Vancouver Bloggers Meetup July 2008

The Black Water Cafe (map)

Selected By: Raul

This is the actual real deal. After months of not having a meetup, this is the one for July. Please RSVP as I would need to tell Shane (the Blackwater Cafe owner) of how many people actually will show up. I would also appreciate suggestions for format.

While the previous Blogger Meetups have not had any specific format, maybe this one could be sort of a "let's share our perspective on".

I have a lot of experience moderating roundtables, so if you feel comfortable with that idea, maybe I could moderate the roundtable discussion on a certain topic. Suggestions accepted. The alternative would be, of course, to just hang out together :)

Please bring $1.50 (one dollar and fifty) to cover Meetup.com charges. Thanks!

    Hello everyone

    Looking forward to my first meeting with you.

    I'm the new kid on the block, but have an opinion about the location. :):)

    I live in Kits and get around on public transit and use the car co-op, so I'd prefer a transit-friendly location.

    Bonnie (who has an opinion on just about any subject) :)

    I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone. And Bonnie - THIS is a transit-friendly location. Want directions from Kits? Take the # 4 Powell from anywhere on 4th Avenue and you'll be dropped off a block away. So, really, it IS accessible.

    What a great group! It was my first bloggers meetup and I thought everyone was friendly, passionate about blogging, interesting, and very knowledgeable. Looking forward to future events and getting to know people.

    It was a pleasure to meet more people in the local blogging scene. Took some photos of the evening: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tinybites/sets/7215760646448...

    This was one of the most fun VBM's I have attended. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, and get to know new ones.

    Great group, great people.

    Wow! We overwhelmed the little Black Water Cafe, taking every seat in the house. I suspect that we are going to need some bigger venues in the future. Still, despite the overflow and high noise level, I had a nice time. Many people to talk with, friends to catch up with, people I'd met briefly to visit with again. I hope that we'll be able to have these on a regular basis in the fall and winter, as it's clearly a popular and growing group in the Vancouver social scene.
