Breakfast with Butcher in Berlin ? Come meet TechCrunch Europe

Ever since my first TechCrunch meetup in Berlin in 2008 and 2009 I've been keeping a watchful eye on this city as I travelled around Europe covering startups and explaining the scene to anyone who would listen. But since then it's quite clear that a couple of things have happened. The whole European scene has improved massively. There are now startup events, activity and fundraising across Europe in an ongoing manner. Sure, it's not Silicon Valley (I'm sorry, but who cares?) - in fact we should really be comparing ourselves to our own progress, not to other places. And the news is good. The 'Valley Virus' has spread, and Europe is now starting to boast some amazing startups.
