The third Sydney Grogblogging event is to be held once again at the City RSL (565 George St) from 7.30pm on Saturday January 28th. Tell your friends, you've probably got more readers than me! I'll have a banner ready shortly for you to use on your site.<br />What is Grogblogging? It's a chance for bloggers and their readers to come out from behind the pale blue glow of their computer screens and meet each other in person. The name's a bit misleading, as neither grog nor blogging are required in this social situation. (Though <a href="http://glenfuller.blogspot.com/2005/05/grogblogging-2.html">some</a> have <a href="http://thebedandbreakfastman.blogs.com/the_bed_and_breakfast_man/2005/05/grogblogging_ii.html">blogged</a> the <a href="http://www.ausculture.com/archives/000905.html">aftermath</a> of <a href="http://hechoenmexico.blogspot.com/2004/11/sojourn-in-sydney.html">previous meetings</a>.)<br />Everyone's welcome, whatever you blog about, and from whatever perspective. Yes right-wing death beasts, this means YOU TOO. For one night only, we're all just a bunch of geeks telling war stories. And as this event falls two nights after the <a href="http://www.collectiveapathy.com/Bernies">Australian Blog Awards</a> are announced, we may even be able to rustle up some kind of awards ceremony for any attending winners (to be confirmed).<br />Tips for the night:<br />It's an RSL. That means trousers for the guys<br />Try not to get TOO drunk in front of the cameras. Those pics go up on the internets, you know<br />Do not speak in l33t. Above all, never say "LOL" or "ROFL" in response to a joke<br />Interstate visitors must respect the one-shot penalty rule when playing pool<br />Using the words "right/left-wing media hegemony" incurs a half-glass drinking penalty<br />No flaming sambuccas before 10pm (see tip #2)<br />Coming along? Leave a comment. See you there!</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12232179-113628690185134185?l=sydneyblogmeetup.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Glen Fullerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03301193661427543471noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12232179.post-1135907773876049992005-12-30T12:55:00.000+11:002005-12-30T12:56:13.890+11:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4712/474/1600/meetup100-beer.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4712/474/400/meetup100-beer.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Next Tuesday 3rd Jan<br />Coopers Arms Newtown<br />6 ish onwards <br /><br />Post New Year chill out! <span class="hide"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12232179-113590777387604999?l=sydneyblogmeetup.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amandanoreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12232179.post-1134008588542389672005-12-08T13:21:00.000+11:002005-12-08T13:23:08.553+11:00Next meetup is scheduled for January 3rd.
