Looks like this week’s bloggers meetup went well. It’s a pity I couldn’t make it, because I would have loved to have caught up with JOOB and his parents! Sounds like Simone had a good time, as did Dee (take a look at the giant-gherkin-in-a-can!).
And speaking of meetups, Jon of AustralianBlogs has an idea for a virtual meetup of bloggers in January - on the 10th. He’s set up a chat room. You’ll need to create an account for yourself if you’d like to join in. I have - I’ll actually be in Sydney that week so I’ll see if I can get myself to an Internet cafe at that time!
I agree with Jon: “(I don’t know about you but) face-to-face is hard work”. I find virtual meets more satisfying than face-to-face, especially when there are lots and lots of people I don’t know. The Perth bloggers meetup is not too bad now I know a few people, though.
I had a great time at the party! I even feel almost hungover this morning - must be the fact that Baubles the Cat kept trying to wake me up, starting from 3am all the virtual beer and vodka Paradoxa imbibed during the evening.
More pictures and comment at virtual lint.
A first: tonight I’ll be attending my first ever virtual party! If you’ve never checked out Second Life before, do consider coming along tonight, 6pm Western Daylight Saving Time. You’ll need to download the Second Life client in order to join us. The party will be at the Australian Libraries building in Cybrary City. Teleport yourself there using this link.
Or, once you’re in the world, we can teleport you to where it’s all happening - look for Paradoxa Kurrajong (yours truly’s avatar), or Emerald Dumont, or Hypatia Arcadia, or Curious Forager, or HeyJude Jenns, or Fiona Bradley… snail Voskhod, I hope you make it, even if you’re late!
I wish I could be in two places at once - I’ll be missing tonight’s bloggers’ meetup. Dee, and Skribe and Toxic Purity (wish I could see JOOB), and Simone, have a great time!
