I had a great time at the Mesh meetup last night in Toronto.
It was great to meet a few old friends and a few new ones – putting a lot of names to faces including Tony from Deep Jive Interests, Sacha Chua, Stuart MacDonald, Mark Evans (whose office I’m writing this from at the moment), Rob Schaumer (who hugged me – because I in my previous post about the event I asked for hugs due to the coldness), Leesa Barnes, Vince Chan, Rob Hyndman, Yaro Starak and more.
Canadians are a friendly bunch!





My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from blogs like 
Hey, we’re trying very hard to “toughen up” our friendly image! We went so far as you change our national mascot from the beaver to a beaver with razor sharp fangs and pointy claws.
I think you sent our “Canada — We’re tough too” campaign back six months.
:(
It was great to finally meet in person! Hope your stay includes more than just meetings — try and see the Leafs or something ;)
Cheers

Ditto – and looking forward to that mesh-b5media dinner!
I’m sad that I had to miss it.
actually we just booked tickets for Saturday night. My first hockey experience.
Canadians are friendly I don’t know why some Americans dis them.
it was great to meet up with everyone, and of course Darren & Jeremy. It was also a great surprise to find Yaro there.
Enjoy the Leafs game.
Thanks for the shout out. I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to chat more, but at least I got to shake your hand :) And had I known you needed a hug, I would’ve hugged ya. Lord knows I need one too.
