Saturday night I ventured out of my cave to have dinner with some pretty wonderful people at a pretty amazing place. The people were a collection of bloggers from Brisbane. The place was Garuva.
I planned on getting in about 6:30 to have some mocktails in the bar but at 6:15 I was still in bed cursing the change of season and allergies. My mum came up to look after lufflump and of course I had the address but couldn't physically see the restaurant until I tweeted 'help' and we were on our fourth round trip. It really is hidden. Despite my plans to arrive early, I arrived late. It's a family trait being late.
I still arrived before the food so it wasn't all bad. My first drink was a Virgin Steady Eddie which was lychees in sugar with sugar. In other words delicious and definitely not on Suger's 'to drink' list. My second drink was coke. Big drinker and big spender in one!

The restaurant has individual booths for each table. It's private, dark and romantic. Babies could be and probably are conceived there. Rather than feel romantic to me at the time I just wanted to curl up and go to sleep especially after dinner.

The food was delicious and we all shared the meals. As far as I could tell there was plenty of food. I wasn't very hungry but what I ate was very nice.
The best of the night was the company though. Meeting new bloggers and seeing old faces again is always wonderful. We all come from different walks of life, live different lives yet we all have blogging in common. No questions about what blogging is, no worrying that you are being anti-social tweeting what you are doing, no worries about taking photos of everything. It's comfortable.

I love blog meets.
Have you been to a blog meet before?
I love blog meets too! It's been too long since the last one... Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteBah - so jealous down here in the middle of central west NSW, far away from everything!
ReplyDeleteListing the drinks what drinks you had and the ingredients to said drinks is hardly what one would call a blog.
ReplyDeletePosting photos of what you would like to wear if you were a soccer mom is hardly what one would call a blog.
This is a diary. And not a very entertaining one.
Interesting Anonymous chooses to make those statements without revealing their identity? Why bother?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have never heard of a blog meet, sounds interesting... I am still new to blogging so this was a good topic to learn more things :) x
Oh for crying out loud, big bad "anonymous". Bugger off. Seriously. Who TF are you to say what is or isn't a blog? Would you like to look up the meaning?
