Despite paying an awful lot of money for WiFi, it didn’t work on the night so news escaped out via Twitter, phone and text messages instead. Then one of the organisers was force fed tequila which stopped him from posting. The winners list.

Update: If you want to live blog or connect to the net while at the event, let me know as we’ll have some wifi vouchers for you.

On Saturday we have:
The Ladies Tea Party
Photoblogger meetup
The Business Bloggers meetup
Irish language bloggers meetup

On Sunday:
Sunday Brunch in Ely HQ
Bloggers dinner in Cork

Also, if you are heading back via Carlow on the night, let this chap know.
