I hadn’t checked out Songbird in a long time, but maybe it’s time to finally give it a look.  Flock?  Well, maybe.  Gotta see if I can get a couple extensions to work with it, but if I can–I might.

I my post on March 17 about DemoCampVictoria01, I mentioned that I might have some schwag to bring and, yes there will be schwag.  I have some b5media stickers (a few not a ton), some aideRSS t-shirts and honestly I don’t know what goodies are coming from Toronto from the b5media nerve centre–but I know I’m getting a swanky new b5 t-shirt.

DemoCampVictoria01 is at 5:30 PM, 834 Johnson St. (Juliet Living Demo Space, a.k.a. the OLD peacock billiards place).

Also coming up is the Victoria stop of the VC Roundtable led by Rick Segal.  We’re hosting Rick in the Garden City on April 21st.  It is from 8-10 AM at the Waddling Dog Pub on the Pat Bay Highway (if you’re from here, you know where I’m talking about).

Space is limited to 25 people so sign up now through Eventbrite for the Victoria session.  And thanks to Mark Lise for finding the Waddling Dog as the spot!

Can’t wait until he makes it out here to Western Canada (Victoria, specifically).  Rick is an awesome guy and I’ve always been flattered that he knew who I was over two years ago at the first MESH conference.  Since then I’ve been able to chat with Rick occasionally, and yeah, he gets it.

Rick says on his blog that to sign up all you need to do is to email rick at jlaventures dot com with the word roundtable in the subject line.

Hey Rick, need a roadie?
