yo so i know a few friends of mine live in the northwest and sometimes i wish i did too, and if i did, i would make sure to check out the NPPA Multimedia Summit in Portland, OR. on June 1st and 2nd. That’s right folks, portland f’n oregon. part of god’s country. it looks like it’s going to be an excellent event and i know from checking out the lineup that there will be lots of very interesting and energetic discussion. seriously though. i don’t really like listening to other people all that much :), but i would def stop to listen to any of the speakers at this conference including:
> my editor Andrew DeVigal (multimedia editor, nytimes.com)
> my co-worker Judith Levitt (photo producer and fellow tarheel, nytimes.com)
> my former professor Rich Beckman (professor at University of North Caroliina)
> my former thesis committee member Tom Kennedy (multimedia editor, washingtonpost.com)
> my thesis interviewee Joe Weiss (formerly of newsandobserver.com and more recently soundslides.com)
> my good buddy Seth Gitner (roanoke.com)
> multimedia madman richard KOCI hernandez (mercurynewsphoto.com)
> the man with a company named after him brian storm (mediastorm.com)
and those are only the people i know… so i have no doubt that the other speakers are also on top of the game. according to gitner the the immersion workshop is filled, but both friday and saturday are open to anyone, which means you. and seth’s open for questions at sethgitner@sethgitner.com.
fly out.
hicks you sandbaggin’ SOB how are you?
it’s wedding season buddy, and you know what that means. sitting on the steps of the capital building, pounding a bottle of bubbly at 7 in the morning while reminiscing about all those babies.
you know what i’m talkin bout.
on a more serious note… did you discover kayak on the toobs like 3 years ago? im guessing you were part of their initial launch. maybe you even secured their series 1 funding?
good show.
an excellent riposte!
I’m jealous of you in new york and all those women you have there. But you may be interested that I pass a flyfishing outfitter walking home every day.
Hey, and I’m doing this thing: I’m learning to talk to my friends again and spending all my money on plane tickets. It’s like this: kayak.com is my idea of a social networking site.
Mostly though, I spend my time hitting the ‘random article’ link on wikipedia.
oh and, apropos, props to having actual content on your blogos lately.
