BBB Meetup-4

So yesterday, we had meetup #4! :) And the usual gang had gathered along with a couple of new faces. We spoke about this and that and books and yes, we ate a lot. (I’m so good at summarizing) But, the real takeaway was the collective knowledge of the books we might not have read that we individually and separately had. And we’ve made a list of those books this time :)

BBB Meetup-1

This was the first Official meetup. Radhika and I had a better understanding of who had RSVP-ed and what time folks would start spilling in etc. We decided to pick Atta Galatta because Radhika had heard a lot of good things. We met with Palgun, the manager at Atta Galatta (a beloved friend and a quintessential BBB member now, but a relative stranger at the time), who didn’t really know what was coming, but accomodated us nonetheless at 3 PM on Apr 16 2017.

BBB Meetup-0

This was the very first unofficial meetup. We didn’t know each other. We didn’t even know who was really coming. All we knew was that there was a books By Weight event happening at Basava Bhavan and that a few folks and I from Broke Bibliophiles Bangalore were going to be there. We bought what we could and wound up having lunch at a restaurant opposite the venue. :)
