I'd like to throw Washington DC in the ring as a possible venue for Vloggercon 2007.
So far we've had NYC (The Culture/Finance/Media capital), Bay Area (The Tech capital), why not do vloggercon in the political capital? Imagine combining Vloggercon with visits to your lawmakers, interest groups, and such and vlogging those visits? The election cycle is going to add a bunch of energy to this town too, and we can feed off and into that energy. Washington DC is all about communication. Every major interest group in the country has a presence here. Maybe it makes sense for DIY media makers to have their voice heard here too. Maybe there are some issues that we hold in common, perhaps around intellectual property, net neutrality, shield laws, broadband access? If so, a collective voice beats a solitary voice. I'm sure there are lots of great places to hold vloggercon, I just want to make a case for DC. We have an expanding community of vloggers on the ground here who I'm sure would be happy to help out in the organizing and running of the event. I certainly would love to help out. OK, that's my pitch. What do people think? --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What's the most recent plan for this?
