Web Directions Photo Meme
I've been tagged! The meme is to find photos of yourself from Web Directions... Although I escaped WE05 relatively unsnapped, there are still a few photos of me from that year. WD06 was a different matter. I usually tend to be a bit camera-shy (I'd rather take a photo than be in one), but frankly I had to get over that or I'd have had a meltdown.
As friends gathered the photos started and Amit used me to test stage lighting as a sort of speaker stunt double. The workshops were a bit of a blur, but I can say for sure that I ate muffins and lunch.
At the speaker dinner we made Molly a little worried but thankfully we didn't scare her away. Recursive photos ensued and apparently I nearly ate the man in blue during yum-cha. Then in the lift we proved that at Web Directions, you can't turn around without seeing a camera.
On Day One the Web2.0MFG levels started to pick up, as did the drinks. On day two, my nerves reached their peak and after some magic spells were cast Cheryl and I finally spoke. Then it was all over and we were at the Pump House. Beers, photos and hand gestures were flying and there was even some chimping to be observed. It appears that eventually my brain started glowing and somehow more yum cha was involved.
Last but not least there was a quiet after party and while saying farewell may be sad, people had to go home - all good things come to an end.
...now, I'm supposed to tag three people. However I think it's more fun to say anyone who took or appeared in one of the photos above - particularly if you were drunk - should consider themselves tagged! That includes Andrew K, who's been tagged already but won't get around to it if we don't all hassle him :)

Hehe, good grief you're in a lot of photos!
Besides the fact that I have no intention of posting anything to my abandoned website, the photos of me from WE'05 and WD'06 are some of the most embarrassing ever taken. There's no way I'm linking to those ;)
See you next month mate! Woo!
@Andrew: yeah, it's insane just how many pics there are! I don't know about embarrassing though, I thought the pics of you with boxer shorts on your head were entirely refined and respectable! ;)
It's not even next month any more... this month! Awesome!
Ben, there is something slightly wrong about trawling through all of those photos looking for yourself...
;-)
Three weeks to go. Tick. Tick.
@gavin: thankfully I'm not *quite* that sad - most of it was a tag search, plus photos I'd faved or remembered from when they were originally posted.
well done! That's a lot of photos, heh.
