Blogtoberfest ‘08

Saturday saw MJ Klein playing host to Taiwan’s biggest English blogger meeting in Hukou, held at a Thai restaurant. Lots of fun, lots of food and drink and lots of music. It was a great chance for me to meet some new friends too.

First off, a big thanks to MJ (better known as the NH Bushman) for putting it all together. It must have been a lot of work, but I am sure everyone appreciates it. I didn’t take many photos, but will post some of the few I did snap off.

The Bushman/MJ plays guitar while the lead singer of the Fong Band (Thai music) belts it out.  MJ can really play.
MJ plays while Carrie is the singer this time.  Like Michael, she has musical skills.
Baby Alice and mother Joanne, along with baby Chloe and mother Becki.  Andres, I am sorry, I guess I missed your beautiful daughter with my camera.  All three babies were about a year old.
Baby Alice again, mom looks on.  Daddy Neil is nowhere to be seen.
Todd and MJ trade stories.  With Todd, MJ and Carrie’s fiance John there, there was some serious height represented.
Ashish takes aim.  I am sure his photos were better than mine.
Micheal contemplates the next course of delicious Thai food.
MJ presenting Taiwan’s next pop star, Michael Turton.
Andres and his camera.
Mei, of Mei Eats.  In the background are Craig and Selina of Craig Ferguson Images.
Todd and his lovely fiance Cathy.

Thanks once again to MJ for a really good time.  I was happy for the opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

    Hi Darren,
    It was really nice to meet you and your family at Blogtoberfest. Your photos are terrific! I wish I had taken more but I was too busy singing and stuffing my face with all that amazing food. Hope to see you at the next meet-up!
