[SouthTubeGathering]

Absolutely not. Please watch the t-shirt video for ordering information. Thanks so much for your interest and spread the word that t-shirts are available to order before the event but we do not have the resources to have them available for sell at the event.  Thanks again!

[Justinmazing]

Doing it now, thanx you rock!

[angelboku1]

Ya know I (as well as almost everyone else)really like the slogan of this event: "Where Everyone is Somebody".. Where little people just like me are as equally "important" as the yCelebrities. Well, I've changed my view on this. There is one yCelebrity attending who I feel should be almost like the Grand Marshall of this event... that amazing person is TJ! He's such an incredible young man!!! I know I'm personally going to feel very honored just to shake his hand!

[hmarty]

TJ is definitely going to have a place of honor! I know everyone feels the same way. HUGS!

[TUBEGRANNY]

You know it!

[TheWoodcreekFaction]

Thanks for the Info

[hmarty]

It's a pleasure. Hope you can join us! Ya'll come!

[BadAlbert]

That's pretty impressive!!

[hmarty]

Thanks, we sure hope you can join us! Ya'll come! HUGS

[BadAlbert]

If I can't come in person I'm hoping to be represented in some way :)

[SouthTubeGathering]

Awesome, you could find a youtuber to wear a shirt with your pic on it or something like that. hmarty :)

[neo1az]

What is the purpose of the site off YT? Thanks. :)

[SouthTubeGathering]

It's somewhat of a way to RSVP so we can get a head count and to inform ppl who might not have heard about the event to join us! Hope that helps. hmarty

[SouthTubeGathering]

Make sure you RSVP @ you tube meet up (dot) com!

[DebUSA]

I like how this video ends, "We'll see you at SouthTube, where everyone is somebody."

[SouthTubeGathering]

Yeah, I think that encompasses our original intent. Looking forward to meeting you! Marty

[ironfisteagleclaw]

What a great video. Well done my friend!

[TUBEGRANNY]

Looking forward to meeting you! :P

Tubegranny

[ironfisteagleclaw]

You too Granny!:)

[SouthTubeGathering]

Make sure you RSVP @ you tube meet up (dot) com!

[TUBEGRANNY]

I'll also be in disguise.

Tubegranny

[DebUSA]

TUBEGRANNY might be walking bow-legged by the time September 24th rolls around.

[DebUSA]

How do you know which floor you're gonna be on? If they're reserving a block of rooms for the SouthTube Gathering, do you think we'll all be on the same floor? How does that work?

[whatsnext]

Made my reservations today!!! Molly and I will be there Friday night!!!! Great Video Jim...

[hmarty]

Awesome! See you there! :)

[whatsnext]

Hey Hmarty---- I would love to help!! I'll be in there on Friday night... Got any assignments? Are you having a sign-in table/registration or anything? Let me know what I can do!~Ann

[hmarty]

Have you watched the "SouthTube Needs Volunteers" video? We have all kinds of needs and more will probably arise. Watch the video and email the yahoo account and in the subject line put what you would like to volunteer for. Right now we be's lookin for someone to carry Tubegranny's bags but she said she wanted some men naked from the waist up for that job!

[angelboku1]

I'm going to dress up like TubeGranny so that I can have my very own half naked man carry my luggage to my room for me!!! *giggle*

[hmarty]

HA HA HA That's an awesome idea! Love it!

[angelboku1]

Psst.. you can do it too.. we can be a convention of TubeGrannys and totally freak out the hotel workers even more! *evil angelic snicker*

[hmarty]

OMG, that is a hysterical idea. TubeGranny impersonators! LOL We should have a contest! You want to orgainze that? :)

[angelboku1]

LMAO.. now that's something I think I could pull off!!! If you're serious, just let me know!!

[SouthTubeGathering]

I think it's a fun idea and will make some great videos.

[angelboku1]

Then I'll have to get it organized.. *giggle* We'll talk and work out the details... btw... you've got mail! (and ty)

[oshutterup]

Great to hear your coming.. someone has to keep an eye on Jim! ;)

[CountryComesToTown]

I'm wearing a disguise. LOL

[hmarty]

Jim did you way you were coming as Rhett Butler? That's what somebody told me. I love me some Rhett Butler. :)

[CountryComesToTown]

Now Miss Scarlet don't give away a gentleman's secrets.

[hmarty]

No sir, I would never do anythank like that, no sirree! Mercy, now where did I put my headache tablets, I'm feeling all flushed!

[TUBEGRANNY]

I think Scarlet has other plans.. She's a fire ball when she's been a drinking... :P

[hmarty]

Shhh, Granny now you keep that up and you are gonna get Scarlett in some serious trouble. You know she is always the proper lady! <coughing>

[whatsnext]

Oshutterup I WILL be keeping an eye on Jim.... I don't want him to con me into a tiny car to sing a song :-)~ ann

[intosportz]

Congratulations on positioning this as an event where "everybody is somebody" rather than what seemed to be the self promotion and egofests of "As One" and "777."

Hats off for avoiding that.

[angelboku1]

I hope it's successfully executed and avoided at SouthTube! =/

[intosports]

Well, if you look at this video, you only see the facilities where the gathering will be held (which look great by the way), and hear a voice over. You don't see a bunch of (insincere) 20 somethings saying how awesome it is going to be "when we all come together as one!" This video has no attention whores in it. Just information. It's going to be in the South and I imagine will have a VERY different feel than SF or 777. Good luck in making it great!

[angelboku1]

I totally agree with you darlin... I just hope it remains a simple as it was intended to be... I think we all have that hope!

[annspade]

Nicely done! Talk about organized and informative. Nice visuals and details! Nice to find group rates! It would be great to go...

[hmarty]

CountryComesToTown aka Jim did a phenomenal job on this video. Hope you can join us.  HUGS

[BigRiggBlues]

Wow, this thing just got a lot more expensive. Are there other hotels/motels in the nearby area that we could stay at for cheaper rates? If we stay at another hotel, we won't have to pay extra to attend the Saturday evening event, will we?

[TUBEGRANNY]

You Should be able to come right over and party with the rest of us... I guess we should ask that, GOOD QUESTION!!!

[BigRiggBlues]

Thanks TubeGranny! I knew you'd be lookin' out for all of us.

[hmarty]

Thanks for the comment. Actually the rate for the room is only an additonal 12.00 per night. We are receiving "free" space to hold the event which we did not have previously so we really are coming out very well. If you need nearby accomodations, please do not hesitate to contact me and I can assist you. Remember there is also camping at Red Top Mountain! I think if I remember it's 25.00 a night. Just another option. :)

[bartolemeo]

Thanks for the great info and production :)

[TUBEGRANNY]

Hope you can join us!

[SouthTubeGathering]

[SouthTubeGathering]

You mean you don't wanna shack up with Tubegranny??

[479Lucy]

I dont know as I could keep up with her!

[SouthTubeGathering]

Please contact carolperez, she's looking for a roommate and I think she left a comment on the transportation video. Or check out her channel and send her a message. hmarty

[479Lucy]

Thanks Marty, you are the bomb!

[TUBEGRANNY]

[TJsMomma]

*Claps and jumps up and down* We made our reservation for Sat. night for our room! TJ is beyond himself with excitment! We have been in tears over here we just cant believe that we are actually going to be able to go! This is a dream come true for him, the first 'special' thing he has gotten to go and do since he was DXed last Sept. 30 with leukemia! God Bless you all! Thank you SO MUCH! As a parent there are no words to express how we are feeling! AMEN! THANK YOU AGAIN!

[hmarty]

It is going to be an honor to meet all of you. Cory is one of the finest people that I have ever met and your life will never be the same for having him become your friend! Much love and we are going to have Hats for TJ at the event! LOL :)))

[TJsMomma]

Ohh my we are just so happy that there arent words to even express it! A hats event? That sounds like a hoot! I know TJ is starting to work on some ideas of things he wants to do for a few 'certian' people....lol Hush my mouth! *Giggles*

[hmarty]

It's going to be great! HUGS to all of you!

[TUBEGRANNY]

YEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[TJsMomma]

TubeGranny plain and simple WE JUST LOVE YO ASS!

[CountryComesToTown]

We're so excited that ya'll are coming to SouthTube. I've got a stack of hats for TJ myself. Can't wait to meet you all. See you in September. -jim

[TJsMomma]

Jim, Thank you so much for helping us with this. TJ has never been so excited. I wish I had time to type out half of the reasons this means so much to him! You all just really have NO CLUE how much this means to him. Cant wait till Sept. HUGS

[SouthTubeGathering]

Make sure you RSVP @ you tube meet up (dot) com!

[hmarty]

That is funny and I don't think that will happen! Don't forget to find me and introduce yourself! :)

[TonyDi]

Jim I believe you have a career in tourism with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce if you want one. THAT was a GREAT video over-dub - most informative and very classy. Loved it. I AM SO there(I HOPE). Reservations HAVE been made for Fri-Sun. Looking forward to it. See you soon.

[CountryComesToTown]

That's great news TonyDi. I know everyone will be excited to meet you. Hey, where do I sign up for that Chamber of Commerce gig? LOL Thanks for the compliment my friend. We'll see you in September. -Jim

[Frequency100]

Bill.. glad to see you'll be attending also!

[TonyDi]

Yep can't wait to see the Tampa connection too..finally. Looking so forward to this. It's going to be a great time. Can't wait to meet BILLY, Tubegranny, Marty, Lemonette, Zip, PositiveSue, Paul - so many others. Good times a comin' soon.

[PastaBaby]

How will I get to the Sunday event if I don't have a car?

[TUBEGRANNY]

You can hitch a ride with me... :P

[PastaBaby]

Really? That would be much appreciated and is a determining factor of making the trip. I drive so rarely in NYC that I don't really want to drive much anymore.

[DebUSA]

I'd say that's going to be a concern of most of the attendees who fly to the event.

How's the traffic between the airport and the hotel? Some of the brave ones might want to rent a car.

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Pasta Baby. We'll make sure that everyone has a ride. Some people may want to rent cars just so they can do other things in Atlanta wile they are here. But, anyone who doesn't want to drive in Atlanta should not worry. We'll be happy to offer rides from the airport and to the Sunday event. -jim

[hmarty]

Yeah and I heard that you were heading up that committee! LOL We need to start ciruclating some type of list. PPL who need transport and ppl who can provide transport! :)

[ryydethis]

OMG!! You all are very patient with me. Im the lady on the other end of the phone. I can't beleive the phones are not rin.... errr gotta go!!!!

[TUBEGRANNY]

You'll need a DRINK before we're done with you....LOL

[egkstruggle]

OMG are you really??? This is Eric, i just gotten off the phone with ya :D hahah SWEEETTT

[musosf]

This is Mike - I just got off the phone with you too! You poor thing - we're all going to have to buy you a drink when we get there!

[CountryComesToTown]

You are awesome. Everyone is telling me how nice you've been on the phone. Thanks for everything. -Jim

[positivesue]

lol....Hope you're not the lady who had me on hold for over 30mins when I phoned from the U.K.....I won't be able to buy you a drink 'cos of my big phone bill:-)

[TUBEGRANNY]

[TUBEGRANNY]

Tubegranny

[positivesue]

Don't worry....It would have been someone on the night shift as it was 6.40am here in the U.K. :-)

[msyankee2u]
