For the week that burners are most burnt out, there's a lot of mess on tap. Even (and maybe especially) excluding the postponed Women on the Web mixer.

Tuesday: The monthly Silicon Valley blogger meetup (every first Tuesday) is happening at Santa Clara's Barefoot Coffee. We're not sure who HyperScope is or what they do, but hey, parrr-tay in Menlo Park, babies.

Wednesday: There's a 'New Tech' meetup at CNet's offices on 2nd in SOMA, offering four five-minute demos in a speed-dating format. Vote for the girl with personality!

Thursday: The hipster video geeks at the Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC [pronounced 'Bay-Vack']) are hosting a happy hour, and videobloggers, documentarians and auteurs better recognize.

Friday: For those of you who carry the trust fund burden, cashed out or went Christian, San Francisco's Commonwealth Club is hosting a discussion about microfinancing and its role in America and the developing world beyond.

Saturday: Think your game for a wifi-enabled Mario Kart DS showdown? Then Canvas Cafe is the place to be. Afterwards, indulge your creative temptations at sleepovers hosted by either the Crucible or the twelfth SuperHappyDevHouse.

Sunday: RE/Search is hosting a party around the publication of their book about J.G. Ballard. Survival Research Labs promises a 'climactic' surprise. Reow.
