The WSA put on its annual awards show last night, and by the size of the crowd and buzz in the room, the tech industry is going strong and continuing to propel the state's economy.

It wasn't exactly the kind of Silicon Valley-boom-era celebration with vodka poured continuously from an ice luge, but still ... well dressed people toasted with lemon peel martinis, and acrobats in red velvet suits dangled from rings on stage.

Among the highlights, emcee Dave Ross sang a hilarious "I Got YouTube" to the tune of Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe."

"I took a bath with a cat and a million people downloaded that," he crooned.

Zoodango CEO James Sun brought some energy to the graying crowd, and he was offered a date with the daughter of one of the presenters, evidently a fan of his on-the-job-performance as a cast member of NBC's "The Apprentice."

YouTube's new owner, Google, joined the festivities for the first time as a sponsor, and new WSA President Ken Myer said the association will partner with the Technology Alliance and other groups advocating state educational intiatives.

The strangest moment of the night occurred toward the end, when an excited Bill Baxter exclaimed "Jesus Christ!" right before the community choice award was handed to Logos Bible Software.

Otherwise, the awards themselves lacked much spice, since the companies have been around for some time already.
