David Emery OnlineBBC Backstage Bash
10 December 2006
Yesterday was the BBC Backstage Xmas Bash and as far as I can tell a good time was had by all.
It made for a nice change at these sort of things that the venue was pretty much spot on – it didn’t get to hot, nobody insisted on turning the DJs up too loud (which always seems to happen, defeating the whole point of being there to talk to people…) and it never got too full. Sure, more free booze would have been nice (always), but we did get cake. Big props as ever go to Ian and all the other organisers – well done folks!
The conversation was diverse and interesting as it always is at these “geek” things, ranging from some more thoughts on personal content publishing, big city IT systems, how to move printing presses and whether the Wii is a good as it looks (short answer: yes). Good to catch up with Matt, Ben, Toby, Steve and Frances amongst many others.
Roll on the next one!
Oh. It seems to be on thursday.
