Machinimoo

*taps the mic* Is this thing on? Wow! It’s been a crazy few months. As some of you may already know, I’ve been blogging over at Second Life Insider. While I’ve been getting used to that, among other things, my blogging here has suffered quite a bit. I’m hoping to change that.

On to the subject matter at hand. I was speaking with Tuesday McKay (Betsy Weber of TechSmith) and she informed me of an event for Coca Cola going on at crayon island. When I arrived, the buzzword there was PodCruise Miami. What is it? A 4 day cruise from Florida to the Bahamas! It’s pretty damn cheap. It takes place from December 7th-10th, 2007. My roomie will be TheDiva Rockin. I’m so excited!

What is PodCamp?

Per the Podcamp Wiki:

PodCamp is a FREE BarCamp-style community UnConference for podcasters and listeners, bloggers and readers, and anyone interested in New Media. It was held for the first time from September 8-10 in Boston, Massachusetts and is now spreading across the world.

Is anyone else going to this? Let me know! We’ll get our drink on.

It’s my first Ed Wood Festival and I’m super nervous about it. I want to make Ben proud and get a lot of entries for it. Hell, *I* don’t even know the theme to it yet.

Just 10 SHORT days left until the in-world festival. Eep!

My journey to insanity is over! I was contacted by Koz Farina, of Podcast.com and Secondlife.Podcast.com, about being sponsored for my trip to New York for the Machinima Festival. Now I can spread the good word of Second Life to other machinimists.

For those that have heard of Koz, he is also of BlogHUD fame. During the next 20 days, I’ll be blogging my thoughts, doing vlogs, calling in to do audioblogs, and posting footage of the event itself. Stay tuned!

In other news, the panel spots are all full, but my outline of our panel was so awesome, that they might want us to do a workshop for AMAS members! That’s so much cooler in a way! I’m really excited to see the enthusiasm for Second Life machinima.

As for travel info, I arrive on Thursday night, November 2nd, and leave on Monday afternoon, November 6th. That gives me 4 nights of clubbing and 3.5 days of work! If you live in the New York area and I know you from Second Life, contact me if you want to hang out!
