The best journalism party of the year is the EBPC's Annual Awards Dinner, being held this year on Friday, May 29 at the Silver Dragon, 835 Webster St. in Oakland's Chinatown.

We'll announce the

"College Journalist of the Year."

Cocktails are at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 and program at 8 p.m with music and comedy by San Francisco Chronicle reporters Joe Garafoli and Kevin Fagan.

It's gonna be great!
