News You Can Bruise for 2003 February 2 (entry 1)

Sun Feb 02 2003 20:49 Name-Dropping: I can't think of any hook on which to hang this story, so I'll just tell it and hope you'll be interested. On Wednesday afternoon the power went out in Brisbane, so we (Brian, Ed, Dan, and myself) decided to take a long lunch. We went to a restaurant in Burlingame (that reminds me; more amazing Burlingame restaurant stories coming up! Stay tuned!), and outside the restaurant Brian encountered some people he knew from Organic. Here comes the part I hope you'll be interested in: they were having lunch with Shawn Fanning from Napster. It sort of reminded me of a dot-com version of this old Doonesbury cartoon.
