Friday night was the Vancouver International Bloggers Drinking Convention. Though I wasn't able to make it early enough, a small group met up at Steamworks for a little pre-Blogstock fun, and then it was on to The Railway Club for more drinks and conversation, which is where I joined the party.
I've been blogging for a few years now, and through this forum, I have been fortunate to meet some amazing folks. Many of us met for the first time back in 2005 when we had a Blogger Meet Up before one of Matthew Good's shows at The Commodore Ballroom. Friday night was filled with familiar faces and some new ones as well. The Godfather of Blogging himself, Tony Pierce was in town from LA, plus party organizer Smelly Danielly and Chad Ciavarro (who was sporting some pretty rad, groundbreaking shades which conveniently fold up into a little ball). New faces were also in attendance (some new blog reads for me) including Jag, Patz, Terra, Foxxy and Nome. Plus those ones who I have read and admired but had not met until this weekend: Duane Storey and Corrina aka Gusgreeper.
It was a lovely, drunken evening-many pitchers consumed, some unfortunate tequila shooters and fantastic company.

i missed out, i was busy blogging - how ironic :-p
Looks like you guys had fun :)
we missed you ladies though...looks like you had fun at steamworks too!:)
If anymore lovely ladies would have attended, I think tony would have overheated and dropped dead.
I would have been ok though.
