About: Julia Gilbert
Website: http://www.catnipmusic.co.uk
Profile: I love how new technology can facilitate friendships based not only on geography, but also interests and attitude. I have met loads of interesting people through the Birmingham Bloggers meetings, some of whom I may have met anyway due to shared interests, but technology helps save time sifting through all the dull people ;) My personal obsession has always been new music (and I occasionally DJ) but, largely thanks to the web, I have also become more interested in art, craft, photography and architecture over recent years. I am open minded to new ideas and love new technology. My work has included writing, editing and managing content for web and print; emarketing and SEO. In my free time I play with my cats, go to dance classes, spend time in my garden (I'm currently making a mosaic) and muck about on the web. I want to make time to learn a musical instrument and do more creative/craft type stuff. I don't get chance to blog as often as I'd like, but you can catch my ramblings on twitter.com/catnip and also find me on the usual social media suspects as either catnip or catnipmusic.

The venue is a nice pub by the canal (sort of behind the ICC), friendly and alternative-ish by memory. According to Danny Smith: “flap is nice been refurbed (coat of paint), dead on [...]
Review of May 28th gathering @ Prince of Wales, Moseley
When we came up with the bright idea of having a picnic in Moseley Private Park for the next meeting during the 3-day heatwave of early May, we didn’t foresee being in the middle of a wetwave, so hastily made a backup plan of the Prince of Wales.
As well as myself, the following people also [...]
