Loren Feldman Coming to mesh

By mesh news

It took some serious negotiating but we managed to convince Loren Feldman, one of the Web’s leading, most outspoken and funniest video bloggers, to be a panelist at mesh. He list of demands included the following:

Chilled Grey Goose backstage at all times.
KFC big buckets, white meat only.
A bowl of M&M’s on the panel table with all the green ones removed.
I would like to keep the bathrobe from the hotel.

We got him to back away from everything except the KFC but added a box full of Timbits so he’s a happy man…and so are we!

Come on out tonight and mesh

By mesh news

Spring seem to have hit Toronto with a bang, and that can only mean one thing: mesh is coming soon 🙂 And that means it must be time for the next mesh social event, which is on tonight at the Charlotte Room on King Street just east of Spadina. Come on out for some cold beverages, warm food and conversation, maybe a little nine-ball or Boston on the pool tables, and some all-around meshing.

We’re planning to get started at about 6 p.m. and keep it going until they make us go home, so be sure to drop by and join us. All the details and some of the attendees can be found at the Upcoming page.

Anyone who came to the last mesh meet-up at the Irish Embassy knows that it was a blast, with about 100 people showing up on a rainy November night, complete with guest appearances by Darren “Problogger” Rowse, all the way from Australia, as well as the guys from ConceptShare (all the way from Sudbury), and many of the usual suspects as well. Leesa Barnes did a great job conducting a bunch of podcast interviews with folks such as Dr. Tony Hung and Bernie Aho, and we’re hoping she’s going to do some more this time.
