On my sixth day in Vancouver I decided to be proactive in finding people who have like interests. I didn’t know anyone and this I thought would be the perfect way to cheat and make people know me. You all were schemed in to befriending me! So I jumped on Meetup.com, a social network site for meeting people with similar interests, and found the Vancouver Blogger Meetup. I decided who better to get to know then the people who love writing about a certain aspect of this wonderful city. And I was right.
These are just some of the people I met and some on the list I didn’t get to meet, unfortunately. They were all a wonderful bunch and I really enjoyed chatting with everyone.
Hi Hassan
Good to see you at the Meetup.
Here’s that list of local photography geeks I promised (can’t tell if HTML is allowed here, so here’s a bare bones listing):

That’s a starting point anyway for further network exploration on Twitter and Flickr.
Hey, great pics! So much better than the ones Raul took on his iPhone. lol
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to talk to you at the meetup – welcome to Vancouver and hopefully I’ll see you at another one!
Kudos to you getting out there and being social! Make sure you get to know all the great places to go before I come up there. LOL!
Thanks for the compliment Josh and hopefully I’ll catch you at the next one.
