So last night was fun … YAY 😀
Thanks so much to Chris Mills for suggesting the great venue! Alba Lounge was the perfect spot for our little get together – fantastic views of Cape Town’s V&A Waterfont, plenty of space, loads of comfortable seating, lovely lighting, pleasant background music (so that we could actually hear ourselves thinking), pretty good bar service and plenty of delicious hot and cold snacks.
And thanks to everyone who could make it last night – it was brilliant to once again hook up with the wonderful people that I’ve already met – Pam Sykes, Wogan May, Eric Edelstein, Beverley Merriman and Catherine Luckhoff, and it was AWESOME to finally meet those that I’ve known online for a while but never met in real life – Andre van Rooyen, Saul Kropman, Walter Pike and the man who never fails to crack me up, Amod Munga (who was there his beautiful Soul Mate). I also got to meet Bergen Larsen, who’s also in town for a few days (good luck for next week!) as well as the infectiously effervescent Eran Eyal from Springleap.

All in all it was a really good evening – I only got back home at about 1.30 this morning wah! Haven’t done THAT for a while hehehe 🙂
Just a heads up for you: We’ll be organizing another tweetup in about 2 weeks’ time when the awesomeness of SheBeeGee hits Cape Town! So keep your schedules free!
Hope you’re all having a rocking weekend

@Andre … 😀
“the big decision” … what have i missed Mr VR?
I’m still running off of the vibe that I picked up with all you wonderful folk!
Managed to corner and jabber to all my fave Capies, and some new ones.
Admit to being a little tongue-tied around the hostess, but she’s such a hottie, so I forgave m’self…boys will be…y’know…:))
Had the Google “5 Agencies disintermediation” saga explained in plain text…:))
Probably had too many of those mini cheesy-vienna numbers…
Forgot Saul’s DVD :(( In my defense, I plead child-like over-excitement. Phew! Man has the patience of a saint!
Fenced names with a scandanavian, named Bogan, or Rogan, or Boda (sorry, Bergen :))
Sat amazed at Walther, holding forth with shocking clarity, at almost midnight!!
And soaked up some serious motivation for making the big decision! :))
Merci, Madame. Merci, mes amis… I am indebted…:))
Thanks girl – it was so much fun – great meeting the Jozi guys. See you in two weeks time.
WAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Yeah, pity we didn’t get to chat that much but we’re having another tweetup (I HATE that word!) round about the 27th, so we’ll hopefully get to catch up then 😀
Hey.
That was a blast.
It was like a blind-date…but like a group version….
and without the violence and the awkwardness that comes when you realise your date actually thought you were taller so you leave under the pretext of a suffering from a sudden attack of gout that you explain away as an old war wound although the only war you’ve ever seen is the one that rages in your shoes as fungus threatens to claim your toes and you get home and pour yourself a stiff drink or 7 forgetting that you are on flu medication resulting in you hugging the toilet for dear life until 3 in the morning when you finally summon the strength to stumble to your bed sobbing all the way where you pass out after screaming at the heavens “DEAR GOD. WHEN IS IT MY TIME? TELL ME. WHEN IS IT MY TIME?”
So yeah, I had an awesome time. thanks for organising it.
Sorry we didn’t get to chat much.
Maybe at the next one?
Ciao

@Chris … I’ll have to pick your brain again for a venue!

It was good fun and I look forward to the next one 🙂
