Blogger meet

December 1, 2008 by Jen

Yesterday in the early evening after a couple of other things I had to do, I attended my first blogger/social media meetup in Adelaide.

I was really nervous because I wasn’t exactly sure who’d be there and if I’d know anyone so I had someone to talk to at first. It didn’t matter because there were a couple of people I’ve met at Flickr meets and the others were very friendly so my nervousness was unfounded.

It was one of the rare parties I’ve been to where my son was one of the oldest kids and it was great not to have to supervise him too much around the water feature – not like the other parents had to do for their young-uns. I was surprised that my son didn’t want to go into the spa which of course was fenced.

I finally met Shai Coggins who I’ve been friends online with for a little while now and who raved about my banana cake recipe. If you haven’t made it yet, it comes highly recommended.

It’s kind of strange to go to a function where everyone’s talking about blogging, plurking, twittering, facebook and just about everything online, and everyone knows what the heck everyone means. The consensus at the end of the night was that JJ should start his own blog. I can’t remember how the subject came up, but should he ever want to blog, I’m all for it. I may have to censor it a little bit so he doesn’t incriminate me himself.

I didn’t meet everyone there but there’s always next time. I’m a bit naughty because I took my camera but didn’t take any photos. Again, next time.

    So, so great to finally meet you too! And yes, my boy definitely enjoyed playing with JJ. He didn’t even want to go home yet.

    And yes – that banana cake recipe is definitely highly recommended. 🙂

    Anyway, I’m happy to see that you think there will be a next time. Looking forward to that already!

    Thanks again for being there. 🙂

    Ooooh, I would love to meet other bloggers but Bass strait is a bit of an obstacle. At least I can talk “blogging talk” with my daughter.
    I tried to reply to your comment on my blog but the email was rejected *sigh* your anti-virus stuff musn’t like my gmail..

    thanks for coming over and having a hello… 🙂
    cheers Kim

    Thanks for dropping by Frogpondsrock. That was Hotmail blocking your email. Maybe it’s a Gmail/Hotmail faceoff.
