Katie Couric Steals Bloggers Pen

“They pulled me out of the auditorium and told me that they’d become aware of the fact that I had a blog, they said, ‘We don’t want you to participate.'”

Wow.

Big Media just keeps giving us reasons to ignore them.

UPDATE: and, according to this New York Times article on the event, we are ignoring them quite happily:

“… few people thought they could find a way to be home at 5:30 in the evening…”

Bye Rex, Thanks for the Party


(Matt Thompson from the Strib and me in a MNstories video documenting the party.)

I, along with 600 of Rex Sorgatz‘s closest friends wished him well in his move to Seattle and Microsoft last night.

Honestly, I haven’t been to a blow out like that in quite a while. The food, the drink, the hundreds of hipsters in a very tight space.

Among them, I was able to catch up with Ben, Chuck and Lori, Paul, and a bunch of people I haven’t seen in years that are still without blogs. As an added bonus, I finally met – in person – the legendary Adam Sellke and the elusive Dack.

Thanks Rex – for the party and for MNSpeak community (of course more over there). Enjoy your travels west, and oh, and say ‘Hi’ to Scoble for me.
