Random thoughts on Irish Blog Awards

Went to Irish Blog Awards on Saturday night. It was a really good night. What struck me as a very newcomer were the following:

The cross generational feel of the event. All age groups were present and really welcome. Blogging isn't the preserve of any age. I loved the mix of ages and how well everyone got on.   

The community feel. Bloggers really belong to a community

What is the opposite to 'rip-off'? Go to the blog awards in Cork and you get a great night's entertainment - very professionally organised, cocktail reception, food before and after the event, beautiful venue and all for €10. Eddie Hobbs is also from Cork, any connection?

The event was fully booked out. The sheer number of people who chose to travel to Cork is testimony to how good an event it is

I have to admire Damien Mulley's vision in creating the awards. He has great leadership qualities.

While sitting at the event felt I must get back to blogging!
