Yesterday was the first meet up of the London Blog Drink in a cozy pub called the Prince Regent on Glouster Road. I got there fairly on time with the intention of being able to spot out the bloggers from the crowd. Turned out to be a bit more difficult at first. But it transpired that the first couple of people passed by each other until the hostess, Sandrine, came in to draw the crowd together of initially three which gradually built up to a a total of over a dozen odd peeps.
The night turned out to be a real blast with a mix bag of people, though quite a large amount of the French contingent! Blogging about various subjects from architecture, foreign perceptions of us Brits, Web 2.0/social media etc. Had a good old chin wag with a nice fella, Peter, on Ruby then attempting to convert with Sanderine/Peter on the merits of the Nintendo DS, LinkedIn, traveling in asia, the uptake of the new net age in France plus ermm…much more. The Erdinger had something to do with the memory, I forget what. However I do remember being the first outing of my moo cards and handled out a few. Gosh darn, they are cool little critters.
Anyways, can’t wait for the next one scheduled sometime in October. Check out http://upcoming.yahoo.com/ for the news.
