    MySpace requests friends in San Francisco

    MySpace threw a swanky gathering last night at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art after News Corp. megamogul Rupert Murdoch and MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe's keynote at the Web 2.0 conference. I'd like to tell you more about the fancy guests (there were tons!), L.A.-style atmosphere, and crowd of gawkers who surrounded a Yoda-like Rupert Murdoch, but Valleywag was unceremoniously booted from the party once Dani Dudeck, MySpace's overanxious PR head, found out we were there. (Embedded, above, is Kara Swisher from AllThingsD's take on the scene.)
    I can report however, that for the 20 or so minutes we were able to duck security, we spotted a few Valley notables rarely seen in the wild.

    For example, Greylock VC David Sze, who lead Greylock's $25 million investment round into Facebook last year. Missing from the party? Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg, rumored to be tied up with the funding deal he's so close to closing. Were you there? See anything else interesting? Please share.
