Geek out: Horseback and schwag hoes at the Valleyschwag Hoedown
Valleywag usually doesn't run party pics more than a day after the event, but this weekend's bash was way too fun (you should have been there!) to pass up. Valleyschwag, the corporate-goodies-of-the-month-club run by the web developers at Rubyred Labs, hosted a hoedown at its office in San Fran's SOMA district. The dazzling shots above and below are by I-can't-believe-he's-not-pro photographer Scott Beale.

Whore.

"They can't haves it! It's mine, my precious!"
This is why we got the Brokeback jokes out of the way.
