I went to my first ever Lewisham Bloggers Meetup last Friday night, handily enough held at our excellent local, The Honor Oak.
I had no idea what to expect; the internet all-too-easily removes any kind of geographical points of reference, What could we possibly all have in common other than sticking our random and seemingly unrelated thoughts up online once a day/week/roughly-whenever-the-hell-they-feel-like-it? It stemmed from the London Bloggers idea which I joined a while back, soon after which a couple of people made contact via the comments on fork handles...
...fast forward to Friday night at The Honor Oak, everyone was very welcoming, absolutely engrossing and a great pity I couldn't stay for longer than a couple of beers. Still, if they'll have me back, I'd very much like to continue some of the conversations I had with Andrew, Henry, Neil and Robert (who was responsible for organising the evening -> *applause*) and also meet those who I missed when they arrived later on!
Yep, count me in for the next one. Now, what on earth was that thing about underground waterways??
Nice to meet you Adrian; I think you can assume you're in!
ReplyDeleteyes, thanks for the nice comments. as with all these things, the first meeting is the tough one.
ReplyDeletejust imagine what we are like on the second date!
look forward to meeting up again soon, and if you really want reminding about the underground waterways, let me know
