Are you in Washington, D.C., tonight? Feel like some ambitious party-crashing? Here’s a dinner to get yourself into: The one Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is hosting for Google (GOOG) CEO Eric Schmidt and a group of digital doers and thinkers.

Other luminaries on the guest list:

  • Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey
  • Howcast CEO and co-founder Jason Liebman
  • Clay Shirky, author and New York University professor
  • Jared Cohen, Member of Secretary Clinton’s Policy Planning staff
  • Andrew Rasiej, founder of Personal Democracy Forum
  • Shervin Pishevar, founder of Social Gaming Network
  • Tiffany Shlain, founder of the Webby Awards
  • Luis Ubiñas, President of the Ford Foundation
  • James Eberhard, pioneer of mobile content and services

What’s on the agenda? Dunno. But I imagine we’ll hear a lot of chatter about it during and after the fact. Here’s Dorsey’s self-portrait, taken en route to the event today:

The event–this year at Foreign Cinema in the Mission District of San Francisco–is held to elicit feedback from the Internet’s movers and shakers about the new directions the conference, set to take place in San Francisco in mid-October, should head in.

Except Battelle and O’Reilly already came up with a theme: “The Web’s Edge.”

I am not entirely sure what that means. Is it that it is at an edge? Or that we need to look at the edge? Or just that things just feel all pointy lately? Big thoughts all!

In any case, the party was a lot of fun and filled with digital personalities, like Mitch Kapor and Ann Winblad, as well as a few folks I interviewed like ex-AOLer Jon Miller, ex-Fox exec Ross Levinsohn, VC David Sze, Tina Sharkey of BabyCenter and Webby Awards founder Tiffany Shlain.

Here’s the video:
