Mummers’ Guide to Fun from LindsayT on Vimeo.

The Philadelphia Mummers Parade occurs every New Years Day, and is as much an institution of the city as the Liberty Bell, Rocky, and sports fanatics. It’s also in trouble and could use help! Please visit www.SaveTheMummers.com and plan on coming next year!

For those of you not from Philadelphia, the Mummers Parade can be summed up as a combination of San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers, New Orleans’ Mardi Gras and a good ole’ fashion marching band parade.

Austin – It’s Still in Texas from LindsayT on Vimeo.

Join me for my first travel video in a series I hope to do over the next year as I embark on a 6 month around-the-world-trip. Before I set sail, I’ve been circling the US to see friends I haven’t seen in a while!

First up is Austin, Texas. I was there December 9th – 16th, and while I had been there once before, I saw the city with totally new eyes. It’s terribly charming, creative and inspiring. It’s also filling!  You can’t eat enough food there!

For that reason, my mom says I’ll never be a skinny girl because this video was all about the food. Even the signage was about food!

Playful Austin from Lindsay Tabas on Vimeo.

I started to put together my video on Austin yesterday. It should be my first “here’s what I see” in a series from my pending 6-month voyage. While I’m 75% finished with the more “reporter-like” video, I found myself compelled to set these bird shots to Bibio’s Weekend Wildfire. Once I started down that road, I ended up with this. It’s definitely experimental, but a friend of mine made a comment that I like quick transitions and short clips, so for this I slowed it down.

Is it any good? That’s for you to tell me.

A Biblio Social Experiment from Lindsay Tabas on Vimeo.

Philly NetSquared meets monthly to discuss how they can use technology for social change. For the December 2009 meetup, the group ran a “bibilo social experiment” by hosting a Book UNclub, where members bring books they find interesting, and hold impromptu discussions on the books the group found most desirable. Join the group as they mashup an Unconference with a traditional Book Club to discuss non-profits, Philadelphia, and using social media effectively.

California Lottery Training from Lindsay Tabas on Vimeo.

While I was in Southern California I had the pleasure of traveling to the beautiful town of Brea, California to participate in a 2.5 hour California lottery training course. I always want to learn new skillz (with a ‘z’), so here I combine my newly acquired video editing know-how with a short video on how to handle the lottery scratchers. Enjoy!
