RE: [videoblogging] Vloggercon venue voting now on the wiki
Eric Skiff managed to get a great venue for PodCamp NYC (the New Yorker hotel) and I imagine do it on a budget. I've CC'd him here. -Original Message- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard (Show) Hall Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 11:53 AM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon venue voting now on the wiki I have to say that I agree with Jen. I'm very willing to participate, but I'm not willing to put it together, so my vote doesn't really mean a lot, in that I vote to have it where it will happen because someone there will make it happen (I'm hoping that sentence makes some sense to someone). ...

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon venue voting now on the wiki
We've heard from Boston and DC that they're willing to do it... If there's a number of people who want it to happen in a place, the organisers will step forward. I think it needs to be a group led decision, not just a practical organiser based one.
