Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of meeting up with a bunch of fellow geeks and web peeps over in Bristol as part of Ryan Carsons Future of Web Applications Roadtrip.
It was a bit of a crazy evening, with me stuck in Cardiff for the best part of two hours prior to leaving. This was due to a “large fire” in Newport which was smoking out the rail line so the fire brigade shut everything down. Luckily, at about 6.30pm the line opened up again and I made it over to Bristol. I’d met up with Evan Rudowski and Jo(?) of SubHub prior at Cardiff station and therefore headed over with them.
It was a good evening, with me able to catch up with Jon and Jon of the Grow Collective (with whom I shall hopefully be working with very soon, but more on that later). I don’t think I ever used the free drink I was entitled too with my lovely check sticker Ryan graced me with. A similar event is happening in Cardiff on 10th September over in the bay, if you’re a web type in wales you’d probably do well to check it out.
Update: there’s more info on the event on Future of Web Apps blog. I even made it into a couple of photos, albeit adorning a rucksack. The fire in Newport completely destroyed a row of houses. I guess I didn’t have it that bad…
Ian – great to chat with you mate
We had a great night, thanks for coming – it was great to see so many new faces! Hope you’re able to make it to the Cardiff one too…
I will be there for sure! As far as I am aware, its really the first event for web types in the area.
I forgot to mention in my post I missed my 1 month wedding anniversary for Bristol…..am I a bad person?
Looking forward to the Cardiff event, especially as it’s literally 2 minutes walk from SubHub’s office as Saint Line House. Good work!

Good to catch a quick beer, mate. See you at Geek Together!
Wow I’m a superhero now!? Sweet.
Did I mention the costume?
