So normal service can resume, last week blogging was least of my priorities as the first Irish Web Awards were being held yesterday and Damien Mulley the man above kindly asked if I would be able to help out with the videos for the night. I of course was thrilled to have been asked and jumped at the opportunity.
The only thing was I had to get them all done in a week, which was a good bit of pressure but to be honest thats exactly how I prefer to work. Anyhow got all the work done and went to the event last night and what a great night was had by everyone. Damien once again proved to be an expert in organising the evening, I think this is his 4th big do, and with each one they just keep getting better and better.
My good mate Rick O Shea was, as always, fantastic entertainment as MC and a fair play to all the guys behind the scenes helping Damien out, they helped make the night just flow perfectly. I also got to meet a lot of people I have known for a long time on Twitter but up to last night, had never met. I could go through all the names and give the link love but to be honest this post would just look silly, with the amount of people, but you guys know who you are!
One other thing I was looking forward to doing was Qik’ing the event as much as I could, this I did with some results, but at one stage I was holding my iPhone aloft for 30 minutes streaming like crazy and when I got home today I noticed that only 2 minutes had gone live, this has really annoyed me as I could have been taking more photos instead.
Anyhow many many thanks to Damien for a fantastic night, I will wait and see if he will trust me to do anything for the blog awards after last nights DVD disaster (less said about that the better) but I hope he may keep me in mind to do it!
UPDATE : Alexia has captured lots of video from the night thank god after my qik mess. Peter Donegan has put up a shed load of pictures, and the near DVD disaster is fully explained by the man himself Damien, with a hilarious video, pity I was out having a smoke and missed this on the night!
