Pics from Bay Area Digg Meet-Up 1-15-10

by on January 17, 2010 in Digg, Environment, Fun Stuff, Social Media

I never thought I would actually have the chance to meet the great digger Tal Siach. He’s Israeli, and since he’s on the other side of the Earth, that means I’m never going to get to meet him right? Not so. He visited the States over the last week for the Consumer Electronics show in Vegas. Then he went to Southern California to visit another friend Jason Lankow briefly. After that, he came up to San Francisco, where he and several other diggers hung out for an impromptu social media meet-up.

We met at Medjool’s, a club in San Francisco’s Mission District. We socialized, shot the shit and hung out on their roof. It was good meeting Tal, who turns out to be one of the nicest guys around. I also hear that his web site Walyou is having a lot of success. I am very happy for him! Much thanks to Sharon, a.k.a. SunGoddess808, for the group picture she took!

Here is Tal Siach in the flesh people. Yes he really DOES exist.

Two nice diggers. Cas Ruffin is a new-ish Digger on the scene, and Tal is an old man.

This is the first time that Jerry James Stone, the environmental Digger, and really-long-timer Jason Lankow, a.k.a Jaybol had ever met. Digger JMRitchie, or Josh Ritchie, was hovering somewhere nearby but for some reason I cant find the pic I took of him.

Tal and Ben had a bit TOO much fun I think at this point in the night.
