Breakfast with Jeff Pulver and friends.
What the hell is wrong with me, do I have no discipline? Evidently not. Hence, this blog post is a week later than I would have liked to have posted it. But there my negativity will end, because meeting Jeff Pulver last week was a real treat. Positivity from this point forward :)
So, last week Mr Pulver hosted his first ever breakfast in London taaaahn. Around 50 people descended on the ICA to meet the man himself and, of course, to network with each other. I’ve been an avid follower of Jeff on Twitter (@JeffPulver), we’ve chatted on Facebook and we nearly met a couple of times in Israel, but the timing was always a little skew-whiff. But although we’ve conversed a lot on t’internet, I had never met Jeff ‘IRL’ until last week.
As with all of Jeff’s breakfasts, the guests were greeted with pens and stickers and encouraged to write their own personal tagline on their name badge and to keep another sticker blank for the other guests to ‘tag’ them. Now we’re all used to tagging our content online, but to tag each other…in real time? That’s nifty.
I’ve kept my tag cloud and stuck it in the back of my diary as it’s a nice little reminder of the event. Some of the people tagging me where complete strangers, others people I’ve spent a lot of time with.
Don’t worry, I know I’m crap at taking pictures (maybe I should upgrade from the camera on my mobile?!) so I have done the honourable thing and typed out my tags…
- Social Medium
- Girl
- Lush (from @PhilCampbell, who is rather luscious himself)
- Trusty Person
- I am content
- Twit Chick
- Star on 12Seconds.TV
- Followed by many
- Muse (awwww, thanks Jeff!)
- Touch texts
- Listen (i.e don’t just look, from the lovely @loudmouthman)
-
Look up (i.e away from my booby area, again the always cheeky @loudmouthman)
- I like your glasses
- Likes chocolate
- Tuc Tuc
- Shower Periods (that one was the charming @PaulWalsh, see previous post for context!)
I liked tagging others and I liked being tagged, it was a great way to network. If you ever get a chance to go to one of Jeff’s breakfast, then go dammit!
I was also lucky enough to have dinner one on one with Jeff that evening, many wise words were shared…but now I’m just showing off.
