I Am Blogie

It was great to hang out with Matt again after about two years. The first time we met in person was in 2008 for the first WordCamp in the Philippines. When I went to the Automattic offices in San Francisco, he was in Ireland, unfortunately, so it was only this month that I got the chance to see my true American idol. Matt was in Manila for WordCamp Philippines 2010.

I’d just arrived from Europe and, in spite of the rather bad jet lag, went out for drinks with my good friends Christian & Bhambee, Chattee, and Matt.

Thanks, Christian, for the photos!

This is the video greeting from Matt Mullenweg for the participants of WordCamp Philippines 2009. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to attend this year’s WordCamp, so I asked him to send a video greeting instead. Very gracious of Matt to have obliged us with our request!

We hope to see you in 2010, Matt!
