What's this like for total newbies to the meetup thing? Does everybody already know eachother? Would I be forced to endure some cruel hazing ritual involving VB6?!
- mbesto 13y agoNewbies very welcome! I've been to at least 8+ HNLondon meetups and still don't really know anyone!
- Peroni 13y agoWell that's not really on. Come find me at this event and I'll introduce you to a bunch of folk.
- mbesto 13y agoWe've met ;) http://vimeo.com/63270428 http://vimeo.com/63270428 Sorry, when I said "met", I meant like I see regulars and there is a niche group of people who only hang out with each other. I've met quite a few people at the events, but only a few who would I recognize if I saw again.
- Peroni 13y agoI know! I remember you well! I misinterpreted your original comment. My mistake.
- Peroni 13y agoThere is always a significant percentage of first timers at each event. The long term regulars tend to know each other but they are also, generally, the most active in terms of meeting new folk and introducing themselves.
- kingofspain 13y agoAll sounds good then! The timing works so this should my first HN meetup. Plus the booze inflation up north has reached such a point now where I no longer faint at the price of a pint in London.
- Peroni 13y agoYou know we provide a mountain of free beer & pizza at the event right? Get in early though.
- timajwilliams 13y agoNice and easy, grab a beer and some pizza and get chatting!
