The LondonSEO Conference Party Strikes Again!
I’m happy to say that this year’s SES London party was a great success with an excellent turn-out. Despite not having the exhibition crowed and being in the middle of nowhere, last night was the largest LondonSEO ever!
A big thank you to everyone who attended the event and a special pat on the back for Danny Sullivan who travelled down from his home near Stonehenge to join us. Apologies came from Matt Cutts and Rory Brown who would have been castrated by their wives if they tried to attend!
New faces this year included Googlers Brian White aka Euro Matt (bloody nice guy), and the ever radiant Vanessa Fox. Just in case Matt reads this, we refused to serve the Googlers soft drinks and forced them to drink beer – honest! 😉
Last but not least, I’m sure that everyone appreciates Party Poker picking up the drinks bill, I’m ashamed to say that we only drank through half our beer budget. Those of you who came to LondonSEO for the first time, we hope to see you again at our future bi-monthly parties.
Now…. here are the incriminating photos:

You caught me smiling? Where 😛
oi Rob, I’m NOT Swedish! NORWEGIAN! We are going to have to ship you of over the pond for a geography lessson. I believe George Bush is better at Geography than you =)
Cracking night, well organised =) Have posted some photos on my blog as well, a great one of you on there!
See you soon.
As I said at the pub, that wasn’t Guinness, that was, er, tap water…we were in the Docklands after all 🙂
Jason: We’re one step closer then last year’s 🙂
Lisa: I think you’re actually wrong, you’re definitely from Sweden. 😉
Brian: As long as Matt hasn’t discovered Google Alerts yet, you should be fine!
I’m glad you all had fun though – it makes the blood, sweat, tears and alcohol poisoning all worth while 😀
Was good to meet and serve some of you on Thursday night – hope to see you again at the next meet, only on the ‘right’ side of the bar!
OK, so when is the next LondonSEO pissu^H^H^H^H^H meeting then?
The post-SES event was loads of fun, and I even won something in the raffle!
