Bret from Not The West sums up our Perth Blog Nite plans from the Perth Weblogger Meetup.

We’re working up to a blog nite on Wednesday October 27 in the city at a venue to be decided. This will include blog related talks (got something to say about blogs?) and a review of Perth blogs on a big screen.

We will issue press releases beforehand to writer groups, graphic artists, contemporary art groups and journalists. Anyone else you can think of who should know?

The nite will include preliminary plans for a conference of bloggers in Perth to be held in 2005. If you’re interested to attend either the blog nite or the conference, make sure you come to the next meetup or drop us a note on this message board.

I’ve given up on using the trial of PulpFiction. It runs like a three legged donkey in a greyhound race. I’d be comfortable if the speed issue related to retrieving feeds, but it’s all in the user interface, and much too annoying. I’ll wait for a future release and try it again.

Last night was the third Perth Weblogger Meetup. We changed the venue to the heart of the city, down a flight of steps and into a small pub with crispy carpet and a typical english feel.

Attendees were Bret, Mark, David (with photo), Ben, Roni, Liam and Anthony. A record number.

Amongst the beer, chips and wedges the flow of discussion wildly fluctuated from the time travel tail of John Titor, iPods, Duff & Rove (where is Duff now?), the Australian population, or lack thereof, and wickedly large black boots.

Reading everyone else’s blogs about the event seems to confirm that everyone enjoyed it. It’s a great bunch and each time we add to the fold with equally as easy going people. Any other Perth bloggers who haven’t been, the next one is only a month away. It’ll be great to add a few more (read as world domination).
