California Anniversary Trip: Part 3: TWiT Party In Petaluma

Part 3 of my trip report. Other parts posted so far: Part 1 | Part 2

What does a geeknerd couple do for fun on their anniversary trip? Go to Petaluma to visit the TWiT studios, of course!

Jeff's been a longtime fan of Leo Laporte and the TWiT network, and he introduced me to these great tech podcasts.

Leo and his team recently moved to a new location, and the celebratory open house coincided with our trip, yay!

Everyone was super-friendly and welcoming, and we wandered around watching Leo's live podcasts being recorded as well as checking out the new digs.

Here's the chat room moderator crew:

And fun paraphernalia:

Even Robert Scoble made an appearance (the fellow in the glasses below):

I also got to introduce myself to Iyaz Akhtar, the co-host of Tech News Today. Iyaz was in my very first Google+ Hangout (he played guitar!) but I didn't recognize him then.

And we met a very nice / fellow geeknerdy couple, who sat beside us in the studio audience:

If you're at all tech-minded, you should definitely check out TwiT.tv. Leo and others do a ton of tech-related shows, including iPad Today, this WEEK in TECH, MacBreak Weekly, All About Android, Windows Weekly, The Tech Guy, Security Now and This Week In Google.
