The success of an event like PodCamp San Antonio: Numero Dos (PCSA2) is no accident. It takes a core group of folks to make it happen. The Organizers dedicated their time, ideas and resources to bring it all together. Folks like:

Micheal De Leon: He along with Scott M. created our logo for this years event. Michael was also the creative force behind the PCSA2 shirt, badge, blog site and guide. The fact that he was working 2 jobs and keeping up with the Defending Champion San Antonio Spurs for his podcast meant his time was extremely valuable. Thank you Michael for giving up on more sleep to pull it all together.

Alysan Delany-Childs: Once again Alysan brought her media expertise to the table and was able to facilitate the promotion of PCSA2 via Press Releases and Video Releases. When we shot the Podcast Pickle Tour of San Antonio, Alysan was part of the small but nimble crew.  We braved the inclement weather to bring folks a wacky but fun video that showcased the friendly folks and sightseeing gems of San Antonio. Thanks Alysan for going along with all the zany ideas.

Shaine Mata: Although Shaine lives in the Rio Grande Valley, he is as active a member of the group as anyone who lives here.  He was the one who got things going back in March by posting to the blog, creating PCSA2 groups on Facebook, Upcoming and Pownce. He was present at all the Skype planning sessions and did all he could to help promote the event. Even though was unable to attend PCSA2 due to the early arrival of his beautiful daughter IO Evangeline, he was there in spirit. Thanks Shaine for all your contributions and being  such an important part of the group.

Todd O’Neill: When we were looking for ways to promote PCSA2 we thought video might be fun. Thankfully Todd didn’t run in the opposite direction when we asked if he would be our videographer. He filmed the fun promo video and then had the patience and energy to direct and shoot the Pickle Video on a gray and drizzly day. He has such a fun style of working with the folks around him. You can’t help but feel his positive energy. The work that Todd did shooting the video was complimented by the production that John D. Navarrete did on the Pickle Tour of San Antonio. Thank you Todd for jumping in with both feet, taking the vision and making it a reality.

Richard Galvan: The reason that we don’t have to worry about the A/V during PCSA2 is because Richard is in control.  The mics, mixer, video, projector all work seamlessly because having him in charge ensures things will work. It is a huge blessing to have someone who can take different A/V bits and pieces from different places and make them work as one. Thank you Richard for being such an audio dynamo.

Special Thanks to:

Leslie Baldwin for participating in all the planning session and being the one to record all the PCSA2 Teaching Sessions.

Carol Turner for video recording all the main room sessions

Nathan Lott for participating in all the planning session and helping to spread the word.

Rocket Ron for lending Richard a hand with the A/V setup and for the loan of his camera and wireless mic.

Gary Leland for allowing the Pickleman to make the journey to San Antonio for the videos. Also thanks to Jonathan C. for bringing the Pickleman to life. It was a whole lotta fun!

And finally to my good friend Scott M. who created the first ever Podcamp Rap song and lent his talents in the creation of this years PodCamp San Antonio logo.

Right alongside the Organizers are the Sponsors and Donors whose contributions make it possible to hold PCSA2.  I do believe our venue was like no other. Where else can you have Lucy and Desi the Toucans and their Iguana buddies be a part of the event?  El Tropicano was definitely a unique and strictly San Antonio type of venue. We were able to have shirts and badges for attendees to take home because of Sponsor and Donor contributions.

Blip.TV, Alan Weinkrantz and Company, 3Screens.net and Parent Driven Schools were our sponsors for PodCamp San Antonio: Numero Dos. Thank you for having the vision to support an event like this in San Antonio. The connections made, ideas created, minds that were opened and the folks that were introduced to the UnConference concept was made possible by your generous support. We appreciate you!

A big Texas sized thanks to the individual donations made by folks who believed in what we were doing and wanted to see a second PodCamp happen. It was you who put us over the top!

And last but certainly not least, to the Attendees and Presenters:

THANK YOU for not only believing in PodCamp San Antonio: Numero Dos but for doing what you could to make it such an amazing experience.
