Last minute is better than never…<\/p>\nLast minute is better than never…<\/p>\n
Metroblogging is having a meetup today at 5pm at the Hideout<\/a> at 617 Congress (that’s Congress Avenue between 6th and 7th). It’s a theater space and a coffeehouse. They’ve got a SXSW Film screening at 7pm, so we’ll have to be done by then. We may move to another location after that.<\/p>\n I managed to make the AustinBloggers dinner last night and then hit the registration where Andy snapped a photo<\/a> of all those lonely swag bags full of trees whose lives were sacrificed in vain. We stopped by the Break Bread with Brad<\/a> shindig at the Gingerman afterwards. Andy, Ray and I then hooked up at the Buzznet party last night<\/a> and also ran into Nicole from San Francisco Metblog<\/a>. Thanks to Tony<\/a> and Marc<\/a> for the hospitality. For those that haven’t ever met us, here’s a shot of Andy, my wife, and I<\/a> from last night. I took a few photos of my own<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hope to see you out-of-town metbloggers and all you metblog readers there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last minute is better than never… Metroblogging is having a meetup today at 5pm at the Hideout at 617 Congress (that’s Congress Avenue between 6th and 7th).
