Thank you tickle dude for stealing my thunder. The actual conversation that took place was pleasantly dull. Obviously with these things there was some awkwardness from everyone, particularly to begin with, but overall I'd call it a success. Everyone was very friendly, some quieter than others, we all learned some interesting new applications of cat food and should be meeting up again in the next couple of months.
I have to apologize for abruptly getting up to go at the end, especially since everyone had finally gotten comfortable enough to talk about "you know what". I felt like I brought the gathering to a premature end.
It'd be good to hear from everyone else about how they thought it went. I, however, must now have dinner and rest off this headache.
Thank you all very very much for turning up. It was great meeting you all. 🙂
