OK, so finally I've got time to write and tell you about a meeting I had on Monday night.

As I mentioned on 30th May, in a piece titled, "World Wide Rant", I'd been contacted by a bloke, called Andy, who was part of a Yahoo group for Colorado bloggers. Englishman In Denver now links to Andy's collabartive blog, World Wide Rant and they, in turn, link back to us.

The next day, I was contacted by another chap, who is the moderator for the group, inviting me to a meeting, held last Monday, at My Brother's Bar.

Attendance was limited to six bloggers, but that was just as well, as there wasn't a whole lot of room. A few others had to cancel at the last minute.

It was nice to meet fellow bloggers over a few pints of Guinness and some of the bar's imfamous burgers. I didn't have a clue what the conversation would be about, but to be honest, I was going just to get out and meet new folk.

Over the course of the evening, the conversation ranged from some technical aspects of blogging, to things we'd all recently written, to just swapping stories. I thought everyone had a good time, although I now understand that some folk were a little disappointed Oh well, I think we did well, considering one of those who didn't show was the guy supposedly organising the whole thing!

Personally, I treated it, as I've said, as a chance to meet new folk, and drink some Guinness. I can't think of a better use for an evening!

I Am So Not Like Him
Of course, as I was a tad nervous, I sub-consciously turned into Chandler from Friends, using humour to pull a veil over shyness. A lot of people do this, the difference is, I'm prepared to admit it.

The Chandler thing was first pointed out to me by a friend back in Britain. Mind you, the same friend said I also reminded her of Clive Anderson (only with more hair!) when I was nervously chatting.

So...
I had a good time. I'd like to apologise to the rest of the bloggers, if I talked too much.

One of the outcomes for me, was finding out about Site Meter, which is a free service providing statistics about website.usage. This blog is now 'sitemetered', meaning that I can not only see how many people are viewing it (not many this week, but I've not written much either), but where they've come from, what site have referred them to me and a whole lot more!

Thanks to Andy from World Wide Rant for the info on Site Meter.
