We had a blast at last night's very rockin' IxDA holiday party here in San Francisco, featuring the excellent sounds of My First Earthquake (fronted by ex-Cooperista Rebecca Bortman), Nobody from Ipanema, and The Invisible Cities.

This seems like a good occasion to extend some serious props to Dani Malik and Kim Lenox. They've taken IxDA-SF from its fledgling incarnation as a networking happy hour to what it is today — a vibrant community centered around a series of monthly presentations and discussions that span the diverse perspectives and backgrounds that make up the field of interaction design. Big thanks to Dani, Kim, and the IxDA-SF crew for making this happen.
