Visiting With Eric Rice

I had the pleasure of visiting Eric Rice at his new digs and got to see first hand how he magically transforms his home-office into a great studio. Always the teacher, Eric shares numerous tips, tricks and techniques that he uses to make media. He even whips it out for a big surprise at the end.

Surprise Visit

Eric Rice stopped by the Digital Dojo today. What a great surprise.

House of Shields

house-of-shieldsI mentioned earlier that Alicia and I went up to Silicon Valley and San Francisco last week to attend our friend Dave Toole's 50th birthday bash and to catch the Eric Rice Roadshow.

The roadshow was at our favorite San Francisco drinking establishment: Schlomo's House of Shields.

Eric Rice Roadshow: San Francisco

ericericeAlicia and I caught up with the Eric Rice Roadshow in San Francisco last week.  Just a week after BlogHer, I got to see Eric, Rene, Shawn, Chris and Schlomo again and we got to meet Eric's cohorts Josh and Tony.

The roadshow was great.  Alicia and Rene drew portraits on napkins, while a small band played upstairs in Schlomo's bar.  Photographers and videoheads were running around snapping pics and vids of the band and everything else (Eric has the coolest equipment by far - great video and audio).

I really liked this setting as it was very small and laid back, giving a chance for newbies like Alicia and I to get to hang, learn and play with others who are interested in creating, sharing and collaborating on different forms of new media.

So, what do vloggers and podcasters and creatives do after a roadshow meetup?  Go out for breakfast at 1am of, of course.  We all went over to a great little dinner over on Church Street (near Market, I think).  Then back outside for a smoke break and some parting last words.

Here's a great little moment (well, about two minutes) where Shawn, Rene and Eric are talking about videoblogging workshops, videobloggers with unusal names (Have you ever noticed that both Eric Rice and Zadi Diaz have first and last names that use the same letters?)  Strange.  I never noticed that before.

I love the excitement in Shawn's voice as he talks about teaching videoblogging related workshops.  So many videobloggers love to participate in meetups, workshops and presentations.  It's great.
