First, just a friendly reminder that Tuttle Club LA will meet on the 28th of August at the Library in Long Beach (our usual spot). ANYONE even remotely curious is welcome to show up. Chances are, we’ll have something interesting to talk about. Mobile phones, social media, film, music… hell, we even had a Rabbi show up last week (and I got a Google Voice invite). That’s how we roll
The Tuttle LA Think Tank
Secondly, I think we’ve just hit a milestone without anyone noticing. The very first Tuttle LA collaborative project was completed 2 weeks ago. Tour Small TV launched last week. It happens to be a web show I’m putting out. Vaughan conjured an amazing graphic logo and Francine whipped up a magical blog (as she does). It’s even hosted on Jeb’s cousins servers. Now that’s a team effort!
I know Tuttle London is starting to do proper consulting which is a fantastic idea. We in LA are a long way from attempting that, but if you’re working on a web or mobile related project and would like some input or advice, why not stop by and see if we can help?

In observance of the 4th of July, Tuttle Club LA is going to take a week off. That means no Tuttle in Long Beach on July 3rd. We’re going to resume our normal schedule on July 17th. Oh Yes, that reminds me! July 17th…. we’ll be hosting a very special guest from across the pond, the very lovely Mario Cacciottolo. He’s going to want to aim a camera at you and snap a few pics of you holding a sign of something someone once told you. Please be prepared if you’d like to take part. I hear he’s very impatient and prone to violent outbursts I kid.
Also wanted to throw and idea out there: how about let’s step Tuttle up a bit and hold it every week starting in August or September? Something to think about. So from Francine, Jeb, Al, Vaughan, Jen, and myself (did I miss someone?) have a great 4th!
@jebbrilliant and @1indienation find Tuttle Club LA relaxing
Tuttle Club LA is definitely picking up steam. We’ve gone past the getting to know everyone stage and are actually mixing in a bit of work as we meet. Francine has been working on a few of our blogs and Vaughan has been whipping out logo’s and avatars. It’s actually quite nice to work on projects with each other. Of course, it’s not all nose to the grindstone, we have a lot of fun. There’s a dizzying array of conversations you can dip in and out of plus you can marvel at the sheer volume of techy-gadgets that end up on the tables. If you get bored of that, we can always stick someone in the message chairs and laugh as they get pummeled (the message chairs are in fact cleverly disguised torture devices).
We LOVE it when new people show up, It’s open to everyone you know. Why not come down and see what it’s all about?
