Paris bloggers picnic in the news

How amusing that a write up of our picnic made it into the Financial Times this weekend, courtesy of Mimi Pompom, our undercover journalist attendee...

Thank you!

To everyone who came along. We lost count (and were probably also seeing double on account of the Pimms and champagne). The weather was with us, a brass band played an Abba Medley in the bandstand not far away (especially for Rhino) and we think a good time was had by all.

If you write up the picnic on your blog, please insert the link in the comments box below so we can see what you said.

And if you have photos you'd like to share, we've set up a public flickr group here.

As a general rule it is probably best not to name tag any photos as it's hard to keep track of those of us who prefer to remain anonymous...

We'll be in touch by email when we get our act together and organise another picnic...

Picnic T-shirt competition (parental advisory)

Woohoo! It's competition time!

I'm sure you can barely contain yourselves.

Leave your T-shirt slogan suggestions in the comments box below. A few suggestions below from Meg should get the ball rolling.

Best slogan suggestion wins their T-shirt, professionally made by cafépress, or possibly scrawled in permanent markers. We'll see.

PS: do not worry. It is normal that you haven't received any confirmation email whatsoever. It will be sent out tomorrow, so if you don't hear from us, please get back in touch.

Meg's T-shirt ideas:
