The July paper version of the Triangle TechJournal (volume 3.7) has an 
article called Tech Culture, What if they threw a party?

Its not online yet, but here's a couple of excerpts:

"That deafening silence you're hearing is the Triangle tech section 
after-hours scene, which had, until very recently, at least a pulse. 
Now even the crickets have bolted leaving gatherings like 
InternetWorkers and Critical Mass by the wayside and surrendering the 
local bars to those jackals who head out to drink without a single 
business card in their breast pocket."

"... the whole scene got kind of ugly and divisive, with little groups 
of network admins giving the stinkeye to the bizdev folks, who in turn 
were flirting with the marketing hotties, who were too busy pretending 
to listen to the Chief Evangelization Officer."
