TechCrunch / August Capital party photos

The patio behind August Capital’s office at 2480 Sand Hill Road has a commanding view of the hills between Stanford University and the tree-guarded mansions of Woodside. Standing on the back patio at sunset with a properly chilled beverage is one of the more pleasant ways to pass a Friday evening. August’s portfolio is a wonky collection of technology firms, which is just how we like it around here. I haven’t mastered the photo layouts on our new site design, so here’s the quick and dirty captions: (1) The back yard, (2) super-successful angel Ron Conway with a new crop of blue-shirts, (3) more back yard, (4) ubiquitous Web 2.0 enthusiast Adam Jackson, (5) TechCrunch editor Mike Arrington — awwww he’s going to smile!
