I’m a day late, but in my defence the reason I didn’t write this yesterday was no I don’t need to explain this to you, shush.
Yesterday was the monthly ATUB meet up, where all those epic people who use Twitter and also happen to live in the glorious city that is Adelaide meet up, drink and talk nonsense. I’ve only ever been to one other meet up, all the way back in October/November, but this was by far more fun and just a little exciting.

The meeting was held at The Highway Hotel where we had multiple tables reserved specially for the event. We rocked out the drinking, drawing on every conceivable surface and remarking on how much of a woman I am for jokingly wearing a skirt. I saw the old faces who I’ve talked to since I don’t know when (although as usual Rubenerd didn’t make an appearance. ONE DAY!), plus a fair few new ones. This is where I segue into a shout out to Brenton, Ash, that FlitterbyG person and that KerryJ person. I also finally met both Cypherage and HugePedlar (The antelope are fat this year) who I have to admit, wasn’t as British as I expected, but was still pretty awesome.
After hours of fun at The Highway and most people had left, the last of us went to the Ed Castle (?) for dinner. It wasn’t as nice a place, but with the meals being just ten dollars I wasn’t really going to complain. After dinner, we all talked for a little while, before going our separate ways.
Thank you for the fun times guys, it was nice catching up, and meeting the new people. I’m going to try and be more of a regular to these events, and I do promise to be (slightly) less drunk.
Other places you can read about the Feb ‘10 ATUB:
-
Adelaide Tweeters (I guess you could call this one the “official” post)
There are photos about the place as well:
-
Monnie’s Picasa gallery (From which the above photo was “borrowed”. I’ll return it when I’m done!)
-
Brenton’s Picasa gallery (Not as big as Monnie’s, but I’m in it so it’s instantly awesome)
-
Flitterbyg’s Flickr gallery (I didn’t photobomb any of these ones, but they’re still worth a look :P)
-
Aliyaki’s Facebook gallery (She’s too good for Picasa or Flickr, and everyone in her photos seems abnormally happy)
-
Hugepedlar created a random video from photos taken that day “introducing” everyone who came, which can be checked out here (you could of used a more flattering photo of me man, I mean, come on!)
More will be added as I find them/can finally load them. CURSE YOU CAPTAIN PLANET HITLER CAPPED INTERNET!

‘Remarking on how much of a woman I am for jokingly wearing a skirt.’
We all know you loved wearing that skirt James. Quit denying it and they weren’t remarks, they were facts.
*HUG* DON’T HURT ME.
And what a sexy skirt it was.

You’re both wearing monocles, your arguements are invalid!
Hah well SOME of us work on Sundays! Gosh #whatawhore!
Plus I’m still not entirely sure any of you exist. As far as I know you’re all on a server somewhere.
Well see, I think you’re a sentient dot matrix printer who doesn’t like being forced to print thousands of pages of things.

I had a great time and am really glad I went. I promise to be more outgoing next time – but it took lots of courage for me to just show up! :-)
It was really good to meet you, and you were pretty outgoing. It takes a lot of courage to meet random people, especially when they’re from the internet. I look forward to seeing you there next time Gaelyne :)
I’m adding your gallery to the list :D

I believe wearing a monocle only makes my argument MORE valid.
Obviously you don't understand how a monocle works.
