Yesterday I raised money for San Francisco Sex Information by volunteering to work the main gate for LoveFest. I drank lots of champage (my b-day weekend), took lots of photos and videoblogged eight short films. My favorite pics and a fave video are after the jump, and you can see my whole album here. Watch all the videos in order for the maximum effect — go here and start at #1. Some images are NSFW and there is drinking in the video, so don’t click if these things bug you.

* Footnote: my personal web site Tiny Nibbles had a server attack today and is down. :( I’m working to get it back up, hopefully by tomorrow morning if I can recover all files and get my blog reinstalled– and the work now means leaving my crappy old host behind, a total move to Laughing Squid (where I belong anyway). All the love in the world goes to Laughing Squid for talking me off the ledge this afternoon!

Yesterday I attended the sold out Vloggercon 2006, a yearly videoblogging conference — and I had a blast! It was unlike any conference I’ve ever been to; it may have been similar in community indymedia vibe to Webzine 2005 (and in the same location), but I didn’t see too many familiar faces because people had hopped on planes from around the world (I met people from Holland, Australia, many parts of Canada, and even Utah) just to be there, learn, meet people and connect. We are the media, indeed. It’s the friendliest conference I’ve ever been to. And no doubt it’ll be one of the best documented, as well.

A recap (with gossip), a few of my photos, and link to a video I shot of Bre Pettis‘ presentation, after the jump.
