I’ve almost recovered from the Blog Awards party. What a night! Full house and the run of the Cork International Airport hotel for the duration. None of it would have been possible without Mulley’s hard work in arranging it all. He did a terrific job. Congratulations to all the winners too!

Lots happened that I can remember and some parts are coming back slowly as the pain in my head subsides. I did manage to meet everyone on my like to meet list though and of course I met lots more people who I’m looking forward to meeting again. Despite having a camera with me for most of the night I didn’t take many pictures.

There were a couple of funny incidents that happened over the night. I’m going to have to write about them tomorrow I think because I can just about barely focus on my screen. Bock will probably write about one of them. It was something that could probably only happen here in Ireland!

Anyway here are some (bad!) photos to look at. I’m heading back to bed!

“Name 5 bloggers you haven’t met in the flesh before that you’d like to say hi to at the Blog Awards, say why if you want, link to them. They then, in turn, link to 5 bloggers they’d like to meet and so on.”

I thought it would be easy but sitting here with my thinking cap on it seems impossible as there are plenty of people I am looking forward to meeting there. But alas I have to pick five. Indeed two have chosen myself so naturally I want to reciprocate. So in no order I’m looking forward to meeting:

Will – Because as he wrote on his blog “He used to live near me and I never met him all that time. It tuns out our interests and situations were also similar (even started back in (different) college on the same date).”

Grandad – Because he Bock owes me beer!

Grannymar – Because I hear that she doesn’t have enough toyboys in her entourage yet.

Donncha – Provided he will be there of course. Employee of WordPress and reponsible for some fantastic photography.

And last but not least

K8 – One of the wittiest people who’s musings I have read and also responsible for probably the most poignant and striking post I have ever read or am likely to.

So in additon to the above I’m looking forward to night. I have my hotel room sorted or at least I think I have. (Mental note to self: drop mail to Bernie) So there will be much merriment as I won’t have to drive home. Yay!
