There's no place like home. The next three stops on the Podcast and Videoblog Roadshow are in my home state, California.

In fact, since the Silicon Valley Roadshow so close to the San Francisco Roadshow, we've got no apologies about the SF venue being 21 and up!

We are pleased to have The House of Shields hosting the event on Saturday, August 6, 2005. Doors are opening early at 4pm. Located at 39 New Montgomery, The House of Shields is the second oldest pub in San Francisco.

There's going to be live music, PLUS, you can meet the whole crew from The Eric Rice Show.

Call every blogger, podcaster, and videoblogger you know. Bring a newbie. Bring a camera. Bring a newbie. And all you journalists out there? Don't be shy. Come on out and let's show the rest of the world why SF is one of the hardcore hot spots for making media.

The Podcast and Videoblog Roadshow is sponsored by Audioblog.com and also by The Podcast Hotel brought to you by Corante; and of course, our good friends at Tucows, makers of the Blogware, the blog software that powers the Podcast Roadshow and many others.

Up the street from the Farmer's Market is a Seattle's Best at Portland (doh!) State University. It's at 1742 SW Sixth Ave., and we're meeting there at noon. We'll hang out for an hour or so and then start walking through downtown for the infamous blog/pod/vlog walks. This is Saturday, July 16th.

Bring a camera, bring a microphone, bring a newbie! There's no set schedule and who knows where we'll end up to eat or drink that oh-so loverly Oregon beer. Comfy shoes, cuz it's an outdoorsy-kind of day.

Details TBA

Podcasters and Videobloggers! Bring a non-podcasting or non-vlogging friend, your gear, a camera, as the Roadshow comes to Vancouver, BC.

Our hosts for the evening are the good folks at Bryght. So if you're in town, stop on by! You might even get some live music action. ;-)

When: Monday, June 27, 2005, 5:00 pm
Where: Bryght, 525 Seymour Street, Suite 203, Vancouver, BC

There's nothing finer than videoblogging in a city with such tourist intensity. After all, where else can you gleefully whip out a camera in public and goof off with no one giving you a second look?

The Roadshow hits Seattle on SUNDAY, June 26, 2005 (right after Gnomedex), and where else to start a run of the city, but at the Pike Place Public Market on the waterfront. Food. Coffee. People throwing fish. Musicians. Street vendors. And who know what else. Talk about soundseeing tours for podcasters!

After the market closes, we can make our way to the Space Needle and EMP Live! area, for plenty of video eye candy and the place where we watch the sun go down...

So, Seattle podcasters and videobloggers, bring a non-podcasting or non-vlogging friend, bring your gear, get amped up on coffee (we know we will), and meet us at the big sign (by the fish throwers, or wherever there are benches to congregate around).

When: Sunday, June 26, 2005, 3:00 PM
Where: Pike Place Public Market, out front at the entrance by the big sign.
Where else: Since the Market closes at 5, let's shoot to migrate to the Space Needle/EMP Live area, where we can lay about. The Needle closes at 11, and the EMP place closes at 8. (Not that we'd go in, but at least we know how long to loiter.

See ya in Jet City.
