So for a minute there, we kind of thought that blogging had made us famous. We were invited to sit on a mediabistro.com panel tonight with such NYC blogging celebrities as Gawker founder Elizabeth Spiers and Lockhart Steele, of Curbed fame, as well as people from Razor Magazine, and Engadget.com. Audience members were actually expected to pay $29 to hear us ponder such weighty themes as "Is blogging journalism? Is journalism blogging?" We suppose we should have expected this email from the mediabistro folks this morning: "I'm sorry to drag you into this and now report that tonight's panel is going to be cancelled, but, alas, this is the state of affairs. Our enrollment numbers weren't high enough to run it." Oh, right. We forgot. Who cares?
