Event Catchup: BarCamp, MGoLA, Tuttle, VIP and Weenie Roast
It’s been a busy two weeks over here, with lots of work to do and events to go to. I’ve met some great people and learned some interesting things in the process — and I also got to hear some great music. The event rundown:
BarCamp LA
I finally went to my first BarCamp, a tech unconference [...]
Introducing: The Tuttle LA Blog
Today, we finally launched the Tuttle LA blog. It was meant to be a super easy and quick installation, but took longer than expected, mostly due to technical problems with the host we were going to use.
I kept it nice and simple, but added some neat plugins that I hadn’t used before, including Event Calendar, [...]
Tuttle LA #3 Friday, March 27
Sorry for the lack of advance notice on this post, but it’s been a hectic week! Tuttle Club LA #3 will be happening Friday, March 27 at 10:30 a.m. at The Library Coffee House in Long Beach.
So far, it sounds like there will be a nice crowd, including some new people. We’ll probably be in [...]
Tuttle #2 – This Time With Video, and No, We Weren’t in a T-Shirt Shop
Tuttle #2 was even better than Tuttle #1. We met again at the Library, and started by meeting in the cozy room on the left that has lots of couches, but we had a special surprise — a video Skype chat with Lloyd Davis (aka the Tuttle mothership, as Geoff said), who is at SXSW this weekend. We were a bit loud when on the call, so one of the annoyed Library patrons suggested we head to the bizarre extra room off to the right, which was empty.
Tuttle #2
Tomorrow will be the second-ever meeting of the LA Tuttle Club. We’ll be meeting again at the Library in Long Beach at 10:30 a.m. for coffee and discussion about work, social media, marketing, music… whatever it is that you’re into. The first meeting was great fun — we all met some new people and learned [...]
The First-Ever LA Tuttle Club
Today we had the first-ever meeting of Tuttle LA. Maybe it should be called Tuttle LB, as we were actually in Long Beach. In any case, Geoff and I had been planning for this for a few weeks, but weren’t really sure if anyone was going to show up. Thankfully, we didn’t have much to worry about — we had a nice small group of 7.
Bringing the Tuttle Club to Los Angeles
One of my fondest memories of living in London is my weekly meetups with London’s social media crowd at the Tuttle Club/Social Media Cafe. It’s how I met most of my friends in the city, it inspired me to delve deeper into social media with my work, and it provided lots of opportunities for me [...]
Someone Once Told Me “I’m a Nose Man”
Back in October, I was asked to participate in an online photography and storytelling project called Someone Once Told Me, started by Mario Cacciottolo. He showed up at the Coach and Horses for Tuttle Club on the one day of my trip to London I was able to make it, and he asked just about [...]
A Short Jaunt Back to London
Since Evan and I left London, I’ve wanted to go back. Luckily, we had tickets waiting for us (the last leg of the around-the-world trip plus our original return tickets). We thought we’d be using them over Thanksgiving, but since we’re still unemployed, we decided to move up the date and head out the first [...]
Weekly Reading and a Dose of Wicked
This past week has been quite a lot of fun. On Saturday night we went to see Wicked, which was quite a lot of fun, especially since the audience got really into it — there were girls there in green face paint and a lot of the crowd gave a standing ovation at the end. [...]
Weekly Reading, Creative Coffee Club and Tuttle
It’s been another fun-filled week in London. Evan got back into town on Monday, Wednesday I went to Creative Coffee Club for the first time, Thursday Evan’s parents arrived and I also met up with a new London friend, and Friday I went to Tuttle Club. I also managed to write a couple of Londonist [...]
Weekly Reading and a New Watercolor
Today, after going to Tuttle and having a lovely Friday morning talking to friends and making new ones, I headed to Hyde park with my watercolors, intent on painting something in the afternoon sunshine. What you see above was my one and only creation — a view of the end of the serpentine, facing the [...]
Weekly Reading: This Time Featuring a Monkey!
Well, it’s been another busy week, but I got to see a lot of people. The Tuesday night blogger meetup was nice, and today I went to the Social Media Cafe/Tuttle Club, where there was a nice, big group to chat with over croissants and coffee. I got to catch up with Mike, Darika, James, [...]
Is the Week Already Over?
It’s been another busy week in London. I’m still writing up stories on Sugarscape, only managed to do one blog for Londonist — “London – Bangladesh? Let the Train Take the Strain” — and started posting on the Workology blog.
Other than that, I also made it to another chocolate tasting, this time at Keith Hurdman’s [...]
The Londonist Eye, Social Media Mafia and Your Weekly Reading
Well, it’s been a busy week to say the least. I started an internship at Hachette Filipacci, wrote a new Entrepreneur.com article (you’ll see it soon) and still managed to write Londonist posts four out of five days.
I also managed to make it to the Museum of London for a pub quiz last night with [...]
