Meeting Leo Laporte at Sydney Airport
Sunday, April 6th, 2008
This month has started with a high when I was lucky enough to meet Leo Laporte at Sydney Airport on Tuesday during a stopover on his way to Tasmania.
Leo was on his way to Tasmania as part of the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Adventure tour with a bunch of world class photographers and as a spur of the moment thing posted a note on pownce about a meetup for fans at Sydney Airport.
Now Leo didn’t think that anyone would show up. After some confusion about the location of the Starbucks, a group of us finally located Leo, sitting in front of the Velocity bar in Terminal 3.
It was fantastic finally meeting a person whom I’ve followed on TV and online for so long and he is such a nice guy in person.
There was approx 15 people there and Leo was quite surprised that we all showed up and was more than willing to have his picture taken with all of us.
I have to tell you that this was one of those moments in a person’s life where I’ll never forget and cant believe that I had the chance to meet him. In addition I also met a number of fellow Australian TWiT fans (I thought that I was the only one) and I hope to have further interactions with more Aussie TWiT’s.
Thanks Leo and fellow TWiT’s !
