even in here...the spin doctors are at work! here's my original pitch for DC: --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. It's not about being covered by traditional media, but there is no denying that it's a central hub of information creators. For me, it's more about educating ourselves on how information in the US gets passed around and spread. it's empowering for me to see it and say "is that all they do"? jay -- Here I am.... http://jaydedman.com Check out the latest project: http://pixelodeonfest.com/ Webvideo festival this June!!!!
