postscript on gapingvoid salon #2

We had a lovely time at our second gapingvoid salon the other day. Thanks to Everybody for coming.

Thanks to the Internet, you can quite easily talk to thousands of people a day.

But as anyone who has spent far too much time on the Internet will know, there’s no substitution for face-to-face.

So I sent word out on the newsletter, Hey, there’s a party at gapingvoid Central on Friday. Downtown Miami, near the Miami Heat Arena. Why don’t y’all come along?

And so people came along. Some I knew well, some I hadn’t met before. We had wine, we had food, it was good times all round.

And people just talked and hung out. I gave a little two-minute speech (the photo is people watching me give it), but mostly is was just abut people meeting up.

Like-minded people.

All looking for the same things as me. Ideas. Purpose. Conversation. That kinda thing.

Thanks to blogging, I know a lot of people. A TON. So why not get them to meet each other? Why not hang out all together?

And so that is what we did. Exactly.

We’ll be having another one soon. I hope y’all can make it this time…
