Spooky Swarm birthday!

Spooky Swarm birthday!

I'll be celebrating my 30th birthday tomorrow at Camino bar on Pentoville Road near King's Cross, London. Jennifer has been planning this for the past couple of weeks. Today Foursquare announced the availability of a limited edtion Spooky Swarm badge, only available during the Halloween weekend - that is from today until 31 October 2010.

Jennifer contacted Chris, the organiser of the #SuperSwarmLDN event early this month and looked at how we can tage advantage of the gathering of a handful of Foursquare savvy people into an event that can unlock the Spooky Swarm badge.

If you are planning on coming, please sign up on Plancast page and check in at Camino from 7pm! Cheers!

Super Swarming London

Super Swarming London

Yay, we did it! We unlocked the highly elusive Super Swarm badge at Jewel bar in Soho, London yesterday. Many thanks to Chris Pearson who originally came up with the movement to get 250 Foursquare users checking in at a location in London. The Swarm badge was unlocked around 6pm and the Super Swarm badge just after 7pm. By the end of the evening, over 320 geo-location savvy people have checked in!

A couple of us (the 'original' Foursquare crew ^_^) later went to have dinner at Rosa's London, the venue of the first Foursquare meetup a couple of months ago where we attempted (but failed) to unlock the Swarm badge (we did get Player Please!). But before that we decided to attempt at unlocking another badge - the A-list. Want it? Follow TV Logo on Foursquare and check in at two gay bars. Simples.

Cheers to Chris (@cpchannel) and the team at @superswarm: Sam (@saml24), Bernie (@berniejmicthell), Rhea (@rheaj), Rebecca (@unicornRW), Steve (@gxconnect) etc. for organing the event and Jewel bar (@piccadillyjewel) for being great hosts.

We really wanted that A-list badge...

Special shout out to Richard (@richgregory), Sarah (@pumpkininho), Abul (@adonisdemon), Jennifer (@hardij), Amir (@benjezzy), Andy (@4andy1982), Rhea (@rheaj), Kate (@katemerle), Sacha (@sachab), Lee (@lstacey), Nicole (@nkuderer), David (@davidjlowe), Chris (@mahadewa), Yanick (@ycholet) and Sonia (@eastendlass - read her account on yesterday's event this great blog post) for being great companions.

Finally, check out the great photographs from last night's event as captured by Paul Clarke (@paul_clarke)

Foursquare Super Swarm London meetup

Foursquare Super Swarm London meetup

A couple of weeks ago a movement to create the first Foursquare Super Swarm gathering outside the US was founded by Chris Pearson on twitter.

After a bit of research I found out that this can't be done as there are already Super Swarm badges unlocked outside the US - for example one in Indonesia. In fact they may have already been a Super Swarm badge in Europe - we just do not know due to recent changes in Foursquare privacy settings. As a Superswarm badge is still a rather rare and highly sought after badge to obtain (even Nokia World did not produce a Swarm, much less a Super Swarm...), all these does not matter. What matters most is we get a Super Swarm badge.

Well Chris and a couple of other Foursquare enthusiasts got together to work out the details of the meet. A date was first set, 7 October 2010, and it was decreed that London should host it. With a population of 7 million in London and almost 14 million people within Metropolitan London, it makes sense so don't bring up the London bias argument. Next was choosing a venue. A public place like Trafalgar Square would have been cool as it would mean we could have also relied on tourists check-ins, but they decided that a venue would have been better. And it makes sense, because we want to be able to chat with people and socialise. The venue selected for this honour is the Jewel Bar in Soho.

So Londoners, if you are after that Super Swarm badge - drop by the Jewel Bar and check-in between 6pm and 9pm on Thursday 7 October.
