Anton’s Hat

Hi folks I’d like to propose another Limerick Blogger Coffee at the Marriot Hotel for this coming Saturday 12th 16th at 12 o’clock.

It’s at the prompting of the brilliant Alexia Golez (who’s idea the blogger coffee is) via twitter the other night that I’ve decided try to get another one going. I really enjoyed the last one and as Alexia points out it was really a slice of life over a cup of coffee. There was no emphasis at all on technology and business and i was delighted that I didn’t have to explain what I do really that much. The conversation rambled from drugs cheats in the sport to what people mean when they ask “where are you from?” (Tim Bunce had some interesting thoughts on this) to urban renewal in Limerick. It really was very social. I would join in Alexias suggestion that other people do this too as it really was good fun. Go on start one up wherever you are, just announce it on your blog. 4 or 5 people is plenty to start with, it’s enough for a conversation isn’t it?

While we’re on the subject of informal meetups worth mentioning as well in this area and really worth attending is the Limerick OpenCoffee Club held the first Thurday of every month in the Absolute Hotel. It usually kicks off around 11 am and is a fantastic place to meet all kinds of technology people and talk about what you’re doing. James Corbett and Bernie Goldbach are the organisers and it’s a really cool event. I missed the first one of 2008 because I was in Dublin, but I’ll be there in March so I’d love to see you there too.

Anyway in the interim if you’re interested in coming along to the Limerick Blogger Coffee please stick you’re name in the comments so everyone can see who’s coming along.

[Edit] Thanks Reena you’re right what was I thinking about the 12th, 16th it is. duh!
