I had a great time, everyone. To tell you the truth I was a bit hesitate about the whole thing considering my age, but I was glad that I came and joined in on the conversations. I had a good time and got some useful information, hopefully i’ll be able to put that into practice between now and the next meeting and then you guys can help me with my next hurdle.

Thanks to all the organizers, fantastic job. I’d like to echo the sitting down thing though, it would be nice if we could have some seats, that way we might be able to get a little more laptop action happening and see some behind the scenes stuff of some peoples blogs.

Oh man! No one told me about this night! I would have loved to meet you guys.

Darren, chuck me on the email list for the next one.

Very enjoyable night – thanks everyone.

Good to finally catch up with you Darren – yes, you’re right: we’ve chatted over the years but first time face-to-face.

Did a little networking, it was good to see a few journo’s amongst the lot – not sure about the music later on though – a bit TOO experimental for my liking :-)

Shame I missed it – looks like you all had a great time. I will try and catch up with everyone at the next one.

Hey Darren,

Thanks for organising the meetup — I had a great time. I agree with what Gala and the others said re: the venue, though, and would like to check out other spots if possible.

Hi Darren Ed from the Tomato blog (www.tomatom.com). We briefly met and I had to leave early. Great to meet and talk. I had some interesting conversations about the lack of local blog/internet advertising companies or local offices of the established ones. Plus the lackof profile of blogs in dead trees. Look forward to next one.

I haven’t been there at night, but I think it should be okay. Might be worth calling them to see what their schedule is like. Plus there’s a cute semi-outdoor area which I think would be relatively quiet regardless of what is happening.

just found it – here. What’s it like at night? The thing I did like about horse bazaar was it wasn’t too noisy (til the experimental dj/cd launch started at 10 and cleared the place…)

do they have a website? sounds like a cool spot

There’s a cute little cafe on the corner of A’Beckett & Elizabeth Streets, upstairs, called Workshop. Free wifi, good coffee, liquor license & big tables to sit around! Problem solved ;>

I think Gala is right – although I have no idea what alternate place there would be? My knowledge of the city now is so rusty, I couldn’t make a suggestion.

It’ll be hard too, coming into winter, to find a place indoors to facilitate what we want. Once the weather improves, it might be easier to find a nice beer garden somewhere and sit around.

Not to take away from the fact it was a great night, thanks again Darren!
