coffee morning miami
Had a very nice coffee this morning with Jennifer, Andrew, Adam, Kenneth, Johanna, Fernanda (who I know has a blog, but it's in Portugese so I'm not sure which it is, Fernanda - what's your blog?) and Josh. Excellent company.
We discussed many things. The perils of angry blogging. The joys and otherwise of Miami. How the rooms you have conferences in always suck. How good Piers's session was. (Very. Apparently.) What it's like being a planner in small town. How blogging changes the way you look at the world. And sometimes how you behave. Other stuff.
It was fun. What a nice thing to be able to do. Meet a bunch of people you've never met before, but who you kind of know.
Next coffee morning-type session will be Friday afternoon (afternoon tea I guess). 4pm. The Breakfast Club. London.
What a fantastic thing to have done.

You have this incredible way of connecting people, Russell. Josh and I studied psychology in undergraduate together, and I never thought I would see him again! We initially kind of stared at each other sideways a little (during your spaghetti session), not being able to place one another out of context.
I had a wonderful time. Thanks for the coffee!

thankyou Johanna,
But I don't think it's anything special, just suggesting a time and a place.
Paul - I guess I'll plan to be there until about 6ish.
