I went to my first 27 Dinner last night at Capello’s in Sandton, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.   The theme was a 270 unconference, which meant that people could choose to speak about a topic of ther choice for 270 seconds.  Some were very funny, others absolutely fantastic and most were very interesting!

270 second topics

Chris explaining how his pet project FB2Twitter works

Mike Stopforth

Heidi doing some research on her phone, before her spot explaining Earth Hour

Telana talking about her matchstick project.  I wrote about the project on my other blog last month, and it was so cool to see her in person! She’s got a dinner for 150 people with a DJ at the moment, and she’s looking for offers.

and the rest of the photos are all about Marcel.  He performed magic tricks at each table after the speakers had finished, and it was amazing!

Heidi’s reaction was hilarious! In this shot, she’d just realised that Marcel had her watch in his hand, and she hadn’t realised it was missing.

I’m definitely going to the next one!

There was an awesome tweet up at Exmi’s house last night in honour of Sheena’s visit to Johannesburg. It was an absolute blast and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting more of the local bloggers and twits and I’ve added a few more people to my friend’s list this morning as a result.

I’ve got a “thing” for B&W at the moment, so all the photos have been converted.
