When I introduced myself to most of the people they had trouble pronouncing my name (as usual) but most were not quite as well aware of my blogging legacy as Darren’s. There were a few who knew “Yaro” though and it always blows me away to meet people in person who know my blogs and work online. A big hello to Leesa Barnes, Vince Chan (the (in)famous amblogger), Tony Hung (the first real life doctor blogger I have ever met, strangely enough blogging about Web 2.0 and nothing medical), Gary Grant (another blog network owner) and of course the rest of the b5 media crew in attendance, Jeremy Wright (who I had dinner with when I first arrived in Toronto) and Mark Evans.

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.

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.

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
