I have to admit: I did not spend this weekend writing a new post for “What’s In Your Man Purse.” Instead, the Always Hungry Husband and I spent a three-day weekend at sfCUBE for the Women2.0-sponsored “Startup Weekend” event! (To anybody following my Twitter feed, this is not news.  By the way, I am so loving Twitter.  Does this make me twitterpated? And I thought it wasn't going to happen to me.)  Naturally, once I arrived at this event, one of the first things I did was try to locate some geek chic in the form of a man purse. In fact, here is my first tweet of the night:

#sw20sf Scoping out the laptop bags at startup weekend. Will tweet if I find any man purse treasures!

Immediately after posting I saw that this had been tweeted just a moment before by someone with the handle of  @adamjackson:

adamjackson Heads up: If you're a single guy in SF. Head to #sw20sf it's a 4:1 ratio of talented geeky women. Woot! http://women20sf.eventbrite.com/

Correction: talented & HOT geeky women. #sw20sf 4 days ago from Tweetie

Who was this cheeky tweeter?  I couldn’t resist replying with my own sassy tweet:

The ULTIMATE Man Purse?

eVolve Gadget Holster 2.0 - The ULTIMATE man purse?!Shame on engadget for even suggesting that this abomination might be considered a man purse.  This is clearly a holster.  I would categorize it as a peripheral before calling it a fashion accessory.  I don't know who is buying this sort of thing so that they'd actually bother making a version 2.0, but they might as well just be honest with themselves and go around wearing a Han Solo costume. 

This man makes a holster actually look good.Or they can go full geek, and don something like this:

Hey, you've got a Wookie on your back!All joking aside, if you want a man purse but don't want to be actively carrying one, why not try a waist bag?  You know, a fanny pack?  They made somewhat of a comeback in 2007, and there are a few nice designs out there still.

Consider one of these:

So what do you think?
