Photo-meet at Irish Blog Awards
IT IS getting closer and closer to the third annual Irish Blog Awards and Mr Mulley has another great brain wave for events over the Irish Blog Awards, a photo-meet. It is about time we organised something like this around the weekend of March 1st.
After all there have been events for techies, pre-award cocktails so considering the amount of cameras and photobloggers present at the awards, maybe they would be interested in a photo-meet the afternoon before the awards.
We can finalise where, when and what closer to the time, but a show of hands would be great; let me know in the comments if you are interested. I’ll also put a thread up on a number of Flickr groups about it to try and interest some of the Flickr people who may not be aware of the Irish Blog Awards and create an event on Facebook.
So whatdayathink?

Hi, I think it is a great idea!
I would like to attend such a meeting.
Is there any Awards ceremony taking place?
Hi Dublx, okay thats one person interested.
There is an awards ceremony that night, so the idea would be to grab a load of newbies and get them to come along to the awards that night.
Nominations for the Irish Blog Awards close on 18th January. The Awards Ceremony is set for Sat 1st March at the Alexander Hotel, Merrion Square, Dublin
if I'm still in Dublin at that date then I'd definitely be up for a meet.
Ooooh, yes I'd definitely be interested...but now I'm torn between the this and the ladies meet-up in the Market Bar that day too.
Claire, the Market Bar gig isn't until 4PM, at which point (I'm guessing here) you'd have dimming light anyway, so maybe Redmum would be organising a photo tour (which is a great idea!) for earlier.
Then you can both come to the Market Bar! Would love to meet up with you both.
Cool idea Red count me in.
Excellent this is all sounding great.
@Claire I would imagine it would be earlier rather than later.
I'd initially think about 12.
Has anyone thoughts on where we go? I'll have a look and see if theres anything happening that day (other than the blog awards of course).
Is "photo-Meet" code for a midday drinking session, or should we actually bring cameras ?
Either way - sounds like a good idea.
BR,
John
Interested here too, depending on what the details of the event are.
Sounds interesting, but cant commit to attending yet. If I can I will.
I'd be on too. Cameras, drinks, whatever. Am on Flickr as 73man but also into this cos I am about to buy a new Canon 400D.

I'll be there if I can get the day off work, which I probably can.
Looking forward to it!
If I can make it to Dublin early I should be able to drag along a Kilkenny photographer or two as well. Sounds like a good plan.
Used to do meetups in Dublin / Cork with the DeviantART crowd, always a good laugh.
Red, I am on for it too

Love the idea!!! Was gutted when i missed the first dSLR User meet-up in Dublin, and wouldn't you know it, it was featured in the magazine the next month... stupid flu.
So now i'm vowing to never miss another opportunity... :)
