Mashable will be hosting an evening networking event next Wednesday in San Francisco, following our Saturday Seattle SummerMash event for our 2010 Mashable US Summer Tour. Mashable team members are coming to the event along with hundreds of social and tech enthusiasts from the SF/Bay Area community. Come join us for open bar, hors d'oeuvres and some special surprises from our sponsors. Only 192 tickets left through Eventbrite.

For those that are not in San Francisco, we hope you'll join the discussion on Twitter via #summermash and a live stream with Watchitoo on Mashable.com. In fact, we want you to help facilitate some of the discussion on Watchitoo by joining us on-camera to help ask attendees questions and answer some social media trivia. If you're interested in being on-camera to help ask questions, the details are outlined below. You'll also have a chance to win tickets to attend the events.
