I am not old enough for this to be happening to me. Age is just a number. Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you if you’re young at heart.

Kill me. Or, at least stab me in the neck with a fork.

1987 mean anything to you? Anyone? Iran-Contra? “Tear down that wall”? Chunnel? Jim Bakker? The FDA approval of AZT? I still haven’t found what I’m looking for? Swimming to Cambodia? Raising Arizona? The Princess Bride? (also Ishtar, but just ignore that). Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me? The Simpsons?

2007. 1987. 2007. 1987. Get it yet? See the connection? No? Anyway…

I’m actually not a big My Chemical Romance fan, but I respect any band willing to mock themselves and their audience so early in their career. Right on. And I completely understand that their new album speaks to some kids in much the same way Nirvana spoke to those before them (and I didn’t get it) and The Smiths spoke to me (which I TOTALLY got). Time marches on, and perky glum rock marches right alongside it. But music magazines are making this record out to be some sort of musical second coming–albeit a snarky musical second coming in glammy Sgt. Pepper-wear– but, still! They’re comparing My Chemical Romance to Queen! Seriously!

If My Chemical Romance is the new Queen then…well…I don’t know. Maybe I should record an album with Rob Cavallo and I’ll be hailed as the greatest new voice in Rock.

Or Rick Rubin! How about Rick Rubin! All the cool kids are doing it…

Jennifer Holliday: Accept No Substitutes.

Can you imagine performing this number eight times a week? Bet not.

The purest Broadway Magic available. Unearthing gems like this could make a fanatical YouTuber out of me.

(oh yeah, my computer is back in my arms again, naked as the day it was born. I have some serious rebuilding to do this week. All the video projects I was working on were lost, so for now enjoy the Jennifer Holliday!)

I’ve been home for four days now and I’m STILL riding out my Vloggercon “high”…I just can’t shake it. It was just that fabulous. It was so overwhelming and I met so many fantastic, creative & passionate people and I learned so much. And I met all the vlogmen that I’ve been crushing on for ages! Y’all know who you are.** Although I was so excited to go, I was a little bit nervous right up until the last minute. What a strange opportunity: to finally meet people you feel you already know! Do you run up and hug them ? (yes) Do you gush about how much you love their work? (yes, although I got all shy and forgot to do this 80% of the time) I was quite comforted (and slightly surprised) to find that everyone was exactly as I expected. Everyone I met in the Videoblogging community is representing themselves as-is. No cover-ups. No nasty surprises. I wish all folks deported themselves with such honesty.

Ironically, I didn’t do all that much videotaping! I didn’t even take nearly as many stills as I should have–I was far too busy soaking it all in. I did manage to capture some moments from a few of the sessions I attended, and a small sample of those can be seen here. Jay Dedman, Jan McLaughlin, Dave Toole, Ryanne Hodson, Linda, Bev Sykes, Josh Leo, Dave Huth, Susan Kitchens, Jennifer Myronuk, Jen Simmons and Juan Antonio del Rosario are all here. For me, the whole point of Vloggercon was summed up by Jay in three little words…you’re supposed to go watch the video now to find out what they are.

The Vloggercon karaoke video is another animal altogether…and it’s coming tomorrow…

**ok, so, if you don’t know, that would be Josh, Dave, Anthony, Carl, Josh, Chris, Jay and Chuck and yes: I am fully aware that most if not all of you are spoken for. I’m not a tramp…I just really think y’all are the coolest and cutest dudes around…and that’s just the GUYS!! We’d be here all day if I had to list all my gay crushes, too!

I didn’t make this video, but I sure wish I had. If you’re a Simpsons fan, or even if you aren’t, you gotta love this. You can either click on the “Play” prompt in the center of the picture and watch it right here, or click on the YouTube logo and and go see it there. Watch it while you can, before Fox’s lawyers get ahold of it…
