There's no place like home. One of the places I'm most proud of is the Silicon Valley. My family heritage stretches from Portola Valley to Morgan Hill and everywhere in between. I'm from here. This is my home.

And growing up entrenched in the hotbed of technology innovation, I'm thrilled to announce the venue host for the Silicon Valley Roadshow: Buck's of Woodside!

Join us Monday night, August 15, 2005 at 6pm for some good eatin', drinkin', podcastin' and vloggin' (and tomfoolery, heh) at this famous hot spot, right off of Highway 280 on Woodside Road.

Come hang out to talk shop, meet some local podcasters and vloggers, and who knows who else might show up. ;-) After all, it's right up the road from places like Google, HP, Yahoo, Adobe, Apple, Intel, and hmm, even Sand Hill Road.

See ya there!

Okay, so it's a little unexpected to throw an east coast roadshow in the middle of the west coast tour, but hey! Unexpected is the New Black.

If you're an Atlanta-area podcaster, videoblogger, blogger, then head on down to Latitudes lounge and bistro inside the Omni Hotel at CNN Center on Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at 7pm and meet some local podcasters and (hopefully) vloggers.

Located at 100 CNN Center, downtown Atlanta.

Hilary from Podcrawl informs me that MARTA rolls right into CNN Center.

See ya there!

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.

Sustainable! (That's an inside joke) But the Portland podcaster/vlogger community is no joke. A long history with multimedia, temperate climates, and plenty of nearby tech (and mighty fresh eatin'), Portland has always been a place that I've noticed from afar that seems to be on the early adopter side of the fence. As Tim Germer from Northwest Noise put it, "We already make our own media!"

Greg Hughes also shows off the ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC and shows how to make your handwriting into a font.

Audioblog.com and The Podcast Hotel Coming to Portland 9/6-8/2005.

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.

The Podcast & Videoblog Roadshow came to the Pacific Northwest, with the first stop in Seattle, right after the Gnomedex conference. Download and watch the video.

Total Running Time: 9:01

Guest hosted by Doug Dobbins, other guests included: Jamie Nelson from Planet Nelson and Didge Planet, Clint Sharp, Melanie Sharp, Stuart and Louise Maxell, Travis from the Crap Monkey Podcast, and Bre Pettis and his classic Volvo.

Thanks to the crew at Technorati for their unexpected and unofficial sponsorship of the mic flag. ;-)
