Thanks to shaun Allan of Vector 76 for joining me in January at the Pitcher & Piano. Shaun’s company do Virtual World builds, in particular in Second Life. We had a good natter about all things metaversal, but he’s a bit shy because of all the paparazzi attention (see photo & SL likeness at bottom)!
Vector 76 (i.e. Shaun and Celia) have been putting together a virtual mock-up of the main quayside areas along the Tyne, i.e. both Gateshead and Newcastle. They are due to go live any moment – see photos at the bottom of this post.
I’m also including a shameless plug for T.O.F.F.S., whose Toon strip Shaun’s avatar models. 
Another shameless plug is for the Thinking Digital conference, in front of whose banner Shaun’s av is standing…
Future Tuttle NE meetings
I will continue to organising these meet-ups if there is demand, but maybe I need to improve my communication if people are to know about them. I’ve been doing a lot of tweeting, but I think people also respond well to e-mails! Comments below please. 
It makes sense for the February Tuttle NE to be folded into the Tyne Twestival. Details of which are:- 12 February 2009, 1930, The Other Rooms, Times Square, Centre for Life, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4EP. Hope to see you there!
I will be asking people at the Twestival whether they still want to meet up for Tuttle NE drinks each month…
