Jason Calacanis, frenemy of Valleywag's parent company and co-organizer of an event with TechCrunch (the TechCrunch 40), invited me to the event's Facebook group. Upon joining, I asked, "This means I'm in free, right?" Jason's reply: "sorry, no Valleywag people at the event. You guys are just too hated! :-)" Aw Jason, I emoticon you too!
