When two tribes go to war?
James over at Yer Mam! has accidentally organised a Manchester blogmeet. It begins at 3pm in the delightful Hare & Hound pub in Shudehill (that’s the edge of the Northern Quarter, for those with blank expressions) on Saturday 7 April.
These things always become fun some time after you’ve finished trading inquisitive glances, trying to work out who people are, and the beer usually sorts the bloggers out from the, er, non-bloggers. Something like that anyway. If you’re not away for the weekend do go along.
But, what’s this, at 3pm on Saturday 7 April there’s a rival geek-meet? Manchester’s Flickr users, you say? Congregating in Piccadilly Gardens and almost certainly heading for pubs in the Northern Quarter?
What happens if the two groups collide? Will there be a horrible mash of broken cameras, laptops and pint glasses? Watch this space from Saturday afternoon to find out.

Oh my… I think I’m with the bloggers on this one. But if the good weather persists, it may tempt me out in the sun with the Flickr lot.
Who says they can’t both collectively work. Flickr photosgraphers go out in force and snap away, and then go to the SAME PUP as the blog meet. It’ll be like a meeting of minds.

Shame so many things in Manchester have to happen in pubs :-/

Ah but pubs are our last bastian of hope. Restaurants are too stuffy and bars to immature. Not all pubs mind, but the recent return of some to times gone by can only be a good thing.
