Random thought - Pub night with Toronto bloggers

Lately i've been finding myself becoming more and more fascinated by the world of the Internet and particularly the blog sphere. I think it is absolutely phenomenal that through the expression of yourself on a blog, you can virtually connect with anyone anywhere with people who share the same interests as yourself and who are interested in what you have to say. Recently on facebook, I joined a group called Greater Toronto Bloggers. The group itself is self explanatory through the name, its a place where Toronto bloggers can connect and read other blogs from the city.

They actually held a pub night tonight at the Victory Cafe, where bloggers could come out and meet the "faces behind the posts" of other Toronto bloggers. The turn out was very decent and ofcourse in gatherings with people who love to share their opinions and thoughts, I met some interesting people, chatting away the evening with wonderful conversations. Henna from Canadian Beauty was there as well (she's also apart the TFBB), I love seeing familiar faces and although this wasn't a fashion bloggers specific gathering, we still had our dose of fashion and beauty related talks =) The Internet has come a long way from "don't put your picture and personal info on there" to "come out and meet the people behind the blogs you read" as if it's absolutely normal to meet your online friends. Maybe it's the words they use now a days that make it more socially acceptable... like "social media" or "blogs and bloggers" and not "cyber space" or "online chat rooms". Either way, it's definitely good to see that the Internet has evolved into such a positive tool for socializing and networking for the "real life". But more importantly it's just really awesome to be able to put faces behind the blogs you read all the time.
