That’s it for another year
Sunday, March 4th, 2007The Irish blog community is wallowing in a collective hangover after last night’s festivities, which were very enjoyable.
Congratulations to all the winners - and to everyone involved in the event itself (especially Damien).
I did manage to put some faces to the names, and had good chats with a few of you, but maybe not as many as I had hoped. At times itt felt almost like some kind of speed-dating event - everyone wanted to chat to everyone else, so we were all wandering around introducing ourselves, chatting and then moving on to start the process again.
Same again next year, I hope, and after the initial ice has been broken for me I’ll certainly be doing my best to attend any other blogger’s night out in the near future.
So how did I do with my predictions? Well I got Best Photoblog, Best Arts and Culture Blog, Best Political Blog, Best Designed Blog, Best Sports/Recreation Blog, Best News/Current Affairs and Best Podcaster all right - in other words, don’t take any betting tips from me, ever.
Oh and one final thing - many slaps on the back to Bernie for handing the Best Contribution award over to Damien, who, as he said himself, really deserved it. So, can we call it “The Mulley” now?
Blogs elsewhere

Well how did your non-blogging girlfriend get on?

Good question!
It started out a bit dodgy when she saw the Second Life party (which, for my part I couldn’t really come to terms with either), but she enjoyed it otherwise.
She seemed to have a good time, and was interested in a few of the blogs and the whole thing in general.
I was nervous about wandering around chatting too much incase she felt like a bit of a spare part, but she didn’t and didn’t mind it at all.
She said she’d go along with me again, so that’s always a good sign!

Kiss of death! Still, good to meet you both. It was kind of like speed dating but speed dating people you had heard stories about but could not quite match the face to the rumour!

Was good to meet you, even if I was ranting even more then I do online.
