There in spirit
Saturday, October 7th, 2006I had planned on going to the blog conference today. I had registered my interest as soon as it was possible (I had also registered my disgust with Damien for having the conference on a Saturday!) and I was even set to suggest I attend in some kind of official capacity for the Business Post, so why am I blogging from home now?
Well a number of things came up, the main one being the fact that I was asked to travel to London tomorrow until Tuesday… don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with going to London for a few days at the request of the newspaper (in fact I look forward to it), but it does mean that my Saturday has been overwhelmed by the need to pack, prepare and plan etc.
I’ve had very little luck when it comes to blog meet-up’s in recent times. I was in Wolverhampton when the awards took place earlier this year, and returned to Dublin two days afterwards… judging by the topics Slugger has mentioned I am rightly pissed off at not being in attendance; there seems to be a lot of worthwhile discussion going on.
Maybe next time? I would say I’ll 100% be at the next blog event, but I said that last time too.
To Cian and co., congratulations and I hope it is all going as well as it seems from this end.
Blogs elsewhere

Sorry you could not make it, I wondered where you were as I thought it would your ‘cup of tea’!

Yeah, it certainly would have been so I’m rightly pissed about it.
Congratulations all the same though, and the one consolation is the availability of a ton of content online (so while I may have been out of the room, I’m out of the loop!)

I missed it too if it’s any consolation…I had booked a non-refundable place on a creative writing workshop some months ago.
As it turned out it was also very interesting. I’m sure there will be other blogger meetups soon.
