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?

Help to help you out with contacts - I'm the guy from ignite100 in the feature. Also, if you'd like to work with any of the ignite100 alumni, more than happy to connect you.

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.

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