As long as you're pretending you went to Supernova, pretend you hit every conference in downtown San Francisco this week. Old-school blogger Dave Winer is holding his BloggerCon "unconference" down the road from Supernova, and he can only let 150 attendees in at a time. (At least at Supernova, there's room to sneak into the Palace Hotel and schmooze for free.) Don't worry, Dave and his attendees are making BloggerCon the most un-unmissable conference of the season.

• Dave lists five ways to tune into BloggerCon on his blog.
• Among those is the #bloggercon IRC channel, on irc.freenode.net, accessible through a Windows program and an OS X program. This backchannel is more useful, less snarky than the one at Supernova. (Probably because the discussions here are more down-to-earth.)
• Follow the conference at its home blog, especially if you plan to stop by for one of the lunches and dinners and such.
• On the home blog, Dave's posting mp3s of the sessions, like this session on tools.
• To listen live (all today and tomorrow), plug this URL into your favorite media player: http://smartstr.wm.llnwd.net/smartstr_liveces
• And, of course, everybody's blogging it.
