I went to a get together for bloggers in Sydney last night. Writing more about it than I am are Fulmination Dave, Leigh Cartwright, Bourbonbird, an-open-mind, the bed and breakfast man, Misha, Dreadnought and Glen Fuller.

Update: And Philip Gomes, Spleenie, Antony Loewenstein, Ausculture Jess and Darp.
Update 2: OK, Mark, Muffin, mikey, Edward and Agent Fare Evader.

(When I launched the Advent Calendar of Science Stories series back in December, I had a few things in mind, but wasn't sure I'd get through 24 days. In the end, I had more than enough material, and in fact didn't end up using a few of my original ideas. So I'll do a few additional posts, on an…
Good times, Tim! Thanks for the intermittent chats, I have a feeling that was more my fault, since the Peter Andre in me was busting to get out. You can blame Spleenie for that one. Cheers!
SLANDER! :)
Oh, you and your fancy Technorati updatery! Good to meet you the other night.
Always great to see bloggers get together.
I'm just sorry that I missed out!
At least it appears it wasn't the RSL's fault, rather a problem with the venue and its management.
