I logged in just to say that you don't have to feel so disconnected from the startups in SF. Although I don't go to many parties, if I met you at one, I would consider it my good fortune and anything but a buzzkill. Most of my friends probably share that opinion.
Are you guys a nonprofit or a company? I am not a big angel investor (I have made one investment so far), but this sounds like something I would like to invest in / donate to.
My email is aj at ridelabs dot com if you're interested.
