Carl Icahn will be a no show at the Yahoo annual meeting; he has hopes for "the beginning of a beautiful friendship" with Jerry Yang and Roy Bostock

If you're looking forward to a show from Carl Icahn at Yahoo's annual meeting on Friday you're going to be disappointed.  That's because he won't be there.  With the proxy fight over, he doesn't want to turn the event into a media circus (or maybe more of a media circus than it's still bound to be), according to a post in his blog.

He also talked about why he threw in the towel in his fight with Yahoo as well as about  meeting with Yahooligans Jerry Yang and Roy Bostock a few days ago.  Of the meeting he said:

...I believe both gentlemen genuinely wish that we will be able to work together to enhance value.  While we still disagree on many points, I have great hope "this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Minorities on boards can accomplish a great deal (see following articles on Blockbuster).  I look forward to working harmoniously with the new board of Yahoo!
