We saw the entrepreneur at a party Saturday night and can tell you that the cut looks better in person than it does in pictures, though four weeks worth of growth probably helps. So why did Rose shed his trademark shaggy locks in the first place?

He told Valleywag that he was worried about the Hawaiian heat of David Hornik's The Lobby conference, and decided to go short. By himself. Using the No. 5 setting on his electric razor. And we're willing to wager that the barber's blood-alcohol content was a bit north of .08, cause, really, who cuts their own hair while sober?

Now that the haircut question is settled, let's ponder a more tantalizing query: Why was Rose seen arriving and leaving the party with Lara Doucette, better known as Lala on the Web video show TikiBarTV? We had high hopes for his reunion with ex-girlfriend Sarah Lane once we saw them together in Hawaii a few weeks ago. Perhaps this is a rekindling of another old flame? Kevin and Lala looked awfully cozy at last year's Revision3 launch. (Photo by b_d_solis)

<![CDATA[Geek out: Revision3 Launch Party]]>

Last night, Digg founder Kevin Rose and pals celebrated the relaunch of his Revision 3 online TV network with a party at Mighty, a San Fran venue currently sporting sculptures of flying underwear (really. Don't know why). Scott Beale provides the photos below.

Photog Thomas Hawk shows off his full head of hair to Digg coder Owen Byrne. Owen is only smiling to lure Thomas closer; in the next unphotographed moment he whips out a switchblade and forcibly scalps Thomas.

Can you spot the ass pat?

Say hi to Valleywag's new party correspondent, Megan McCarthy! (Really! If you see her at a party, be nice, cause she's got the gossip power!)

 - Valleywag
"Stupid (mumble) geeks, (mumble) "The System is Down" (mumble) fifty-five times (mumble) burn this place down."

 - Valleywag
"Does anyone want Kevin Rose to sign their breasts? Anyone? Please don't make us pick Om Malik, we did him last time."

 - Valleywag
"Color me unimpressed; this is so not as fun as the last 'Project Runway.'"

 - Valleywag
If you ask video star Dr. Tiki to "write you a prescription" one more time, he will kick you in half.

 - Valleywag
Heeeeere's Johnny!

Vloggers Kent Nichols and Irina Slutsky left early to form a death metal punk band.
