The Winnies were organized by the entertaining and highly motivated team of Irina Slutsky (Geek Entertainment TV), Lan Bui and Bonnie Pierzina of NoodleScar, and Vu Bui of Vu Goes Vegan. They made sure

that the event was well funded, well attended and well lubricated by an open bar! Irina and Gary Vaynerchuk hosted the show and provided some structure to what turned out to be a delightful cascade of lunacy. From the ping-pong ball-spewing device that was intended to randomly dole out the names of attendees to come on stage and give their awards, to the humorous/accomplished/slightly disturbing performances, the evening’s entertainment was a fine representation of the anarchistic spirit that still permeates the medium. It ended with “Wingling,” that is to say, the crowd mingled, drank, danced and documented it all until the wee hours. We had a wonderful time, meeting some of our favorite vlog stars, seeing some old friends and sharing the love. The night was a who’s who of the vlogosphere. Big thanks to all the organizers, sponsors and attendees for making it possible!
Some of the other fine folks we were lucky enough to hang with this weekend include:
Steve and Zadi, of Epic-Fu
Ryan, of Ryanne Is Hungry
Jay, of Moments Showing
Eddie, of Geek Entertainment TV
Clintus McGintus, of I Do It Digital
