Sunny Thursday - Oh dear, Oh dear
Lovely day out last Thursday with Robert Loch’s ‘internet people’ group. I have no idea how I came to be invited. Normally, my lot is a bit more ‘meeja’, but it was great to get out to meet some entrepreneurs actually ‘doing the do’.
The day started at the Boat, Coq D’argent, the East Rooms on Tabernacle St., where it was great to catch up with reprobates like my old friend Simon Prockter, Robert Loch and new media dilletante Paul Carr, who, it seems, has a new book coming out about the Web 2.0 start-up scene in London over the past couple of years. (review soon). Also great to catch up with the people from Crimson, past and present.

And then off to the Moo Party down at Brick Lane.
And did I learn anything? Mainly, not to mix beer and wine and indiscriminate cocktails (again) but also that there are a host of UK startups on the horizon, which I can’t tell you about. That the London dotcom entrepreneur crew are indefatigable in their desire to create something worthwhile and wonderful, and will not stop until they’ve done it.
And most interestingly, the ones that have done it already are among the hungriest to do it again.
