The 27Dinner You-niverse
The 27 was good. The 27 Dinner was as good as everyone said it was and as bad as everyone said it could be. You’re a geek, marketer, trend watcher, kak talker, awesome speaker, poser, amphibian, fantastic musician, undecided, drop-dead-gorgeous, in it for the free beverages, web hippy, CEO, looking for the next big thing to make yourself more money, entrepreneur, love what you do and are passionate about your chosen career path, want to date a business, blogger, farmer, photographer… you are you and you were at the 27GeekDinner.
Within the galaxies that make up the blogging universe, the South African Galaxy made up of many solar systems comprising of the elements mentioned above.
Becuase you’re a big planet in your solar system does not make you a big planet in other solar systems, the orbital patterns differ and some other big scientific words that i slept through in high school due to too much callmore time spent dialed-up all night for R7. Remeber those days?
Back to reality, oh there goes gravity….The Geek Shall inherit the earth. What makes a geek? I believe its not what you do, not what you score on an outdated geek test or by calling yourself geek. Why? /me thinks geeks do not set out to be geeks, you cannot follow a step by step guide on how to be a geek. You know if you are or are not a geek, usually you’re the last person to realise that you are a geek.
This moment of self-realisation usually happens when you least expect it, welcome to the new world.
27Dinner Rocks shot to the many minds that made it happen. That business card cd does not work on my and a whole table full of attendees pcs/notebooks running our Operating System of Choice. You wasted your clients money gave us all new coasters for our mugs of coffee, thanks..
