I’m with Sarah on this one. Except of course, her pizza theory; who would get the extra two slices? There’d be havoc, havoc I tell you!

Hi, I’d love to meet up and wouldn’t need a celebrity ;-)half a dozen over a pizza would do me. Once its reasonably within the greater Dublin area, and I get some notice, I’ll be there!

I think Twenty Major should be the honorary speaker – I’d buy tickets for that one!

If you removed the Tipperary table from Proby’s Bistro, you would have the normal size of an Irish bloggers’ meetup.

I think you simply announce a blogger meetup in a pub on a weekend with four or five weeks notice and you’ll have attendees making their way into the place.

Actually I was surprised there was more than one woman. There were more women there than most geek events. And don’t worry about drunk bloggers Caoimhe, we’ll ration Gavin. Though Piaras may need watching now, after literally climbing the walls in Paris. Amongst other things…

p.s Just looked up the geek dinner….severe gender imbalance going there. Not a criticism, just an observation.

Its a great idea, but what about those of us who are intimidated by highly intoxicated bloggers? ;op

Blogwards can be the next meetup. Myself and Piaras will be getting everything for this finalised quite soon.

Hey Gavin,
It was a great night wasn’t it? I totally agree with you that we should meet up, at least semi regularly.
When I floated the idea with others, everyone was for it, but one possible issue was that we had a big group because people travelled.

Will people travel without a ‘celebrity’ draw?

I know I’m dead lazy myself, so I can see their point, but I hate to think we’d let it stop us!!!

As you say, let’s find some serious motivator.

Tom R is busy lining up amazing podcasts and he organised Robert Scoble for the last geek dinner – maybe he could find some more ‘celebrity bloggers’ to attend… maybe we could start a paypal fund to pay for travel etc for guests…

Too crazy?
