Florida Creatives – Creating a Community of Innovation

Location

Be ye photographers, videobloggers, people wanting to learn something about downtown Orlando? Are you interested in using your talents to showcase what the non-tourism-driven part of Orlando has to offer? The crew from OrlandoScene.TV will be taking the History Center's official walk of downtown, with dozens of historic stops all over the city.

We are asking photographers to come with us on a photowalking expedition, because our video piece will be about the photowalking trend and Downtown Orlando will be our setting.

At the end of the day we will be attending "Improv en Espanol" at SAK Comedy Lab. If you're interested in snapping some photos there, it will be their first anniversary doing the show on Saturdays, and I know they will appreciate it.

If you have any questions, please direct them to [info AT orlandoscene.tv]

Thanks to Jim Hathaway and Bill Couch for uploading these photos to our Florida Creatives Flickr Pool. I tagged a few of the pics with names in case you forgot, but I think you have to look at them on the actual Flickr page, so please do so.

Fantastic job everyone. Discussion leaders, photographers, participants (could have been more participating, honestly) and especially organizers. Orlando is putting itself on the map with events like this, and will only continue to gain the eyes of the world.

I can't wait for BlogOrlando on Friday. That's right, it wasn't last week. I heard that a few times where people thought BarCamp was the Sunday of BlogOrlando instead of the Sunday before.

Without performing an official audit, I'd say we had more than 20 people at the Happy Hour last night. When I first arrived, I proved again that the Crooked Bayou is a great home for our event, because I saw someone I know who wasn't even there for our event. This happens every single time we're there, and I just love the gravity that place has.

Some people have been leaving their comments over on the event announcement post, including a guy who didn't show up.

I have not been this tired nor this glad to be clean in a while; I really put my sweat into Florida Creatives today. I made a bunch of buttons with our new Florida Creatives logo on them and handed them out while I told people about the group. The main attraction, though, was how you could make your own buttons. People got very creative, from hand drawn art to magazine clippings, stolen Slurpee stickers and photobooth pics. My invention of the day was a button made of looseleaf paper for writing dry-erase messages.
