General Update Time!

Today marks the 2 months left point till N12 hits! Seemed as good a day as any to catch everyone up on what’s going on.

The Kickstarter funding, which was incredible and really made it so this year could happen, will finish and fund in the next couple of days. We’d originally planned to have tickets on sale today for general admission to N12, but because some of the Kickstarter reward levels included a choice between tickets and a DVD, we have to get that all figured out this week before the tickets go live. We don’t wanna oversell and have that mess to deal with of course.

We expect that to take a few days, and we’re aiming to have tickets up a week from today. (That’s April 30th, 2012). At least that’s the plan. If it changes, we’ll make sure an let everyone know!

A few reminders: Keep your eyes on the N12 forums, as they have all sorts of great stuff regarding surrounding events, community plans, hotel and rate info, among other things. Also, follow Scott on Twitter for the latest and greatest. And as always, keep your eye on the site for updates and such.

Things are going smoothly. Concert is all set up, food vendors are all locked in, swag is coming together, and prizes are piling up. Not to mention all the great prep going forward for the panels and stuff you’ll see on the big day.

A live chat with Scott about Nerdtacular 2012

UPDATE: It happenend! If you were not able to come, you can download the MP3 right here, or subscribe to the mega feed on iTunes for the file as well.

I’ve been promising that I would take some time, sit down on camera and stream a live Q & A with those planning to attend Nerdtacular, or even those who are still on the fence. Give everyone a chance to ask questions, learn more about the event, accommodations, plans, costs, timelines, etc.

Well, the time has come. And that time is:

Saturday, March 17th, 2012. (That’s THIS coming saturday). At 6pm PST / 7pm MST / 8pm CST / 9pm EST.

Scott and others will stream live at that time, for about an hour or so, and answer as many questions as possible. All questions are accepted. Examples include: “How much are tickets?”, and “will Randy bring his epic beard with him, or leave it at home?”…you get the idea. :)

Where will this stream happen? VIDEO AND CHAT will be RIGHT HERE.

We will also post the entire thing recorded on the Frogpants Podcast Mega feed so those who can’t come can listen to it after the fact. Sound good? Good! See you then!

The N’11 Photo and Video Roundup!

Nerdtacular 2011…holy crap, that was fun. Seems like it happened just last week. Wait! It did! And we have photo and video proof!

I can’t thank Bill Doran enough for the great photo and video work he did at the event. He is really talented, and such a nice dude to boot. I really hope he keeps coming to this thing for as long as he’ll have us.

And now, on to the photos and videos! Here is a BIG Flickr group with most of the photos from that day.

I will embed the three main video edits right here:
