Last night was the latest installment of the LA Geek Dinner. Thanks to everyone who came out. What can I say? We rocked the house again. Canters was a great location. We started out with a couple tables and people kept arriving - even at 10pm - so we kept adding tables.
The vloggers successfully assimilated themselves. I was delighted that so many showed up - especially the two super cute brothers I have nicknamed the del Rey brothers. Their real names are Rick and Eric, but I was calling them Marina and Playa! Anyway, I've adopted them as my little brothers because they are just SO CUTE!
It was really great to see so many people come out. I'm always torn from one conversation to another. There are so many interesting people and many good discussions. If you attended I hope you got a chance to meet some interesting people, and if you didn't, well then shame on you - ask me to introduce you next time.
My favorite time was the one second I had to look around and see everyone talking and connecting. That's what this is all about. It's not just a social hour, it's not just dinner - you definitely get out of it, what you put into it. We'll be back at Cantors.
I can't even begin to talk about my interview with Ronnie, from RSSnew.tv. He made me feel things I never suspected I had in me. We'll just have to wait for the video. ;)
We'll do it all again next month. And Barcamp is coming up in a month or so. Details are coming soon. If you want more info about the geek dinner or barcamp (anyone is free to attend), then head over to the wiki.
And if you have any comments or criticism, send them my way or post them to the wiki.
I had an amazing time at my first geek dinner. You are a wonderful "connector."
