Yawn Boring!
VLOGSTOCK! the 2007 theme! Vlogging is a CELEBRATION! Conferences are for weenies... we're a FESTIVAL! If vloggercont was crossed with burning man what would it look like!? Is our art ALL 2D... are we doomed to be tied to screens!? like when homer simpson goes 3D... how do we get it out of the box and give it volume? > I > spent most of the Sunday session outside smoking and talking to > interesting people. And I right there too! If I had a favorite moment at vloggercon 2006 it would be a matter of which *conversation*... just literally hundreds of conversations! The people who suprised me the most were the ones I didn't know, even know I just think... god that was awesome! > > We should all get an invite like Irina did for the vloggies, no > matter where it will be held, and it should be a competition, but > more than that, if we could get hold a great big screen, loads of > people, not just us can see what we are capable of doing and raise > awareness that there is more than just TV shows, Films, Porn or > happyslapping videos on the visual side of the internet. That's what was missing... more SCREENINGS... more short screening sessions. There should be videoblogs playing in every room at all times unless someone is talking about videos. Maybe we can do some sessions in central park or a public museum. So many great museums in NY... We could add a complete day or two to vloggercon where sessions were completely assigned to public places. 10am breakfast session on... something or other at restraunt one and restraunt 2 12pm session on... at the fountain in the park 2pm session at the museum of modern art > Vloggercon 07, should be Vloggercon 3: The power of the vlog or > something like that, and even if those who can't attend due to > distance or money problems should be at least be allowed to show. that should always be the case... and if it wasn't I wouldn't be there. > This should be a celebration for all the hours of unpaid work, to > expose those who aren't as popular, as well as the cream de la creme. There's that word... *cellebration* Vloggercon should be more like SXSW. We need more karaoke! Who will be our bruce sterling? :) > In fact, how's about less attention be paid to the popular types, and > more emphasis on those that are trying. I tend to think of those "popular types" as magnets to attract away or distract non-genuines so the bulk of us can have some damn good conversations. :) The key is in getting a nice enough mix of outsiders and newbs and vlogstars to the party just to keep it interesting. I look forward to seeing you again soon paul, and I hope this thing will be sooner than later... maybe more like earlier summer then later. -Mike mefeedia.com/blog mmeiser.com > Paul Knight > > > On 23 Feb 2007, at 15:42, RANDY MANN wrote: > > > vlogstock...................................i like > > > > On 2/23/07, Steve Garfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > Here's a list of upcoming PodCamps that anyone can attend and > > present > > > at: > > > > > > PodCamp > > > http://podcamp.pbwiki.com/ > > > > > > Upcoming PodCamps: > > > > > > * Podcamp Toronto - February 24-25, 2007 @ Ryerson University > > > * Podcamp Atlanta - March 16-18, 2007 at Emory University > > > * Podcamp NYC at The New School - April 7.
