We're not sure exactly how Katie Burke's blog feed made it into our Bloglines account -- or, we should say, we can't remember when we officially subscribed or why. Maybe we found her via a comment she left on one of our posts, or a Technorati search. Regardless, her description of a bad dancer at the Black and White Ball was hilarious.

KRON 4's Brian Shields organized a huuuuuuge blogger meetup at their studios. They've decided to keep working on the rollout of their aggregator and commentary.

We were as surprised as anyone when we received media accreditation to attend this Saturday's San Francisco Symphony's Black & White Ball, described as "one of the world's most extravagant black tie parties." We've been hitting Thrift Town, the yoga studio, and the self-tanner in anticipation of tomorrow's event, which runs at the Civic Center from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. We're trying to act all cool about this, but we're super excited to......
