MacGathering & SoHo Tech Show coming up in LA

Just a reminder for all you Southern California boys and girls that the third annual MacGathering & SoHo Tech Show is coming up in LA in mid-May. This regional conference offers seminars on a raft of topics, from podcasting to photography, graphics, audio, and video. And none other than Sinbad is hosting the keynote/show.

The instructor/speaker line-up is pretty impressive for a regional conference. It includes a number of Mac luminaries and authors, among them Victor Cajiao of the Typical Mac User Podcast [iTMS link]; Andrew Shalat, author of Mac Design Out of the Box; Shelly Brisbin, author of The MacAddict Guide to Living the iLife; and Jeff Foster, author of After Effects and Photoshop: Animation and Production Effects for DV and Film. There's a special bonus panel discussion on podcasting, featuring some of the top Southern California podcasters, including my favorite Adam Christianson of MacCast [iTMS link].

MacGathering takes place at the Beverly Garland's Holiday Inn in North Hollywood on Friday and Saturday May 19-20. Prices are pretty reasonable. Check them out on the registration page. Don't overlook the downloadable coupon at iPod Garage that gets you a better price.

Sinbad to keynote MacGathering Tech Show in California

You thought S. Jobs' keynotes were da' bomb? Imagine sitting down for a keynote address by none other than comedian "Isn't he a basketball player?" Sinbad, the ten-foot-tall star of classics like Houseguest and First Kid. Sinbad will deliver the keynote at this year's MacGathering Tech Show on Friday, May 19th, the first day of the show. You can download yourself an animated version of last year's Sinbadnote (free from show-sponsor iPod Garage) here (zip).

According to the release I was sent, MacGathering is a Mac-focused event in Southern California that "will feature evening socializing opportunities as well as daytime events." It notes "The Friday evening MacMixer™ is an excellent opportunity for attendees to meet and mingle," and that "various Apple-using celebrities, as well as luminaries from the Apple community, are expected to be in attendance."

MacGathering takes place at the Beverly Garland Hotel in N. Hollywood, California, on May 19th and 20th, and will feature an expo and various seminars. Check out their website for more details.
