Second Ever VideoSift Meet Up
Securedesk and I drove to Montreal for New Year’s this weekend.
In the process we learned that Sega apparently survived the failure of the Genesis system by switching to casino games and that Montreal's stores stay closed on the second of January too. So much for shopping.
More importantly, we met up with Farhad to ring in the new year, and to celebrate the second ever Videosift Meet Up. James did it first, meeting with oohahh and swinginpagan in Portland five months ago.
We were able to accomplish a great deal, including scoring a free Sift endorsement for a beer company, and a celebratory New Year's dinner at Farhad's friend's house.

Thanks again to Farhad and his friends for hosting us - it was a really fun night - and some video was recorded. I look forward to seeing the Cat in the Liquor Bag again one day.
Seeing as how more Meet Ups will occurs in the future, I figured out in the back of my mind what the main guidelines are for this sort of thing to ‘count’:
1. You need at least 3 Sifters,
2. It has to be in a location that is ‘foreign’ to at least one of them.
I only mention that to remove the temptation to call any gathering with three sifters from the same city a Meet Up. I know about twice as many Sifters from Toronto, so that would quickly get scary.

What? You mean your are not really a giant cowboy tooth and a riot cop? My mental picture is completely blown.
Sounds like fun. I hope we see more of these kinds of meet-ups in the future. I'll be in the US sometime this summer- I would like to participate. Also - I'm surprised you are not drinking Canadian.
rickegeeI don't want to make too much of it, but it appears that those bottles of beer are hovering.
At least none of you are emitting a blinding aura. Or wearing your grandmother's favourite sweater.
KrupoDiscerning Canadians don't drink much... Canadian. Just like that whole Aussies and Fosters thing.
Only Farhad's bottle hovered. Something to do with the centrifugal forces on the cat.
michieThey have faces?
maudlinYou were in Montréal and you didn't even try Laurentide or 50? Tsk.
Too bad it wasn't really, properly cold: you could have socked back some Caribou and hovered back to Toronto.
KrupoOh, don't be mistaken, I've sampled just about everything the depanneurs and SAQ's have to offer during my various visits.
Caribou sounds interesting - I think I can make it at home, though.
winkler1So.. didja have wifi? laptops? Or strictly analog.
Farhad2000I only drink import.
And yes, the bottle did hover.
fireflySounds like you guys had fun...and I won't even speculate on who grabbed whose Heiny (!)
