Tech Policy Flacks, Hacks Party Like It's 1929

The good folks at 463 Communications who represent a number of Silicon Valley heavyweights in Washington sent out their humorous yet sadly appropriate holiday party invitation on Monday. The title and tagline for the somewhat exclusive soiree: "463’s Depression 2.0 Party: We’re gonna party like its 1929…"

The invitation reads:

It was a time when…
Selling Apple had nothing to do with iTunes
Stampedes were held on the steps of financial institutions
The excesses of big business tanked the economy
The Yankees didn’t make the playoffs

And don’t forget to bring your money (hard cash, your credit probably isn’t any good here) for our annual charity raffle. In addition, to our major prize, don’t miss your chance to win other Depression 2.0 novelties including SPAM, Hamburger Helper, watered down shampoo, airline soap and many other great prizes !

Last year's "Self-Important Holiday Bash" was a show-stopper -- and served as 463's third anniversary party. They commemorated that milestone by showing a really funny video. Click here to relive the hilarity.
