My sources tell me it was an interesting day and night yesterday in the London web community with the much hyped moo party and the afternoon Internet Mixer.
It all began at the roof garden of Coq D'Argent in the city. But as the organisers had 'coq-ed' up the arrangements with the venue, it was moved to the East Room in Shoreditch. Nevertheless, most people found their way to the private Tabernacle Street club. and had plenty to drink on the hottest day of the year so far.
As usual Paul Birch was dressed for the occasion. Included amongst the bunch were the hosts Robert Loch and Paul Carr (surprisingly sober), and special guest star Michelle Dewberry. From the East Room it was a short journey to Brick Lane and the moo.com party.
What can I say about the evening that you can't say better? So here's a transcript of various tweets through the night.
