I just got back from PodCamp NYC and boy are my feet tired. No, seriously, it’s a ton of walking around and meeting new people.
I’m thrilled that I got to take part in three panels this year, a couple with both Ariel Hyatt from Ariel Publicity and Dan Patterson from the UN. I think it’s the first time I met Ariel and she’s a wonderful person (if you’re a musician like me, you ought to be paying attention to her). Dan I’ve met before, but I’m glad I got to know him a lot better this time around.
I also did my own panel, the usual “Audio Production 101″ with quite a few revisions. Fortunately, everyone seems to have real positive feedback about it. If you’re interested in seeing it for yourself, I posted the slideshow with narration here.
There was also the concert, otherwise known as “Chel conned the hotel into letting me use their piano, just add Twitter, and presto.” I had a blast, and hopefully we didn’t scare the Italian tourists that hung around to watch. I hear there’s a recording that might surface, but that’ll most likely become part of Virtual Hot Wings since it’s basically a really close-up bootleg. (If it DOES show up there, you’ll find it at virtualhotwings.com of course)
Now that it’s all over, though, I hope I can stay as well connected with folks via Facebook, Twitter, and the like as I can with a handshake. It’s always more fun meeting people in person, so hopefully I’ll get to do this again soon. Maybe PodCamp Philly in September?

One of the panels I was on was led by Mr. Dan Patterson, UN Correspondent for the Talk Radio News Service and host of the Creepy Sleepy Show. The other panelists were none other than CC Chapman, Whitney Hoffman, and Chris Penn. Dan was kind enough to record the entire session, so if you’re interested here’s the show:
