postscript on gapingvoid salon #2

3 Comments

We had a lovely time at our second gaping­void salon the other day. Thanks to Every­body for coming.

Thanks to the Inter­net, you can quite easily talk to thou­sands of peo­ple a day.

But as anyone who has spent far too much time on the Inter­net will know, there’s no subs­ti­tu­tion for face-to-face.

So I sent word out on the news­let­ter, Hey, there’s a party at gaping­void Cen­tral on Fri­day. Down­town Miami, near the Miami Heat Arena. Why don’t y’all come along?

And so peo­ple came along. Some I knew well, some I hadn’t met before. We had wine, we had food, it was good times all round.

And peo­ple just tal­ked and hung out. I gave a little two-minute speech (the photo is peo­ple watching me give it), but mostly is was just abut peo­ple mee­ting up.

Like-minded peo­ple.

All loo­king for the same things as me. Ideas. Pur­pose. Con­ver­sa­tion. That kinda thing.

Thanks to blog­ging, I know a lot of peo­ple. A TON. So why not get them to meet each other? Why not hang out all together?

And so that is what we did. Exactly.

We’ll be having another one soon. I hope y’all can make it this time…

   Is it just me, or is there a lot of chicks there?

   Hugh,

   I heard it was a “salon” and came expec­ting to get a hair­cut. For­tu­na­tely, the con­ver­sa­tion was far more enjo­ya­ble than any groo­ming would have been! Thanks to you and Jason… loo­king for­ward to the next episode…

   Best,
   Sass
