Strange that.  We set it up for the emphasis to be on socialising.  But

of course as soon as people feel they don't have to network, they do 

(drunkenly, loudly).


But BooB is now attracting non-new media types such as those from the 

music and film and banking industries, who can meet people without 

seeming to be offering commitment - like First Tuesday without the 

money.  Or the speeches.  Or the organisation.


I have closed exactly *zero* deals at BooB - but a lot of people find it 

easy to do so - up to them.


Still refusing the sponsorships though....and I hear there is now a 

spin-off TechNight which is at the same place but on the first Mondays 

of each month where everyone gets high on pills of DBA.  They take the 

sponsorships...
