Blog Awards Retrospective

Irish Blog Awards nametag

Northern Ireland left shafted once more (edit: not strictly true), but it was a fantastic (read: nerdtastic) weekend away spent predominantly in the company of other blog-types. Special thanks to Aoife, Niall, Shauneen, John, Elly, Clare, Keith, Ryan and Ken for making us feel so welcome and tolerating our exotic accents.

I have photos from our wandering around Saturday morning, the official Photography meetup and a couple from the awards themselves - all edited, described, tagged and grouped on Flickr.

Oh, and you can see the full list of winners too, if you’re interested.

Nice to meet you last night, Andy! Hope the head isn’t too bad today… rough enough getting back to Kilkenny.

Not at all - Best Personal Blog Award is heading back to Co. Antrim with Grannymar - that’s at least some result for NI!

And you mustn’t have listened to my accent… I’m from NI originally, only moved down here 5 years ago.

Photowalk was great fun, my pics are up here: http://justus.smugmug.com/gallery/4439131_8H3Es#260890554

Tsk.

Must. Try. Harder.

(god knows how may times I saw that written on my schoolwork!)

@ken Shame we didn’t get talking longer - we’ll be up and down plenty more before the next awards!

@elly Awesome pics, it was great to meet everyone. Didn’t know Grannymar was from up here, need to start reading more Irish blogs before next year so I can understand all the in-jokes and references!

@kat Wasn’t worried about winning anyhow :) Great weekend all the same!

@mj Realistically, goodonpaper will go under multiple revisions before next year …

You have won a place in my heart…

…forever…
