Mashable Hosts #SummerMash in San Francisco [PHOTOS]

Mashable hosted its second stop on the U.S. Summer Tour in San Francisco Wednesday night. The event brought hundreds from the San Francisco community together for networking and awesome prizes from our sponsors, which included iPads, tickets and much more. We were also joined by Rachel Sklar, who interviewed event attendees and readers participating remotely in our Watchitoo live stream.
