On Wednesday I walked to Wynyard Park to meet up with an unknown number of  people I didn’t know for lunch.
Of the millions of people who could have shown up, 6 of us did, and we went to Starbucks, as it looked much warmer in there than it was in Wynyard Park. Anti-clockwise from the wall there was: Justin, dvm, CraigS, Michael Canaris, RodeoClown and Luke.
As Andrew (dvm) said: “…it turned out to be just a normal conversation between six people”. In fact, it was almost entirely unlike a group blind man-date, with the exception being that there was a group of men who turned up unaware of who else would be there. Actually, put like that, it does indeed sounds quite a bit like that. Hmmm.
It was nice to put some faces to names, and to be surprised by who turned up (Luke had posted over at Justin’s blog that he would try and get there, but Andrew was there first, and both Justin and I both mistook him for Luke, which (having now met both of them), is kinda wierd as Andrew is not exactly tall or British, and Luke is kinda not small, blonde, or a criminal lawyer.
Meeting people from the internet is fantastic (assuming you don’t hang out in seedy places online), I highly recommend it! In fact, we are having a family we met on the internet over for dinner next week.
RodeoClown: loves meeting new people (and even people who aren’t new at all, but just ones I haven’t met before).
