TopOf.co.uk update, 27 Dinner- Help.
Happy Friday everyone...
I'll start out by letting you all know that I am in the final stages before being able to unleash my first site in the world wide wilderness. TopOf.co.uk is busy having the final changes made by the developers as we speak, and if they can follow our instructions properly (things get a little lost in translation in India) I'm hoping it will be all done by middle to late next week!
That being said we have also started work on our next two sites:
Tazoo.co.za will be a shopping site for the Saffa market, and we have finished the business plan and are shopping around for quotes from developers.
Yuni.co.uk, is probably our most complex and ambitious project, and is aimed at the UK student segment. Yuni, is still in the planning stages, as we know it's going to cost a fortune to get it done the way we want it. We are considering a staged development process, slowly adding on the new features which will eventually come together to form the final site.
In other news, as you're probably aware I'm looking forward to my trip home (just a tad), and today I realised that my trip will coincide with the 3rd 27 Dinner in Jo'burg. Chuffed! So I'm all 'registered' to go. I do get the feeling though it will be the same vibe as when I go the monthly MiniBar meetings- me on my own desperately looking for people to talk to, and trying my hardest not to look like a loser. I find this rather humourous as a big part of my day job entails networking and I'm pretty damn good at it. In fact anything that revolves around drinking I'm good at.
So I can see it now- I'll arrive early (as always, can't bring myself to be 'fashionably' late), and hit the bar with a vengeance. Once sufficiently lubricated, I'll probably try and hit on a girl which will break the ice and I'll end up having a great evening. So in order to save some poor girl getting the 'Squirrel' treatment I am launching the 'Adopt Grant and save a poor girl from having to get rid of me' campaign. All that is needed is for someone to acknowledge my existence prior to arriving at 27. In other words I'm looking for someone to say, "Hey Grant, I look forward to meeting you at 27."- No Mom, you don't count, and no I don't think it will be cool if you come along to hold my hand while I try make friends!
Man, it's like the first day at school all over again!

If you can't wait until then email me and we can chat further!! looking very forward to meeting you and having a hansa (or castle)!!
Schweet- Score one for the sympathy vote. Thanks Nic, I'm sure after a couple Castles, I'll be providing plenty of material for SA Rocks!
Looking forward to the launch - good luck! We'll be launching our first site in June...so I'll be taking notes to prepare.
I've been behind on checking my subscriptions, so reading down on some of your recent posts: (1) All-american rejects: I highly support it. (2) Garden State - easily in top 5 all-time
