ToobStock Footage: Virgil's photo shoot

[artgirlsreality]

It surely was one of the BEST for me too Buddy! just getting another look. :D

[merickinhawaii]

From the first notice Toobstock I said I got to go there. Then reality set in, Damn I live on a Island in the middle of the Pacific ocean! Bummer. I am planning to move back to mainland so hope to be at next one. I bet next one is is going to be bigger! You all are so real kine' people that I feel so much prouder of our You-tube family when watching these Vidoes! Wow what a great thing this is. Love ya,All. Mahalo & Aloha!!

[VirgilGuitar]

Thanks so much! If i lived in Hawaii and knew it was going to be as good as it was, I would have swam LOL - hope to see you at next year's!!!

[kiaweking]

I know the feeling Rick. But now we have a year to plan....and you're right gonna mo big next time guarans brah :-)

[VirgilGuitar]

That would be awesome if you both came - I would be able to jam with ya's!!!

[kiaweking]

Wild alligators couldn't keep me away :-)

I'll bring my kazoo

[Cameragirl803]

The music is so fitting for these pic's:) It makes me remember how nice it was to meet everyone! What an awesome time we had:)

[VirgilGuitar]

Thanks Jane! Leah is actually writing lyrics for this one... kinda a song in progress - I'm missing all this too! We made history buddy!

[Cameragirl803]

Yea Man! We are the Youtube pioneers for sure:) I can't believe I just caught this one so quick.

[modernoracle]

Man! Looks like a blast! Wish I could have made it! Thanks for taking some excellent pics!

[VirgilGuitar]

Greg - it was - we were bummed ya couldn't make it - hopefully next time!!!

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

I must admit I am so corny that I shed a tear... Especially after seeing my baby holding her finger up there XD *hugs*

[VirgilGuitar]

Thanks Karla!!! Your baby was holding her finger up? Hmmmmm

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

VirgilGuitar: Oh that lady has a couple of thoughts to share lol... You actually have 3 amazing video icons, featuring 3 of my most loved youtubers (all time)... Mike, Betty and Dennis sure are special to me :')

[VirgilGuitar]

Ha! So it was meant to be for us to meet! BTW, I don't care how much we may think we know people here on the tube, when they finally "Came Out Of The Screen" at ToobStock, they were even more cool. Mike came to my studio one day a couple months back and he's one of the best people I've met and an extreme talent to jam with and as for Dennis & Betty, well, I didn't meet them till ToobStock and they were SO awesome too.maybe we will have the honor to meet you next time!!

[MrsAtomicUs5000]

I will cross my fingers until then :)

[wdciii]

Oh Man! Virgil this goes straight to the fav's! -Dennis

[VirgilGuitar]

Ha! Thanks Dennis - I would say it captures the moment for sure!! Seeya round you great flautist!!

[LeopardJoy]

Awesome, V!!! By hook or by crook, I'll be at the next one...looks like you all had an awesome time! And the thing is, you all are my GOOD BUDDIES! It would have been so awesome to meet so many cool people at one time :)

FAVEd for sure!

Hugs,

Joy xo

[VirgilGuitar]

Joy, it is all still sinking in... what an awesome time we had and I can bet that the next one can only get better - especially if you show up!!! Ya gotta go no matter what! (Like ya said!) Thanks so much!

[londonpenda]

How many people came to ToobStock.?

[VirgilGuitar]

london... there were probably 250 - 275 people by Sat night, but not all YouTubers - my guess was about 30-50 tuberz were there.

Thanks for all your help in the implementation of this whole thing and we are all waiting like little puppies already for the next one!

[ripper778]

Love your sound track V and the photo's are most excellent.

[jgottlied]

Thanks Virg for sharing with those of us who weren't lucky enough to get to go to the event. Love your background track and glad you had such a great time.

[VirgilGuitar]

John - thanks man - wish ya could have made it - from what I'm hearing, it's going to happen again!!!

[canajian]

Thanks Virg for sharing some great moments in time! look at all the happy faces! :-)

*****

[VirgilGuitar]

Gerry! Thanks man!

[kalacaw]

Top drawer stuff, Virgil! You've got a good eye for the camera. Kalacaw is impressed, and it takes a lot to impress that picky woman. :)

[VirgilGuitar]

Betty! Yer too phunneee!!! Thanks!

[RonanG]

Looks like it was something else Virgil! Maybe I'll make next years!

Ronan

[VirgilGuitar]

Ronan, you wouldn't want to miss this for the world! Thanks!

[ParadiseEarth1]

Great Bro... your music and the images of great happy peaceful people gives this video a dream-like feel to it... lovely stuff***** :^)

[VirgilGuitar]

Em, ToobStock WAS what dreams are mde of and if it was the same thing happenning in Australia, I would have paddled there.

[ParadiseEarth1]

It's great to be able to paddle, especially to Australia :^)... but based from what Ronan said, and our own big dreams, it's just going to get bigger -- exciting stuff! :^)

[VirgilGuitar]

I think he's right Emmanuel! Hopefully we can meet at the next one!!!

[anmoose]

Awesome shots, bro! 5 big ones! And I know what you mean. There was so much I wanted to capture but couldn't, because you just can't run a camera and be a part of it all at the same time. We mortal humans don't have enough arms. We should sue. Or demand clones.

Then again... One of each of us is probably more than enough...

See ya at ToobStock 2008...

and a half... LOL

[VirgilGuitar]

Moosie! Yeah, right, just when we thought you went missing, we actually DID find you WITH YOUR VIDEO CAM ROLLING!!!! LMAO

[strawbfan]

looks like it was a lot of fun

[VirgilGuitar]

strawb: Absolutely! We would have loved jamming with you by the fire on Fri night too!

[bfsongstv]

love the pics! I bet it was real fun!

bruno
