Change of venue for meetup
Due to the untimely and unfortunate demise of Upstairs at Gemini, I've changed the venue for next Thursday's (29th Jan) meetup to The Florist, on the corner of Upper North Street and Regent Hill. Same time, 8pm. Same agenda, drinks and chat.
Hope to see you there!

We met...
Sorry it has taken a while to find 5 minutes to write this post, and I can't do the usual updates and photos etc as my laptop has died :-(
But, we met up last Thursday in The Eagle and a fun time was had by all, conversational topics covered using wordpress as a cms, the idea of the Brighton Geek Cafe, the lack of Joh, reminiscences of previous meetups (discussions about Harold Pinter in Kemp town at 4am apparently), ways to make the list of blogs more useful (tagging?), iPhone development, the picture of the Beatles on acrylic that was being paraded around the pub, more frequent meetups, women in media conference, chomsky, Maggie Boden and Cogs
The blogs represented were:
The next meetup will be on Thursday 29th January, not sure where yet, but will keep you all informed. As usual, the details are on upcoming.

Time for a meetup
Ok, so it has been almost a year since the last meetup, so it must be time for another one :-)
When: Thursday 30th October 8pm
Where: The Eagle, 125 Gloucester Rd, Brighton [map]
See you there? Sign up on upcoming, or just come along - we'll be downstairs in the bar area somewhere - look for a table with Brighton Blogger moo cards and come along and say hi

We had a great meetup on Thursday, with probably 14 - 15 bloggers in attendance. Lots of chatting and drinking, and a round table discussion about what we blog about and why are we driven to do it - quite an interesting insight with a mixture of people blogging to remember, blogging to share and blogging to connect with people who may have similar interests.
Blogs represened were:
More photos in the flickr group.

At the last meetup I produced an image containing the front page of all blogs. This time Richard produced a graph of the increase in blog numbers over the year.
He says "It was calculated by looking at the number of blog links
from the pages stored in the wayback machine, via two little
Groovy scripts I knocked up. Then thrown into NeoOffice and
Numbers."
Blog roll and photos of the meetup to follow.

Brighton Digital Festival
Just a quick straw poll. Should there be a Brighton Bloggers meetup to coincide with the Brighton Digital Festival? I'm thinking there should be, but with so many events already planned, does Brighton need another one? Please leave your thoughts as a comment.

On Monday evening, in preparation for this evening meetup, I ran a script to take a screen shot of all of the Brighton Bloggers sites. These were then pulled together into one big image. I had an A3 and an A2 version with me this evening in the pub and they certainly elicited some interest.
The original, full size image, can be seen here (it's too big for flickr).
Blog roll and photos to follow in the next few days, but for the moment - thanks for coming guys, hope you enjoyed it and hope to see you at the next one!
