DRINKS AT 45 WEST
After 2 months I finally bit the bullet and attended my first ever meetup. Headed into Leicester to a upmarket looking bar called 45 west . Within 10 minutes of arriving I was recognized by the organizer Ben and was soon joined by everyone else. It was his first meetup with the group he has just created so most of the dozen people were complete strangers. We all seemed to get on well as it was as good a start as I could have hoped for. After a couple of hours we moved onto the next pub Brewdog which I had been in once before. By this point drinks and conversation were flowing well and I had this "why didn't I do this years ago feeling". Finally we headed to Firebug , a bit more of a rough and ready type pub so we did a fairly good variety in just a few hours. By this point time was ticking down and some were calling it a night so I got the last bus and headed home.
