Dorky button-downs, laptop bags, and ten guys for every girl — welcome back to high school chess club! TechCrunch blogger Michael Arrington held a dorkolicious Web 2.0 (TM) party this weekend in Seattle. An attendee and pic-provider says,

There were 2 sponsors showcasing their stuff: Farecast and RedFin. FC had TONS of stuff there and a pretty neat product too. RedFin had a pretty barren room and a table full of gift bags which people hovered around but never asked for which lead to this exchange:

RedFin Employee: Who are the gift bags for?
RedFin Exec: They're for our customers.
RedFin Employee: Well who are our customers?
