I rocked up tonight to the blog meetup day today. This time it was held at the Gin Palace, a classy (if expensive) drinking emporium, and not anywhere as offensive as the Starbucks.
My old friend Cos was there as well, and we ended up talking about digital photography, Ben Sherman shirts, subcultures in Singapore and Belgian beer, among other things I wasn't sufficiently sober to recall.
I wasn't too sure at first about what kinds of people would attend a public blogmeet; I was half prepared for a mix equal parts hairy-backed warbloggers and wacky, obsessive teenaged girls. Fortunately, it wasn't anywhere near that bad. I met a number of other bloggers, among them Mark O'Meara, Pixelkitty and Jen, and ended up talking with cypherpunk Julian "Proff" Assange (who must be commended on his taste in headwear) about mass surveillance and other fun stuff.
I do have a surname! I just don't want to tell it to you yet!
