Criticism of Beers & Blogs from the other day

bbasturiaslogoNo sabía si escribir o no sobre el Beers & Blogs del otro día, ya que como organizador del mismo reconozco que mi visión puede estar un poco distorsionada por el trabajo de que supuso dicha organización y también por los nervios de los primeros minutos :P

I think it’s the first time I’ve organized something that goes beyond a basketball game, a dinner or a drink, so I didn’t know if what I was doing was right or not, so I threw myself into the ā€˜trial and error’ method, doing whatever came to mind, like creating social media accounts, the blog, etc.

What I considered the most was sending ā€˜massive’ emails to Asturian bloggers, since the line between ads and spam is very short and I didn’t want to seem like a bore, but there really aren’t too many ways to announce an event like this.

I was quite afraid that the response would not be good and that it would not even be god, but the last few days quite blogs (And even Jasp en BitƔcoras) se they did eco de news and me did quite excited (why are we going to deny it :)). In the end there were almost 30 people who were there, of which 10 later went to dinner (It should have been a little earlier, I think) and a few others continued partying for a while longer.

Among the things that have been left, I think, quite clear is that this type of event you have to go with an open mind to meet people and also that it is almost impossible to make a presentation (since with the noise there is nothing can be heard). I also think that the system of standing and talking back and forth with one another is the ideal, because sitting down we would have fallen asleep and we would only talk to those next to us.

It left a very good taste in my mouth, since I met new people like Jimmy from Pixfans (among others), I finally spoke with Maikelnai, and I think people had a good time.
