A rare face-to-face with a fellow blogger (actually, bloggers) occurred today. Karsh is taking his vacation in the Big Apple and we met up around Columbus Circle for a few hours, enabling us both to attach a live body to the weblogs weve been reading (he actually designed mine, so weve at least spoken by phone).
A pleasant enough visit, we didnt do much except wander around the area and window shop in the posh, upscale (read: grossly overpriced) shops of the spanking new Time Warner Center.
We also had the pleasure of meeting and seeing (again) Rocka and Lynne, who were both out enjoying the unseasonably balmy weather. My first time meeting Rocka, a recent transplant to the city, and second time in the company of Lynne; Karsh met them both for the first time.
In his remaining days in town, he hopes to meet some of the other New York folks (hint, hint).
Who knew that offline, real time meetings could be so interesting. Totally different experience from blogging, emailing and IMing. More people ought to try it. It might even catch on.
