Loren Feldman Coming to mesh

By mesh news

It took some serious negotiating but we managed to convince Loren Feldman, one of the Web’s leading, most outspoken and funniest video bloggers, to be a panelist at mesh. He list of demands included the following:

Chilled Grey Goose backstage at all times.
KFC big buckets, white meat only.
A bowl of M&M’s on the panel table with all the green ones removed.
I would like to keep the bathrobe from the hotel.

We got him to back away from everything except the KFC but added a box full of Timbits so he’s a happy man…and so are we!
