Awesome to see this video. Currently down in London on an internship before I go back to Newcastle University next year. With the amount of startup events going on down here (highly recommend the HN London meetup if people haven't been) I was pretty apprehensive about going back up but not as much anymore!

Definitely feel a bit more excited now. Apart from Super Mondays, are there any other events I should remember for next year?

Wow, that would be an awesome opportunity and I'd really appreciate it. Any chance I could contact you in a few months when it's closer to me moving back up there?

there are individual user groups as well.

Ask your profs when you get back to Uni. I found out about these by chatting with a Newcastle Uni grad student.

They tend to help each other out so if you follow them on twitter, you'll get info on what's going on.

I may restart JavaScript North East soon too. It's hibernating for the winter at the moment.

I would definitely be interested to hear about this!

Feel free to hit me up when/if you do. I run JavaScript Weekly and could give it a mention.
