Oakland Restaurant Blog - Oakland, California

There have been YouTube Meetups, but never one in America's most exciting city, Oakland, California. The Oakland YouTube Meetup at Lake Chalet at 1520 Lakeside Drive in Oakland, and is on Saturday, December 12th 2009 from 2 PM to 5:30 PM. What's the plan?  To meet, eat, and video!  But the idea is to meet YouTubers from all over and especially Oakland, San Francisco, and Northern California.   But it's also a party for non-YouTubers to learn more about how YouTube and YouTubers can help promote their business; you learn by watching us in action and mingling!  It's also a YouTube contest with prizes for the person who uploads their video the fastest.  Join me and other YouTubers like Sarah Austin for a cool event in a really awesome place: Lake Chalet: Visit our Facebook page here .

From Thrillist: Only after you've got a couple well loved hits under your belt is it safe to introduce your fans to your wacky side -- after all, without "Single Ladies" and "Crazy In Love", there's no way you'd be ready for Sasha Fierce's edgy jelly. Prudently applying that strategy to the restaurant game, The Lake Chalet. - MORE .
