Oh son of a bitch I just got called in to help out with something and looks like I will be absent. 

Enjoy folks :-(

Thank you everyone who attended the event and made it happen!

Thanks to Snap for hosting the meetup in their new offices and sponsor the food and drinks. We had a great time - I didn't get back to the hotel until almost 2am. The evening slowed down from about 10pm but about 15 of use stayed around the big table, plugged a laptop to one of the big screens and discussed all things related to service providers and other topics (er, not to be talked here). It was great that we had people from Snap, Spark, Vodafone, MyFullFlavour and they could exchange ideas during this crazy brainstorm.

PeterReader was very happy sitting with Snap's awards too...

Thanks for coming down and thanks to Snap for hosting us - sounds like I should have stuck around a bit longer!

Thanks for a great evening. Flattered that you mentioned the evening slowed down at 10pm as that was exactly when I left. Yes, it IS all about me.... :-)
Seriously, it was good to put faces to some of the online characters here, and it's appreciated that some travelled from around the country to be here.
Thanks also to Snap for hosting the event.

<- don't ask me where I am - I haven't a clue: its a tech thing ;)
Housewife computerer: not particularly great at either. 
And don't take me too seriously.
