Bloggers4Labour Meet Up

Just got back from the Bloggers4Labour blogmeet near Mansion House* (not in it obviously!).

I have the distinct advantage at being the first person able to blog about it (unless someone took a blackberry with them) and post photos. I have the distinct disadvantage of not staying to the end, so I may have missed something exciting - although I doubt it. In fact the hard core are probably still there now.

I am sure there will be a raft of posts and photos detailing exactly what happened with who where - although I make the observation that there were no women there, so it's unlikely there was much funny business.

Perhaps we need blogmeets just for women All Women Socials (AWS) - it would give women more opportunities in a pub environment if nothing else. Perhaps such a blogmeet is running somewhere in London right now, but no-one told us. We can but hope, eh?

Actually forget I mentioned it.

One more advantage about writing these events first-hand is that if you take the photos, you can make sure no-one sees you looking worse for wear. Not that I really had a drink or stayed long enough for that to be true.

Anyway, good event, some new faces and some old ones too! Hopefully we'll be able to meet up again (and with people who live well outside London) at Conference in Manchester next month.

Two questions I'd like to ask then for others following up with subsequent posts:

1./ Exactly how many people write for Fisking Central? (I've counted 5, it's turning into something of Recess Monkey proportions!)

and

2./ Who was Paul speaking to when he had to rush away from the table so urgently and came back grinning from ear to ear (refusing to tell us which female he had been talking to)?

All answers appreciated. Even rubbish ones. :-)

(*This reminds me that I should share with you that I wrote a musical called "Mansion House" - well I wrote 3 quarters of it, before I realised no-one would publish it/stage it! If anyone wants to see this masterpiece become a reality and has any ideas how to do this, please do let me know. I think finish writing it might be a good first step!)
