Geekin' It Out Last Night

Props to Mitch and Michael for organizing Geek Dinner II (my invitation got lost for the first one).

Geez, finally got a chance to speak with Sulemaan Ahmed, who I see at almost every event. Lot's of great laughs.. And, David Jones - whose face shows up on several of the blogs I read. And, Sean Moffitt who I was supposed to meetup for a coffee one day but I got the cafe's mixed up - yes! There are 2 roastery's in this city...definitely some cool cats were in the house.

The usual crowd too - Chris, Kathryn, and Ed Lee (who too I see all the time and never get a chance to speak with...next time)

Great conversations with Goody from McLaren McCann...but not about marketing but Summerhill and the love of good food in this city. yum!

It was good times all 'round.

Who's going to Usability camp next week?

i thought i recognised you!

i should probably apologise for my shyness, next time i'll definitely say hi...

Michelle Tampoya said...

Why do you gotta be so shy for? Well frown on me too for not coming over. I am sure there will be plenty more times...will miss ya on the 14th at 3rd Tuesday with Shel. He is definitely a great speaker...I will trust you will ask him about the crayon launch...why the rush?

Ed Lee said...

so many questions - such a botched job!

Vasta said...

UsabilityCamp! Woohoo! See you there.

Michelle Tampoya said...

Ed - did you log in? It took me forever and a day it seems. The funny thing too is that someone in there told me that a podcast of the event would be coming out. I have yet to hear anything about that. Plus, I was surprised there was no follow-ups with all that were in there...experience etc. Lots more...a long discussion...hm.

Sameer - thanks for letting me know...looks like a sold out show! Are you going to blog about it for the best BLOG ever?

Michelle,
Great finally meeting and talking to you last night...it would appear you have a lot of things on the go. It still won't stop me to charm your ear off on bloggers that have an affinity for entertainment, fashion, shopping, tech, trends and waht I couldn't remember - Food & Drink.

Good finally meeting you too. I did go to the crayon launch on a last-minute whim and managed to weasel my way in past the waiting list.

I believe Jaffe included the audio on one of his recent podcast episodes.

I hope we get to talk more at the next thing...it's not as if I never see or speak to the other guys all the time.

Sulemaan said...

M,

Great meeting you as well finally. Looking forward to seeing the video podcast...

Chris Clarke said...

It was good to see you too, Michelle. Maybe you can make it out to next month's third tuesday

Dave - really? I must have missed it then. TBH, what I did catch sounded a lot like the CMA DMC...

Chris - Shel is great, enjoy his presentation/talk/conversation

Sulemaan - don't be a stranger next time.
