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 13 15^th, 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.

Update:  The din­ner will be held at Regina Margherita at 626 Lin­coln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139
