Night

Last night's HK blogger meet-up was a success. Various people drifted in and out but there about 10 bloggers over the course of the night. We even had a blogger from the US who came along - although it was a worry at first when he was wielding his camera. Even Shaky turned up and after everyone got through the Doris thing he turned out to be a top guy. I managed to make my excuses and leave about midnight but a few of the lads (as it was by then) had that gleam in the eye...I don't think they'll be home yet. Of course they weren't facing having a 2 year old join them in bed at 6am (at least I hope not).

We had Dan Gilmour turn up for a while. Who's Dan Gilmour? Turns out he's a Silicon Valley newspaper identity, so we're all expecting plenty of traffic in the next few weeks. Plus he had this really cool phone/organiser/web browser thingymiggy.

Otherwise there was Phil, UK Joe, Eyal, Chris, Ben for a brief visit, Ron, and a few adoring fans. OK maybe not adoring, but interesting nonetheless. The conversation covered most of the common issues and problems we all face as bloggers. You know, like what the hell to write about each day. Hemlock and Conrad didn't appear, although I suspect they did a "walk past" to check us all out and were suitably impressed by what they saw. I've no doubt something similar will happen in the not-too-distant future.

Meanwhile I expect light blogging today. Mostly because I'm not at work and it's a beautiful day today. Plus we've got out-of-town guests staying with us. Shame coz there's lots to talk about.

UPDATE: I've been remiss and put in Chris, who apparently wasn't there, and omitted Dave, who was.

hi phil-
i really enjoyed meeting the hk "gang" last night.
thanks for putting the meet-up together.

just so you feel better, i never post a persons photo without a model release, and i would never associate a name with a face. you probably have more risk with people and their camera phones.

anyway, thanks again for doing this and i look forward to reading more on yor site.

peace

terry

I've read on two blogs that I was there last night. I wish I had been, but honestly I wasn't! Glad to hear you had a good time, and I'll try harder to be there next time.

Chris, I think you were being confused with Dave.
