mike flew out for a microsoft event in las vegas last night as a journalist and because of the influence of techcrunch.com.nik just pointed out some photos on mike’s flickr account showing him @ lunch with bill gates. it didn’t seem like a very big lunch, ie, it was pretty exclusive.

i had lunch with mike yesterday, so I’m going to claim 1 degree of separation from the richest man in the world.

as for mike, i’ve got now idea how he pulled this off. i’ll be sure to ask him about it when he gets back to the crunchhouse.
