February Jordan Planet Meeting at Wild Jordan!

Tonight was my second JP meeting and my first time at Wild Jordan; both events were full of excitement and joy.

I arrived there a bit before 6:30 to find Nasim, Abdul Aziz and Ibrahim there, and then the others started arriving. We had a special seating area on the second floor, but the only setback if I may call it so, is that we were told by the waiter that in order to enjoy the second floor, there is a minimum charge of JD 5.00 per person, which is totally fine if only we were not sort of forced into it.

The topics discussed this time varied a lot, but they were all focused on the meetings and how they will be arranged for the next times. A suggestion was made to hold the meetings in conference rooms rather than restaurants, or hold meetings on a larger scale to include readers as well as bloggers; both are still in debate.

This meeting was different than the one in December; new faces were introduced in the group and recurring familiar ones. A new face was of our fellow Kuwaiti blogger Abdul Aziz who is known as Exzombie to some of the bloggers in JP. Abdul Aziz is a vibrant active individual and I have enjoyed his company in this meeting a lot; he was among the first to show up and among the last to leave and we have insisted that he attends all the next meetings as well. He is leaving tomorrow for Kuwait to spend his vacation; I wish him a great time and am looking forward for his return to his second home; Jordan.

Some of us took pictures of the evening and I leave you with mine … I wish that all JP members were there, but maybe next time!!!


There was some discussion going on, but really; nice smile Ala'a :)

Thank you Khalida for taking the time to brief us on February JP meeting, and thank you for the nice pictures too-- although I don't know anyone in the pictures. It is a nice way of staying in touch with JP people living at home and abroad . Please keep them coming.

Hatem, it is not that different when you are physically there .. because we did not know each other .. and we did not have the time to share discussions with every one .. but it was vibrant and nice .. all in all

Hala, inshallah next time you will be in it :)

Kinzi, you should really come .. and by the way; your name came up when we were discussing the potential of including readers in the meetings, everyone agreed that you are on top of the list because you are very nice and such a devoted reader and hopefully soon a blogger :D

Abdelstar, we would love to see you with us in those meetings :D
