Vloggercue Midwest 2006

August 12
St. Louis, MO

WHO | WHAT | WHERE | WHEN

basically a bunch a vloggers are getting together in St. Louis for general knowledge sharing,
screenings, food consumption, community, and other assorted happenings.

A Big Thanks already to Bill
for organizing this event.

Friday
For those of you in town already we will meet at Lemmons for Pizza (map). If you are going to be in town on Friday email Bill Streeter or call 314-691-2281 to coordinate. There will be live entertainment their that night but if we want we can go to the City Museum (map) after that. You decide.

Saturday (Noon)
BBQ will be at Bill Streeters house (map) at 1PM.

We'll have the BBQ here with food and drinks. We're going to buy some food and a keg and soft drinks with the funds that have been provided by Node 101 for this purpose. Please add your name to the attendees list if you plan to be there so we know how much food to get. If it looks like we'll go over the amount from Node 101 then we'll ask everyone to pitch in a couple of bucks to make up the difference.

Saturday (Evening)
We'll all re-conviene at the Royale Bar and Grill (map) at 9pm that evening for a night cap and a screening of Susans video. Maybe we'll watch some other vlogs too, wanna bring a favorite--or as someone suggested show videos from the vlog scavenger hunt? I like this idea the more I think about it. This could turn out to be a nice Meet the Vloggers event.

Saturday Late Night
Boxing.

Sunday
Breakfast/Brunch?

Where Is The Party?

Saturday (Noon)
I've cancelled the pavilion reservation and I will be hosting the event at my house at 1PM. I couldn't justify spending $60 on the pavilion. Not using it will give us more money for more and better food and drink. Using the park would have meant probably asking for everyone who attends to pitch in some extra $'s. --Bill Streeter

That's cool, do we have a teaching schedule, or is it totally open format? How long should this last?
Answer: I was thinking that if anyone has any vlogging related questions we should ask that person to speak to the group about those questions. For example: if someone wants to know how Richard makes his little animated character. We can ask him to talk to the group about it. Also we will be in a place with Wi-Fi now so we can also participate in the Flash meeting that will be happening. So yeah open format. So if you want to be thinking about things you always wanted to ask someone who will be attending that would be great.

Saturday (Evening)
We'll all re-conviene at the Royale Bar and Grill later in the evening for a night cap and a screening of Susans video. Maybe we'll watch some other vlogs too, wanna bring a favorite--or as someone suggested show videos from the vlog scavenger hunt? I like this idea the more I think about it. This could turn out to be a nice Meet the Vloggers event.

Stephanie no longer needs a ride. Taking Amtrak to Chicago on Sunday afternoon instead. Will I see anyone on the train?

Midnight Boxing

Anonymous — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 12:31:48 CDT

This is Steve Smith, of the fancy sltstreets.com video/text blog. Bill Streeter, the organzer is my man. I own a restaruant and bar called the Royale, which I am certain people will need to come check out at some point during the visit.

I am hosting a midnight boxing tournament on the 12th, just north of downtown STL. It is something you should not miss. Here are the details:

Hoosierweight Boxing returns to its roots with an in-house show at the
Panda Athletic Club training gym on the near north side, 1619 North
Broadway, on late eve Saturday, August 12 with boxing starting at the
stroke of midnight.

This evening of fistic entertainment will feature several of the
Hoosierweight alums returning to the squared circle for a night of
round-robin midnight sparring, with fighters facing one another in
short order. While these bouts will not feature belt-wearing winners
and losers, the action should feature no small amount of flying
leather, as former combatants and sparring partners work out their
internal anguish in the ring, in a controlled environment.

This in-your-face spectacle will take place in the Panda's
turn-of-the-century training facility and those with the heart and
will to attend should realize that they are entering the belly of the
beast. This is a warm venue on the best of days, and once gloves are
laced and shots are exchanged, it will surely become the hottest venue
in town on August 12. Attendees are advised to pack plenty of water -
and whatever other libations that they'd care to transport.

In addition to the midnight sparring, attendees are invited to attend
the earlier
portion of the evening at 10pm, a live musical concert featuring
Corbeta Corbata, booked by punk godfather Don "Pride of the Southside"
Beasley, who'll be on-hand to sign autographs and, maybe, to give and
take a few blows, himself.

For those clamoring for the old-school, underground-styled
Hoosierweight battles of yore, this night of scientific sparring will
be an overdue treat and a way to support the Panda AC, as it enters a
new era.

Keep your gloves up and chin down,

Panda AC

Event Suggestions

Bill.streeter — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 08:29:27 CDT

Do you have any ideas about what you might like to do at this event? I'm inviting some non-vloggers and some local bloggers who would like to vlog, so maybe we can have some kind of game that will help get everyone aquainted? Post your suggestions here:

Idea 1 : Maybe we select a theme out of a hat, and everyone goes and makes a video blog based on that theme--I like the vlog scavenger hunt menioned below.

Idea 2 : 1 hour workshop on how to use editing software

Idea 3 : ??? eat bbq?

Idea 4 : Profit!!

Places to stay

Yes here are three hotels that I would recommend.

The Red Roof Inn on Hampton Avenue
(314) 645-0101
(314) 645-0119
5823 Wilson Avenue
St Louis, MO 63110
It's cheap and clean, my parents stay there when they are in town.

Holiday Inn Express St Louis
(314) 664-0953
(314) 664-3596
(314) 773-6500
2625 Lafayette Ave
St Louis, MO 63104
This is very nice but will be more expensive than the Red Roof Inn, but probably not too bad.

Hampton Inn
(314) 241-3200
(314) 241-9351
2211 Market St
St Louis, MO 63103
This one is downtown and probably a good choice if you plan to do some site seeing while you are here.

And yes I would rent a car. Cabs can be fairly expensive (pretty much like anywhere else) $40 from the air port, and average $10 or more for short trips around town.

Things you might want to stick around and see are:

The Arch (of course)
The City Museum
The Anheuser Busch Brewery Tour (kid friendly!)
The St. Louis Zoo (free!)

And any number of attractions and museums here--if you plan for them outside of Vloggercue.

What do you want to eat? Are there any dietary restrictions that we need to keep in mind? Vegitarian, Vegan, Kosher, Halal? Let us know so we can have something for everyone.

Who's coming?
