5/28/2008 London CreativeCoffee Club - Heights Bar in Saint Georges Hotel

The group was slightly smaller than usual, perhaps it was to do with the rather miserable weather.. or more likely they were probably just busy (as the weather usually is pretty dreary!!)

Conversation was very relaxed, and it is usually, because mostly (if not always) no agendas or topics are pre-decided. So everyone's free to talk about pretty much anything! Which draws me on to mention a few things that arose..

New Zealand films.. ...

CreativeCoffee Club - Leicester

So I quickly checked on-line and was surprised to find so many videos people have made. I searched for the town nearest to where I grew up, and found 5,000 videos (obviously not all of the place, but a lot were) I next searched for the small village I lived it (never thinking there wouldbe anything)...

30th April - CreativeCoffee Club London

 

Within the first hour the group had doubled to 12, and lots of different conversations going on. The topic of music popped up and the difficulty of marketing physical products when you can download music.

The popular social networking working tool twitter and twirl came up again today, and its simplistic interface design is good. Its great usefulness that for instance you can get an opinion from someone on the other side of th...

Some new things I found out today at CreativeCoffee today:

CreativeCoffee Club - London 16th April

CreativeCoffee Club - The people who come along are interesting, highly intelligent and genuinely nice and funny people. I sit absorbing as much information as I can of what everyone says, a bit of it goes over my head, some of it I feel I knew already but most is interesting new stuff I know little or nothing of. Meeting at CCC feels a little bit like brain training for me and listening to the conversations of others and engaging with p...

CCC - London - Creativity, Coffee, Conversation and Chocolate Cake!



As it was Toby's Moores birthday on Sunday, to extend the celebrations he generously brought a big chocolate cake! Which went down very well, especially as it was gluten free so everyone could par-take. Ideas and topics discussed in a mass conversation between everyone but most of the time the group divided amongst themselves and chatted in pairs or threes, the dynamic of how the meetings change each time was chatted about, the more the...
