Well, despite it raining cats and dogs, we had a good turnout at the Spring Bloggers meetup last night. Probably best to call it a social from now on I think. Plenty of new faces and a handful of old which made for an interesting mix. We’ve actually grown to around 160 members now which is nice. The bad news is that I was pretty sick and had to slope off home early doors (which is when the snap above was taken). Still, I had time to have a chat with Peter about a new project he’s working on, Andy Roberts, Matt from Londonist (who has promised to speak about Londonist at one of the next events), the lovely Jaz , Chris, Jurga , Rajesh, fabulous Francine, Tim, Malcolm Eggs and many more. Keep on coming folks. I’m hoping that I’ll be at least healthy next time and possibly with some more of those free beers we’ve had in the past. If anyone got any good photos last night, or a reasonable idea of how many people attended, please drop me a line. Cheers! Andy

With less than a week to go before the next bloggers’ meetup we’ve got a full house. That’s right, all 60 places have been snapped up, which means we’re all set for a cracking night. We don’t have a sponsor yet though, so if you represent a company and would like to help a bunch of friendly bloggers get into the spirit of things – i.e. buy us a few drinks – then do feel free to get in touch. Cheers, Andy PS If you’re reading this and would like to join the London Bloggers Social, you can do so on the Meetup page.

It looks like we got a mention in the Metro today!! Check it out on the centre pages, right next to a print from Russian artist Louis Lozowick. There’s a clipping below but you’ll need to pick up a copy of the paper to read the full article. Thanks to Jennifer Cox for a decent write-up. If you’re reading this and want to come along to the next bloggers social you can reserve a place at Meetup. See you all on April 29th!
