Today we went to LA Roberts so that we could have brunch with Santa. My brother-in-law’s father, Uncle Howard, is Santa there for two weekends close to Christmas. He dresses like an old world Santa and carries a carved walking stick. They set up a giant seat for Santa and a great Christmas tree as well as a large bag of toys for the kids who come to the brunch. They even had a balloon artist on site making hats.
Today I went to Morin’s for the monthly meeting of the Southern New England Media Makers. the format of the event if you have never been to one, is that there is time for people to gather and discuss and network. then a roll call is taken, usually on video. After video roll is done then we either order food or have the buffet (both are great choices). then we each have a few minutes to go into what we are doing in the way of making media. Sometimes that gets recorded as well. Today I recorded everyone doing their intros. There were seven of us in attendance today including Bruce K Garber (@brucekgarber), Steve Sherlock (@shersteve), Jeff Galsson (@jeffglasson), Kyle MacNaught (@kylemacnaught), Amanda MacArthur (@amaaanda), Patrick Hughes (@eastofprov) and me (@BenSpark). Here is the video where we each talk about what we are up to.
The great thing about a group like this is the chance to exchange ideas with people who “get you”. There are some awesome ideas coming out of this group. I’m so glad I found a group like this local to me.
I also brought one of my pocket XShots with me to give away. Bruce K Garber won it with a business card blind pick.
