The Fab Four – Part 2

6 Comments

In the concluding video of the Fab Four we get to hear the rest of the story from our panelists. Drew, Karen, Mr Fab. and Colleen.

Being a part of this group was really one of the highlights of my time at Postiecon. Although the Cake Plow and the party at Tao were also very very fun. I liked that while I was up there I could see the live feed happening and that is why you probably see me looking down. I think someone said on there “Let Drew talk, he has to go back to old questions because he didn’t get a chance to answer them.”

Sure that happened and was a bit frustrating but I don’t have a dominating personality and just go with the flow. I don’t begrudge anyone for rocking the mic. I said what I wanted to say for the most part and when things were important that I think the viewers wanted to see I would go back to questions I didn’t get a chance to answer. Of course I bet quite a few people were wondering what I was doing up there in the first place. No matter, it was a great time and I was surrounded by some great people both on the stage and off.

The Fab Four – Part 1

6 Comments

At PostieCon 2007 I was asked at the last minute to jump onto the Fab Four Panel. I’m sure that many people were scratching their heads about who I was or why I was up there. You see, Tricia was supposed to be up there but she was sick that day. I would really have enjoyed listening to Tricia talk about blogging. She has one of my favorite weekly memes out there Green Thumb Sunday and she is a very good photographer and blogger. I was happy to get a chance to meet her later Saturday evening at Tao.

The folks on the panel were Karen from The Pond, Mr. Fab from Pointless Drivel and Colleen from Simple Kind of Life. Karen (#3) and Colleen (#1) are a couple of top earners for PayPerPost. Mr. Fab is a prolific writer of two blogs, hosts a radio show and sculpts with sculpey.and even posts occasionally on the IZEA blog. Me, I just run 5 blogs and some other cool stuff.

Anyway I had my new video camera with me and so I set it up and had Robyn and Peggy run it while I was on stage. I had to cut the video in half because of the size and I only got part one uploaded last night (this morning). I uploaded it to PodShow where I host my Wired Kayaker podcasts. Here is the video. Also I pumped up the sound because on the live feed people said I talked too low.
