Who's round is it anyway? (updated)

OK! I know. I owe Max and Andrew a drink. With all of us there I never got round to my round. Next event I promise to make it up to you - so maybe we can plan the next Lewisham Bloggers' gathering in Forest Hill?

Thanks to Andrew for pulling it all together and getting such an interesting crowd of people together. There are loads of things going on everywhere, and Lewisham is no exception. So why not expect a motley crew of bloggers covering a range of topics? The strange thing is how much we do have in common despite all the different lenses we use to review our lives through blogging.

So, you wanted some photos, and here they are. You can see the few I have salvaged. On the night I thought I might be putting various papparazi and even some fashion photographers out of a job with my skills as a photographer. Fortunately I have a day job to go back to, and they can continue to sleep well at night. Having said that, a few photos did come out (after much computer enhancement).

Thanks to all those I met for a wonderful evening. Just so I don't forget, I thought I would list the blogs of those who came to the event to remind me to add more links to them.

Thanks for the photos, there were a couple of others you didn't get to meet Tom, Katy, and publicansdecoy (can't quite recall his offline name, must have taken drink or something) that I can remember.

Robert McIntosh said...

Very useful little index there, Robert!

Publicansdecoy is also known as David.

Nice meeting you Robert, bear in mind that I also enjoy good wine.

kate said...

Hi was realy great to meet you. Thanks for adding the links, I saw the cats doing gaybar .... very good.But i am unable to watch anything else from that site as it makes my pc freeze.

Robert McIntosh said...

oops, sorry

some of them just take a long time to download I think, but they are all in the same style (I think you would have liked the ninja cats song and the odd take on "independent woman" though)

:)

Now you've blown my anonymity...

Great to meet you

Robert McIntosh said...

oops, I did wonder for a second

how about this as a replacement?

seriously, want me to remove these?

bob said...

Don't worry about it! I think I'll survive.

Surely a running commentary of disgrace and traffic cone stealing will follow?

Robert McIntosh said...

surely not!

bloggers only do that sort of thing virtually anyway.

we might drunkenly post a picture of a traffic cone on a google maps image of someone's garden instead

unfortunately hangovers remain mercilessly real

Hangovers... that's why I was politely declining all the kind offers of further drinks but was able to wake up and enjoy the sunshine on Saturday morning ;-)
