underscore making transition from virtual to real life
I have been an active member of the underscore mailing list for a fair few years now. it is a discussion list for new media professionals in Bristol and Bath (UK) and surrounding areas. The list has been active since about 1996 and has been an invaluable resource for new media industry people in the area, or with connections in the area. There have been a few meetings in the past but it has dwindled recently to the odd pub meet up. Activity on the list varies from heated arguments, to off topic in-jokery, to helpful advice, to libellous slander, but recently there was a "call to arms" to get things moving on a more elevated level, and this has instigated a fair amount of list activity, and a meeting has now been planned for next week at the Watershed.
