Cochin Tweetup 6 Report

We finally have a place with working WiFi! The place is ‘Somewhere Else Cafe’, Kadavanthara. Yeah, I could have done a joke about the name – but it was too easy. I’ll leave the jokes about the name as a homework for you. Post your jokes – or as a comment here.

The tweetup was great – lots of new faces. I hardly expected anyone to show up as the tweetup was announced with only one day warning. And it was very close to the last tweetup – but a good number of guys showed up.

Photos

Photos are here. Sorry about the ‘red shift’ It the cafe’s decorater’s problem. Sorry about the bad quality photo – some issue with the camera. ABWBHT.

Attendees

And Shyju. He attended two tweetups so far – and still don’t have a Twitter account. Juwal, Anish – get him on Twitter!

Location

Since its not a very well known location, and since many of the future tweetup will be held here, here is a map of the Cafe…

I did not have the exact location – I need a local’s help to get this one right.

Advantages

Free WiFi!
Very little noise – we can hear ourselves talk.
They have WiFi!
It can accommodate a good amount of people – if we pull some chairs.
Did I mention free WiFi?

Disadvantages

Its a bit far away – for the Edpappally guys – especially if you are going by bus.

If you have been to Somewhere Else cafe, please give us your opinion about the place in the comments.

PS: The credit for finding this place goes to KochiVibe. I had to write that or Sidharth will kill me.
