Jonny and I talked about holding Vloggercon in DC. Its great on several levels. --Its central and easy to fly into. --it'd be a surprise because its not a common place to hold a bleeding edge, community tech conference --DC is getting more and more attention as the 2008 US elections keeps heating up. A grassroots media conference is perfect for this mix. --we're right in the heart of the FCC where decisions on Net Neutrality are being decided --I imagine 300 vloggers running around the Capitol steps with cameras. especially the new Nokias where you can upload to the web immediately. im for DC. jay -- Here I am.... http://jaydedman.com Check out the latest project: http://pixelodeonfest.com/ Webvideo festival this June!!!!
