Ok. Maybe Bianca didn’t really show up at the Sound Factory for Tuesday’s Apple Developer party. But as I was wandering around mingling with lots of developers, some of whom had no clue what kind of music was playing, I walked into one of the rooms and was greeted by a sight of a couple of people making a whole lotta grilled cheese sandwiches while a drum circle was pounding out a rhythm just a few feet away.

Now, if you’ve never been to that alternative cultural event known as Burning Man, or haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Bianca in action , you probably wouldn’t associate grilled cheese sandwiches and drum circles with anything in particular. But if you have, then you’ll understand that seeing this in the midst of a corporate sponsored party was a bit mind-bending. Even if you were sober.

Of course, the people preparing the grilled cheese at the party were hired in and probably had nothing to do with Bianca. But the reference, intentional or not (though I’m not sure how it could be unintentional given that this is San Francisco), was nice indeed.
