Thurs: St. Albans Blog Meet and Tweet Up
Are you a St. Albans based blogger, twitter user or member of St. Albans People? If so, pop down to the Hare and Hound on Thursday evening (11 March) for the opportunity to have a few drinks with some interesting people.
The last St. Albans bloggers meet-up, which took place last winter (much to our surprise there was several inches of snow on the ground by the time we left!), was a great success. We talked, of course, about our blogs and our motivations for doing them but also shared jokes, learned about each others day jobs, and annoyed one and other with random camera flashes.
It’s totally non-scary – no one else, unless they came to the last meet-up or bring a friend, is going to know anyone so it’s not awkward at all to turn up. Of course, you’ve got to be old enough to get into the pub which, thankfully, we all were.
A participant in the first meet-up, and an all round great guy as far as we can tell, Alex at Shedworking made the timely suggestion that we do it again. Maz on St. Albans People, a new local site where I’ve been posting articles and photos since December, took the initiative and has booked the bar at the Hare and Hound, on Sopwell Lane, from 18.30 on 11 March.

Part blog meet, the evening will also be St. Albans’ first ever “tweet up”, and we’re looking forward to meeting local bloggers, twitter users and members of the St. Albans People community. We’ll be in the bar on the left hand side – come along if you fancy an evening of meeting new and interesting people.

It looks like the renovation to ‘The Glasshouse’ on Victoria Street is nearly complete. Signs in the window indicate that they are recruiting staff and it appears that the revived establishment will be called ‘The Victorian’, i like the sound of it. Does anyone have any news on this place? When is it due to open and what sort of vibe they’re going for?
Hello Robin
Would have liked to have come to the tweetup. Not sure there is a twitter list for St Albans tweeps so have just started one: http://twitter.com/karlwilding/st-albans-tweeps
I live in St Albans, am a trustee of the Centre for Voluntary Services, and I do blog (www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/karlwilding), but about work stuff, not living in SA. Having said, happy to add the odd bit of content if you want
Cheers
Karl
