Podcamp Pittsburgh Day Zero
August 17, 2007
So, Podcamp Pittsburgh is this weekend, which is an unconference for Pittsburgh bloggers and vloggers and new media enthusiasts. This is a good opportunity for me to meet people, since I haven’t a real friend who knows what a podcast is. This also means that I have no one to cling to during these offline social situations, and am therefore shit out of luck in sustaining a completely confident demeanor.
I was, in fact, so awkward, while violently gripping my free beer (thanks, SIDT!), that I did not take one picture. Not a one.
Luckily, this was day zero, and the good stuff starts tomorrow, so I’ll have more content to share. Not the swag though, that’s all mine. I hope to be writing live throughout the day. Keep by.
Edit: Luckily, Michael Fulk documented the event quite nicely. His shots can be found here. And hey look! There’s intellectual me on the right!

How cool is that? I don’t think we have something even remotely similar in Minnesota. I can’t wait to hear about it.

Pittsburgh REPRESENT.
There are some very good, and sexy, bloggers and vloggers and such in Pittsburgh. Which is obvious, since you’re in that group.
Have a good time!

That’s a great thing to go to! You have no reason to be so shy.
GIVE ME SOME SWAG!

Robert - I do have reason to be shy! It’s because I’M SHY!
And, NO!

Sooooo Rachel…
Do you find a sort of conflict between inclusion in the national blogging circuit and the local blogging circuit?

Lisa - That’s a great question because I didn’t even realize there was such a huge Pittsburgh blogging circuit until very recently. I’m looking forward to becoming more involved.

gah! why aren’t there things like that everywhere? …jealous.
you should meet the people who started it, take notes, and travel to texas. and start one here.

It sounds like you’re more socially adept than I am, so I congratulate you. I freeze up in social situations. :( This is probably why I’ve spent the past two weeks trying to go out, with no success!
It is strange that you stumbled upon my blog right after seeing that post! :)

Happy to share my photos. I’m uploading some more from Day One now.

Always glad to get everyone ripped for free :) I’ll have to make sure we stock up a little bit more for next time!

Your welcome!
As Spoon stated, we will have more in store for next year! But in the meantime, if anyone wants to hang out with SIDT in the Burg or suburbs, well dammit, let us know!
