I’m looking forward to meeting up with my blogging buddies – and a few more – later today at the Adam Smith Institute event “The Impact of the New Media“.

I know this blogger is going to be there, as well as Croydonian, and I shall be able to meet Tim Worstall who is chairing the session, as well as speakers Stephan Shakespeare, founder of YouGov and 18 Doughty Street, and Fraser Nelson, political editor of The Spectator. My blogging mentor Geoff is coming along too. It sounds a very civilised evening, ending with champagne, real ale and canapes – see you when I see you….

Update: 6 March. You can see from my rogue’s gallery some of the people I met last night, and apologies to those not included. I have added Benedict’s pic so you can put a face to his blog. Much of the discussion centrered around the mainstream media v bloggers and our role in undermining the establishment.
