Had ourselves a right good GeekUp

Dom and Heather invited us along to this month's GeekUp after we bumped into them at Fantasia, Kirkstall Abbey last week. This is our first GeekUp but we've heard great things and it was a good chance to meet up with a few familiar faces, and meet a few new ones too, like Ashley Moran from PatchSpace Ltd. Ashleys a friendly guy who runs a Software Development and Consultancy business in Stoke-on-Trent.

We caught up with Sam Foster again too who was sipping on a pint and Deb Bassett from Urbanwide, who recommended taking a look at a website called 'Folksy.' It's a really cool site actually which matches up designers and crafters with you the art lover, take a look :) We also managed to chat with Mark Earnshaw properly, after we missed the last few GeekUps. Marks been asking if we'll be coming along to one of these GeekUps for a while now, so it's about time we did. We'll be sure to go along to the next one though, so see y'all there!

Fantasia @ Kirkstall Abbey

Okay, so Mickey mouse and his army of broomsticks were nowhere to be seen, but we still had a great night out despite that. One of the event's sponsors, Carte D'Or, were dishing out free tubs of scrummy icecream and we even scooped ourselves up a free 'Proms Classics' CD. The highlight of the evening had to be bumping into Dom (The Hodge) and Heather on our way towards the exit. Thinking the night was all over after being spellbound for over an hour and watching a truckload of fireworks ignite, Dom kindly pointed out that it was only the interval and invited us back to sit down and watch the remaining festivities. A good job we did too as the rest of the show was spectacular. Cheers Dom :D
