This evening I have had a lovely evening at a small scale gathering (it was my self and Orthodoxy ), as Ian moved on from The Island to Kent, on the latest leg of his tour. It was the sort of evening where it good wine, good food (at my fave restaurant in Canterbury) and good conversation flowed. We did do a spontaneous phone hook up with a certain Never Conforming at one point aswell.
The only question is though what sort of meet was it. It could have been described as a Wibmeet, or a Shipmeet or a couple of friends off Facebook meeting (although the final one is probably pushing it). Whatever it was a really good evening and showed, yet again, that this site and others which Wibsters tend to inhabit really do facilitate the building of some kind of community and friendship which goes beyond, but also incorporates the virtual. The communities may not be particularly intense but they do exist and, I believe, do have some element of substance to them.
