Just a few weeks late on what I will consider my first real
craic vlogumentry! It’s been real hectic putting up the web site and editing videos. Look for future posts to happen more timely.
The Mummers Parade in Philadelphia has been a New Years Day tradition since 1899 I believe. A few of my friends have been going every year since 1982 and we’ve picked up several more craic heads along the way. The real treat are the String Bands, 17 this year, each with about 45-55 members. During the rest of the year they travel the world playing their unique brand of Philly Folk. Originally consisting mostly of banjos and accordians, the sound has grown big on saxaphones. Earlier in the parade are the Wenches, the Froggy Carr group in particular with 600 plus.
I used a Rode shotgun mic which worked quite well with all the noise around me! Enjoy!
I went out to the Podcast Media Convention last November to talk smack and have craic with Andrew Coffey of StreetIQ. It was a great party, meeting the likes of Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson of TWIT, Michael Geoghegan, Dan Klass and Todd Cochrane (who was hosting the Awards ceremony). Bought both of your Podcasting books by the way! I had no real motivation to get a vlog going until seeing what Ben Williams and Yeast Radio were doing with video that weekend. Both had uploaded video to their sites reporting from the Expo. I loved it and I’m in too. And thankyou Adam Curry for all the booze we drank at your informal pool party. Jimmy likes to crash a good craic! Just thought I’d toss up a quicky vlog of the Awards where TWIT and Adam get their awards. Quality a bit lame but I’m still learning Wordpress, iMovie, working full time. Thanks for dropping in!
