savile row and sarah blow

From Podtech’s “The Sco­ble Show”:

What hap­pens when we get a bunch of geeks get together on a Fri­day after­noon in Lon­don? The “Pis­sed as Newts” tour! Here’s a small part of the tour (we visi­ted five pubs). You get to watch Hugh Mac­Leod draw one of his famous little dra­wings on the backs of busi­ness cards for his blog at www.gapingvoid.com. In the back­ground are about 20 Lon­don geeks. The rest of the tour? It was off the record. :-)
In the second half of the video, we speak with Hugh during a Lon­don taxi ride — you’ll also meet soft­ware deve­lo­per Sarah Blow, foun­der of Girl Geek Din­ners — where we have a fun conversation.

Thanks, Sco­ble. It was a fun after­noon. And I thought you did a great job of fil­ming it all.
It was kinda cool, sho­wing Savile Row to all these geeks.
[BONUS VIDEO:] Mar­yam Sco­ble inter­views Sarah Blow about how the Girl Geek Din­ners came about.
