BIG GEEK UPS to Shira Lazar for writing and producing this! And if you’re in LA, perhaps I’ll see you tonight at GeekOut ’09.
BarCampLA-5 Was a Blast
Best BarCampLA to date? Quite possibly. There were some amazing presentations — Hopefully presos / audio, etc will be posted online soon. I hosted PowerPoint Karaoke and almost died laughing. There was a very well used gong. Vinyl was spun, there was a Rickroll Train, a Rockband rocktackular, even a couple sessions delete with food artistry and consumption. Read my post from Day 1 at LAist. Check out the photos via flickr:
