Hey you, this is caliblog, all of this is based on a true story... all of this is our lives my life in a nutshell.

"meet the vloggers"

posted on Saturday, August 26, 2006 by

I'm feeling very inspired right now. I just returned from a "Meet the Vloggers" introduction at the Grove Apple store. It's a class or a basic run-thru of video-blogging that is held at least once a month... it's something I've been meaning to see for myself for months, Ryanne had persuaded me to go early in the year, but with Pedal and just routine-in-general keeping me busy it took me longer than it should have. Ryanne had even went so far as to say I should host a class myself - but I defiantly didn't feel comfortable or ready to do that without having even been to anything similar before.

Anyways, it was hosted by Zadi (from Karmagrrrl) & her husband - and there was about 15 people there who sat through the entire presentation. It really does have me thinking about what approach(s) I would take in running an event like that... whether I'll work up the nerve to actually do it...

I really wish Amanda could have gone with me - maybe I'll take her to a "Meet the Vloggers" next month. I think getting involved in the vlogger-community for this area could really inspire her to do an outdoors'ish-organic-farming-gardening project with likeminded people near us. We are both into an Ypsilanti project right now called 'Growing Hope', and I can see Amanda going to one of these intro's and working towards building her own Growing Hope-styled project but with video-blogging... and having a lot of success.

If I have the day off may I join you next time you go? I was going to ask you on monday if you wouldnt mind showing me how to set up to vlog because I really want to get started. My camcorder is crappy but I think it will work.

Hey Mike, thanks for dropping by. You should definitely present next time around! There have been many vloggers who come the first month, put their vlog up and then present at the next Meet the Vloggers. It really helps to demonstrate how easy it is.

I also checked out Amanda's site. Really cool stuff. Can't wait to meet you guys next time! :)
