A crowd of famous-for-the-Internet digerati descended on Varnish Fine Art to break the champagne over Valleywag. Poppa Denton introduced his "hungry little monster" to society, Spot-On's Chris Nolan passed the tech-gossip torch, and a crowd of bloggers and dot-commers dutifully drained the open bar. After the jump, photos shot by SFist's Jackson West and lomo'd up by the talented (and occasionally NSFW) Nikola Tamindzic.

The party raged on until 11 — San Francisco's definition of "late at night" — without a single fistfight. Better luck next time. More photos from Jackson West on Flickr. And Scott Beale shot a beautiful and mysteriously well-lit series, which I wish you could see here. If only Flickr weren't getting massaged at press time!
