An apology

Posted on August 12, 2007 by Mike

I just learned that someone was turned away from Thursday night’s Twitter meetup because of a lack of wheelchair access. While Ishtar is a great restaurant and is accessible from the street, our event took place in the basement dining area and I have to admit that the fact that this was a problem never occurred to me.

I really am a dumb fuck sometimes.

No excuse for lack of thought and awareness on my part and no passing the buck. While I’ll ensure that any future event I run is open and accessible to everyone it doesn’t fix that I pissed off Christiane on the night. Suddenly the fact that so many people enjoyed themselves means very little if even one person was angry over the event.

An apology is about all I can do at this point, so I’d like to express just how sorry I am.

If Christiane gets back in touch I’ll do my best to make amends.

    Wow! I’m really impressed by this entry. Thank you! And I absolutely accept your apology.It wasn’t really your fault. I checked the accessibility before but I couldn’t now that there is a restaurant area downstairs. I’m looking forward to join the next Twitter event.

    Thanks Christiane. I think you’re more than entitled to be angry and again I’m sorry I didn’t think about the accessibility issue. Looking forward to a proper chat at the next event.
