According to JD Lasica, there's quite a bit more going on at Berkeley next week other than the New Media Conference. I'll actually be attending that micro-conference, but would definitely have hit town earlier to hear the likes of Lasica, Vin Crosbie, and Cory Doctorow. And it would have been Musashi++, Zachary's++, Cactus Taqueria++, ...
Sigh.
