Just another WordPress weblog

Swannup, the first of many?

Blogging hasn’t really been my forte of late. This is mainly due to my lack of Internet connection at home. I’m finding it increasingly hard to update from work (although, that’s what I’m doing now in my lunch break). Anyway, from Friday onwards I should be connected once again – I can’t wait! Not having Internet is like losing a limb to me. My BlackBerry has been a God send!!!

So, this week I threw my first event. It remained nameless until it was aptly hash tagged as #swannup by @kaigani. So Swannup it was! The event was originally going to be a small get together, but after tweeting about it, it got more interest and I’m very pleased to say around 30 people attended the invite only event at Village East in London Bridge :) There was a great mix of people there, including young budding entrepreneurs, serial twitterers and some very familiar faces from the London Tech Scene. I also met some people that I’ve been tweeting to for a very long time, some for as long as a year or more! I follow some very entertaining people and it’s nice to know they’re just as entertaining in real life :-)

I was trying to lay off the booze with it being a school night and all, but that wasn’t to happen. The shots came out, as did the cocktails. It wasn’t all bad though as I discovered the most delicious cocktail ever named, Tirimisu MMMMMmmmmmm – Divine! Needless to say, I was pretty useless the following day LOL :S

It would be good to get some feedback about the event from the people who went along. Is it worth arranging again? Please let me know. If so, I’ll arrange one for sometime in September.

Right… time to do some work.

Ciao for now

  1. Definitely worth doing again! :D The venue was great, especially the (super rare) burgers.

    Would this be a roaming type of thing, with a different place each time?

    Whatever the case, count me in for the next one :)

  2. Lame excuse! ;) Surely any decent blog engine would let you post from your mobile?

    If my blog didn't work in any old mobile phone browser I'd want to find a different blogengine.
