The Gathering

| | Comments (4)

Some of the South Bay bloggers gathered at the Mission City Coffee Roasting Company on Wednesday night. Most of the regulars showed up, but a couple were missing in action. If enough of us follow Courtney's lead and call it the Bloggers Meet n' Greet, does that make the name official?

With the exceptions of the open mic Beatles-fest and Jonas fighting punks off from his car, it was a decent venue. At least it was better than anything offered by the establishment. I must confess that I'm a little partial to that cafe. It's only a couple of blocks from my old university and was one of my favorite places to get coffee and cram for classes. Over the last week, I've been getting nostalgic about my college days, but that is worthy of a separate post.

Top 5 things I learned from last night:
  1. Rich now has a photo of Antwon that made his camera investment all worthwhile.
  2. I should really consider trying NaNoWriMo.
  3. Besides being very bloody, Kill Bill incorporates at least 5 different movie genres and includes references to matadors, Nietzsche and Sun Tzu.
  4. I feel awfully low-tech when three people pull out their Powerbooks and all I have is a mocha.
  5. We all dressed way too casually compared to Mark.

I have no idea what to call it since we left meetup.com... suggestions are welcome.

I am also open to venue suggestions, although it seems to be a sensitive issue as of late. I like Mission City and Coffee Society both. Although, the free wi-fi at Mission City is *definitely* a big bonus.

Oh, and one day, you will have a PowerBook ;)

Courtney: I'll try to scout out some other possible venues, somewhere cool and wi-fi friendly. And maybe Santa will get my wishlist this year and a Powerbook will be under the tree. :P

gg: I'm giving nanowrimo a try, but we'll see how many words I can type before my fingers fall off. :)
