Four of us at Coffee Morn today.
F-O-U-R!
So, to those who didn't show, due to the excesses of Beer 2.01 last night, all I can say is: AMATEURS!!
Indeed most of this morns coffee morn in Centotre, revolved around an 'autopsy' of last night. (Including the perhaps ill-advised move on to Teuchters. Plus Iain and Mungo's even more ill-advised move on from Teuchters to a birthday party and on again to someone's works do!!)
Actually it was a cracking night, truth be told, and 'autopsy' is probably more appropriate an expression for today's no-shows. (Oh and before I forget, thanks ever so much to Whitespace for the generous provision of their boardroom, beer fridge, and their client Belhaven's donation of some truly excellent IPA, 80 bob and Fruit beer. Thanks too to Jamie for the tasty tapas, and Johnnie for not coming too early and eating all the food.)
There's some photobooth stuff on last night's attendees here on this flickr set.
(While Frasr+Ewan will be uploading their stills stuff during today here, and here. links to come)
Thanks to everyone who came, about 25 people all told, you can see who is who on the photobooth flickrset.
The other big discussion point today was Ian's suggestion that we invite a bunch of people from the client side to an enlarged coffee morn morning.
It'll give them a chance to chat informally, with the coffee morn regulars, about all the different facets, opinions, theories, experiences, case-studies, and bullshit connected with Web 2.0.
Please comment/give your views.ideas on this below, and as Pink, so eloquently said, let's get this party started.
Ian's email, for more direct contact is here:
He's kindly agreed to be the organisational hub for things, and I also think Andy and Ewan might be co-opted into getting the initiative moving?
I'm happy to liaise with Victor who owns Centotre re logistics on the day.
Perhaps you committee chaps might carry on the conversation here in comments, to keep everyone up to speed on the idea, and your take/s on how it might work?
ps. Next weeks Beer 2.02 is at 5.30 pm Jamie's office;
Terinea: 22/2 Young Street North Lane |
Edinburgh Tel 131 225 2215 Early next week Jamie will be posting details about time, beer sponsors and food plans here: |
Thanks all round to Mikeyboy, Carol and all at Whitespace for a splendid evening. Sorry I couldn't make Centocoffeemorn as I was playing in A Hickory open at Musselburgh. Graham Scott of Nevis only broke the one club, the Beast.
Great night all round.
Keep 'em coming lads, and the occasional lass.

Gutted to have missed both beer 2.01 and today's coffee morning. Sent you a text Mike to see if I could join in via Skype but might not have used the right number?!
Will do better next week and at least make one event as it's a dull week without catching up.

Hello Mike,
A big thanks to everyone who organised last night's get-together, and a big apology for rushing off early to play football.
It was great meeting those of you I had the chance to, and hopefully I'll meet the others before too long.
Ciao for now.
