1 week to go!

One week to go to the big night: the first annual HK Blogger's Drinkfest gathering.

The venue will be The Fong in LKF. They don't know it yet - I can't seem to get through but will keep trying. I'm telling them we've got 40 people and I'll try and get the upstairs area for our "private party". 7:30pm start. No finish time.

Please watch this space for any updates. Happy to ehar any suggestions or ideas. I want it to all be very informal. Please refer to the earlier posts for the rules.

One idea worth pondering on the night is Ron's for a HK Blogger Association. It would be a world first, and I think if we adopt some appropriate local charity we can help bring blogging to the poor of HK. I like the idea of having some grouping which meets semi-regularly for alcohol discussions and raising money for some local charity or some such thing too. I'm hoping it becomes big enough that we can get Tung Che-Waa to appoint a crony as chairman. That would make it a well-respected HK institution.

Hey - your cookies work.

Let'snot change the venue or time - I don't think we are going to get hordes of hangers on. In any case, if some did come, we might be able to get them to start blogs and increase the numbers - that would be the only reason people would come I think
