Do Android users party better than iPhone, BlackBerry, Nokia users?

:: Become a friend of BaltTech on Facebook::

While iPhone, BlackBerry and Nokia users were leading their boring little lives last night, die-hard Android fans were partying it up at the schwanky Crush in North Baltimore.

My unschwanky self stopped by for a few minutes and was pleasantly surprised to see the robust turnout: about 100 people or so showed up for the event, sponsored by Verizon Wireless. It was part happy hour, part playtime with Verizon Android devices. Oh, and they had free, tasty-looking appetizers, which alas, I did not partake in.

Kevin Krause of the Phandroid blog and other bloggerati were there.

So when's the next Baltimore-area Android event, Verizon Wireless?

Here are some pics from last night:

Was this just for bloggers or something?
I have an Android and I wasn't invited :-)
Who do you have to know?

I think it was promoted mostly via Verizon's Twitter/Facebook presence. (I think.) Do you follow Verizon Wireless on those sites? -gs

Like most Droid Incredible users, I can only party so hard before I run out of batteries.

Ha! -gs
