04/11/09 Baaaad blogger (or “Hello from London!”)
Days on the road: 71
Philadelphia, one of the many places I’ve been to recently.
This is the usual first sentence of the post about how I suck at blogging and how it has been ages since I posted anything. Now that I got that over with, let’s see what I have been up to in the last 65 days:
- I stayed in New York for two weeks. Went to some House parties with Lola and had awesome food with Jill.
- Hopped on a train to Montréal to hang out with Cat, Bob and Simon for about a month.
- Attended a couple of PodMtl meetups, despite my inabbility to speak french.
- Travelled to Toronto on VIA1 (first class train – veredict, the service is great, the wifi is a complete joke), attended Podcamp Toronto, stayed in town for an extra couple of days with Steve and Jeanine, and saw the city with Dani and Lily.
- Was around for Bob’s 40th birthday party.
- Caught a bus from Montréal to Philadelphia, and stayed there with Linda for two days.
- Headed back to New York, met my mom’s cousin and then boarded a plane to London, to meet two friends.
- Been in London for 3 weeks so far. Met a bunch of people at the hostel, attended a few Tuttle meetups and registered for Social Media Camp London.
- Got inmensely irritated at the shitty wifi at the hostel, and eventually found a lovely cafe to go work at.
- Got tickets to Morrissey at the Royal Albert Hall in May (about friggin time I saw him live!)
- Something else I’m probably forgetting.
- Posted a lot of photos of everything on my Flickr.
So yeah, I’ve been a bit of a busy bee. And now that I have updated my blog I won’t feel bad if I want to write about other things. Such as, say, my latest obsession:
Aren’t they a beauty?
The Brompton. An extremely light and portable folding bike. Biking is a great way to get around London, and one of these I would even be able to take back with me on a flight. Win win situation, except for the £600+ they cost. The lovely chaps at Velorution let me test one, the bastards. They knew I’d fall in love with it. Now I’ll have to get one. Got a few extra quid I can borrow?
