Houston You Tube Event June 15, 2008 in front of Edwards Cinema

Here are a few video clips I took on June 15th at the You Tube gathering here in Houston. It was at the outdoor mall plaza at Edwards Cinema off of I-10. It was a small impromptu event. There was maybe a month to organize and promote it. We had a couple of dozen people getting together around noon and it went on until about 6:00pm. The crowd peaked at around 100 or so and gradually tapered off. There were a few hundred people though there if you count the people who were just there shopping. We got all kinds of people- the star struck fans who couldn't believe they were actually seeing real live 'You Tube people' in person, we had the die hard You Tubers (like HappySlip!) , the amateurs, (like myself) , and the perplexed mall walkers who were wondering why a bunch of people were all gathered out in the hot sun with cameras and matching T-shirts! This being in Houston during the summer, it was very hot and humid. I'm not sure what the temperature was, but the heat was beating down. We stayed in the shade and it was still hot. The out of town people who came to the event were melting! The restaurants there were nice though, and they let us in to cool off, and gave us as much free iced tea and cold water we needed once they knew what we were doing. Despite any factors working against us (notoriously hot Houston weather chief among them) we had a great time meeting other YouTubers, getting to mingle, showing off our talents, playing with cameras and promoting ourselves. I hope to participate in another one sometime! This was a lot of fun.
