I’ve just watched Mr. Safety’s video about the next As One Gathering which will be held in Philadelphia on August 4th. I was in a Stickam chat with Nalts and Podcasting101 as they discussed their gathering in NYC on 7/7/07. There was some concern about rival gatherings and all the drama of competition but fortunately this appears to have been avoided.
I’ll probably attend the Philadelphia As One Gathering because I can drive there and drive back in one day and won’t need any hotel accommodations. I don’t know if I can go to the NYC gathering because I think traveling to NYC alone is very stressful. Maybe I can interest a local group into sponsoring a bus trip for all the local vlogger fanatics. Podcasting101 made the very good point that anyone who attends a gathering will appear in countless videos so it should not be too hard to find someone to sponsor a trip in return for the free publicity.
Although these gatherings are organized by YouTube vloggers they are not official YouTube events so I think everyone at LiveVideo should be welcome. I brought this up in the Stickam chat room and they said LiveVideo vloggers are welcome to attend.
