VlogEurope 2010 - Lisbon. I've had this on my mind for some time, and now is as good a time as any to start spreading the word and getting people to find time in their schedule to make it to Portugal in November. So why VlogEurope 2010 - Lisbon? Portugal is easily reachable from both sides

crazy facebook url! but it worked! Sent it to my buddy, thanks Sull. And the footage looks better than on my xacti (forget what I have as its not with me at the moment) Anyone else have thoughts on this? Does not have to be about sanyos specifically; just cheap(er) flash-based cameras. thanks

Hey Miguel - great to hear from you. I would love to be there and if the dates are set far enough out I will absolutely try to do what I can to be there. Best vlogeuropes thus far have been where a constant meeting space is available. Our vlogeurope in Budapest was great because we rented out a
