I’ve been helping a friend get Creative Mornings going here in Seattle and we held our first event last week. It was a fair amount of work to make this whole thing happen, but fortunately I met the wonderful Bryan Zug and he continues to be instrumental in making our events possible – Thank you VERY much, Bryan.
Brian’s firm, Bootstrapper Studios turned around the cut on our first event’s video in record time and it’s posted here in HD for you to check out. Make sure to mark your calendar for our next event on December 9, 2011 – it’s going to be a lot of fun!
