Blogger Night: Feedback

Just spoke with The Fong. It is all systems go for next Wednesday night, starting at 7:30pm. However I need some feedback.

I've told them we have 30-40 people coming. There's a minimum spend of HK$4,000 + 10% which should be OK so long as 30 people or so actually turn up. We can also get food platters at HK$120 + 10% per platter with various finger food. If we do all of this the upstairs area is ours.

The other alternative is we just all turn up there, stretch out and take over by force. Please let me know ASAP on (a) numbers (b) do we use force or book ahead?

We just had a blogbash in Sydney. The first thing is to make sure the venue isn't full of noise- from what I've seen and heard from bloggers around the world, a private residence is the best place to host a blogbash. Failing that, a restuarant is better then a pub.

It would probably be wise to book ahead, as humble small businesses would be bewildered otherwise as they come under a heavy offensive by 30+ bloggers. This, strangely enough, is rather intimidating to the poor saps in this world that don't actually read blogs.

I might turn up, but I'm kinda put off by the though t of being stuck with a $4k minimum bar bill.

30 or 40 people sounds like a heck of a lot. Is it realistic?

Your venue and arrangements are OK.

Count me in.

Dave, I think Simon meant 4K shared amongst ALL people present there and not individually.

Still...

Even with 10 attendees, the bill should be roughly around 400 to 500 bucks each.

If there are more, well, we will start going to Church. No?

Cheers!

Showing up it is. It's too much trouble the other way. Pass the word and I'll announce it all early next week.

I'm coming, and I'm bringing Conrad!


Just kidding, Conrad.
