SMCLA + SMBLA Meet the Bloggers

On Tuesday night, I moderated the Blogger Panel at the Social Media Club Los Angeles and Social Media Breakfast Los Angeles Holiday Party, benefiting Invisible People. Thanks to the sponsors, the teams at SMCLA and SMBLA, event coordinator AJ Feuerman, and everyone who attended. There was good food, great friends, and spirited conversation. We had a blast!

Earlier this week I posted a Write On Q&A with panelists Charlie Capen, How to Be a Dad; Curvy Fashionista Marie Denee; Jessica Gottlieb; and Brigham Yen, DTLA Rising, along with blogger/publicist AJ Feuerman. Here are some of the tips tweeted during the panel:
