Hugh MacLeod of Gapingvoid.com will be in town this week and we’ll be going to dinner. The details are to be determined, but the dinner will be held on Thursday, March 13th, 2007 at 8pm. We know it’s very short notice, but we only confirmed this today. Please sign up at this post on the Scrapblog blog so we can get a headcount and plan accordingly.

Most readers of this blog would know Gapingvoid, but if you don’t, here’s a quick bio of Hugh MacLeod. Besides “cartoons drawn on the back of business cards”, Hugh’s main gig is Marketing Strategist for Stormhoek, a small South African vineyard, whose Web 2.0 approach to wine making is currently getting a lot of international attention in the wine trade. Hugh also does the marketing for a bespoke Savile Row tailoring firm, English Cut with Thomas Mahon, arguably one of the best half-dozen tailors in the world. Stormhoek and English Cut have all to do with what Hugh calls “The Global Microbrand”. He was named one of the top 50 marketers of 2006 by AdAge.

There may even be some some Gapingvoid and Stormhoek goodies to give out. And again, we apologize for the very short notice and hope you can make it.
