vloggers
On Saturday I was talking to David L, all about interests I have and how I envision my life.. what I wish it was like.

Years ago I was into vlogging. I still am, and I’ve been trying to put new things out.. but I haven’t.. why? Mostly because I felt unsupported. I don’t know any other vlogging types or barely any other blogging types. So what do I need? A support group!
I want to meet other vloggers and be able to talk about the challenges and positives of vlogging. = )
The same thing holds true for blogging. I’m going to make a list of all the bloggers I know. I’ve done this in the past, but I believe they its called a blogroll. My current blogroll list is available on http://hmatt.com/blog/links/
Anyway, I’ve toyed with the idea of starting up a Meetup group.. but I’d rather just join something! The amount of effort to set up a meeting (and the cost) make me shy away.. but if I don’t do it where am I? I can’t just wait for someone else to do things all the time. If I want something done I’ll have to do it myself.
I’m adding this project for the month of April.. to have a vlogger/blogger meeting! I’ll have to do a lot of things to make this a reality. 1) pick a place that is big enough for people (and also small enough in case we don’t have many people show), 2) create some sort of atmosphere and plan to make everyone feel comfortable, 3) network and advertise so I can get to know if there are any other places I can go..
I tried looking for “los angeles vloggers” and old 2005 and 2006 posts came up…
although just looking at it again I found some geek meetings all about social media. A lot of them are competing with one another, but instead of focusing on making an ongoing series (or obligation). I’ll create some fun vlog challenges and topics to discuss. I’m not sure what I’m expecting.. but it would sure be nice to see what other people are up to.
Hmm.. what is it about me and getting all excited about things that are no longer in fad. It sure makes it difficult to find like-minded individuals! = /
I wonder though if these geek dinners are all about super intense stuff and if will be full of programmers or internet rockstars. Although- who cares really? I’m not about to be intimidated by other internet folk because they are more ‘internet popular’ than me. How will I be able to immerse myself in that type of culture if I’m always on the sidelines.
gee whiz.. I’m always on the search for “my people”.
A draft of my internet vlogging vision is available on http://hmatt.com/blog/vlogging/
That’s it for now I suppose.
