My first blogger meet!





Yes, I went for a blogger meet (The Chennai blogger meet on the 8th organised by Indiblogger). Yes, I had fun. No, I didn't give out too many personal details or my credit card numbers to these people who you're only supposed to know online (my dad was super worried that a fate worse than death will befall me because of the blog). Anyway, it was nice to meet people and know that they have normal names too: Lemonade, Captain Jack Sparrow (it seems), Jolly Roger and Trinity.

I had to give a statement to the news channel and as always I froze in front of the camera and can't remember what I said. Well, they didn't air that but they aired a bit of my presentation of my blog. My misspelled name was included in a newspaper write-up and that was that. Oh and I didn't make any new stalkers! yay.

Shilpa, thanks... well, if my "Hobbes" ever makes it that big...

Mahatma, yeah, I just got a copy.. it's so funny to see a simple name being misspelled!

Mazhalai, truly yay for no stalkers!

JR, trust me, I have my share!

Kav, well, maybe I'm losing my touch! :(

Suze, welcome back! famous, indeed! I wish.

Chris, it was fun! oh his name is not Sharky! I am thinking of a much better suited name for him! Will decide on it soon but Sharky?? no way!

Chriz said...

oh yeah! it was sparky last time..

Anju said...

Chris, aiyo, it's not Sparky or Sharky or anything lame like that! And Sparky's is a restaurant! I'm not naming a character after my favourite restaurant!

Renie said...

Ha ha... damn, it's been a while since I saw your drawings! Nice post and thanks for landing up!

Capt. Jack Sparrow said...

Love your comics, always! And how cool, I want to attend a blogger meet someday!

lefty84 said...

A very different kinda review of the event. The cartoon have come up really well.

And you are fan of C & H is it? The shark seems to play the role of Hobbes for you.

Okie Dokie said...

Uncanny resembalance to the girl in Ph.d. comics:). In any case bravo!

Anju said...

Renie, thanks... you know why I landed up!

Jack, look who's talking!

Macadamia, :) Thanks!

Old Sailor, one is never too late to join.. thanks for visiting!

Elessar, thanks :) was that sarcasm about the blogger meet? :p

Durjoy, thanks!

Keeper, thanks for dropping by!

Roshan, thank you!

Bitterscotch, I do contemplate it but am too lazy to do a sketch everyday! :| But will do my best - thanks for the compliment! :)

Emmaenlighted, thank you! :) I didn't think I'd make people actually want to go to a blogger meet!

Lefty84, yes I am a fan of C&H but also of most comics with an animal sidekick. They just add so much! I've been drawing the shark since college so not sure how and why he popped up!

Okie, actually have never heard of the Phd comics but did look it up. I see the resemblance I suppose. Maybe I just have a very phd scholar kind of face :D
