3rd Session

Me vs. Tree
This one did not turn out exactly as planned – no one showed up.
Nonetheless, I did learn a few lessons today about planning events for the internet set:
1. Do not schedule your event on the same day a major geek event is happening. Hello BarCamp LA!
2. Do not assume that the same people that previously attended your event will automatically do so again. Get people to RSVP. I didn’t ask anyone to do this, so thanks to a number of you who did (and mentioned BarCamp).
3. Training solo in a Santa Monica park on beautiful day is a nice way to spend a morning.
I ended up doing my regular workout sans punching bag, so I used the tree pictured above. Thank you Mr. Tree. See you guys in 2 weeks!

Second Meetup. Still No Casualties.

Bunny-ear'd. Note the Magic and Firefox T-shirts.
Great times at our second meetup. We had Mike Outmesguine from Wi-Fi Toys, Mystery Mike (didn’t get his last name and Mystery Mike sounds cool), Lala Fastwater from Tiki Bar TV, Sean Bonner from Metblogs LA and Dan Tischler from BBC America. After 2 hard hours learning the jab, cross, hook, uppercut, roundhouse kick, push kicks and spinning side kick, we finished off with some light sparring. It was the first time sparring for Dan, Mike O and Lala and they were truly awesome. I have the bumps to prove it.
We’ll be doing it again in 2 weeks, so get ready.
