Hacker News London meetup this Thursday
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI'm based in the North-West (near Liverpool), but I travel a lot. Sometimes these meetups coincide with my being nearby and I can distort my travels to catch them. This one would've required minimal distortion, but just hours before it was announced I finalized my travel plans for the Thursday and Friday, so there is now no slack available. Shame, really. The potentially quieter venue really appeals to me. ADDED IN EDIT: Thanks for the downvote - nice to know that honest feedback is appreciated. I'm still trying to work out if I can change my plans and make it, but it's interesting how a single action by a single anonymous person can have such a negative effect. I'm not sure if I care to bother any more.
- CyrilMazur 16y agoToo bad, i just left England this morning and won't come back at time. When is next time?
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoWell, I managed to make it after all, rearranging my Thursday evening plans. I like the new venue. It was spacious enough to house those of us who turned up - I didn't count (damn) - and enough space around to let the sound partially escape, so it was possible to chat. Met and chatted with a few people, but I feel that I probably missed chatting with a few people I should've. It would be nice to have some sort of loose structure at some point to let everyone introduce themselves, or something. Not sure what, and wouldn't want too much, but I feel there should be something. But having said that, a good evening, even though I had to leave quite early. I look forward to the next one I can get to. It would be really good to have these on a regular schedule - perhaps the last Thursday of every month? (Except December ...)
