Mike Azzara from Ziff Davis Enterprise had arranged a dinner for three people—he’d be bringing along a new ZDE editor named Stephen Wellman, whom he’d just hired from (of course) CMP. The dinner reservation was at a restaurant called TWO, in the trendy SoMa district of San Francisco, apparently in the original 1922 headquarters of the San Francisco Newspaper Company. Perhaps this was why, as I would soon discover, it was popular with media people.
