Mac Book Pro by Yo! Venice

Here are the basic principles that Yo! Venice was founded on:

1. Don’t be mean just for meanness sake. We are here to celebrate the community. If dinner someplace sucked, go there two more times before you take the time to write that it sucks. A lot of people read this blog and it isn’t fair to slam businesses based on a one time experience. Everyone and everyplace has their off days. More often than not, when we experience some horrible meal or bad service, we just don’t go back and don’t blog it here. All of that noted, fair and just warnings about businesses in Venice can be acceptable … just not personal vendettas.

2. Don’t make posts about yourself, your own business or your good friend’s business without explaining your relationship in the post. We will probably be able to see right through that ruse. And besides, it’s nice to hear about a business from the owner – it helps people feel connected to their neighborhood.

3. That is about it. Fair and just, trying not to criticize just to be a critic.

    Hi
    I wonder if you can help me.
    I am a TV producer from Venice working in New York. I am trying to track down Sharon Jacobucci, the parking attendant. I saw on youtube that you did a piece with her, I am currently going into production with a show she maybe interested in.
    I would be very grateful if you could pass my details onto her or give me her details.

    Kind regards

    Dear Bret: Great Blog! My company is the PR agency for Marina del Rey and I was wondering if I could also send releases to you about your neighboring community? I have two that are slated: One for the Annual Holiday Boat Parade and the other for the New Walking Tours that incorporate the Venice Canals.

    I look forward to hearing from you. With kindest regards, Brian

    Keri – Bret,
    I really enjoy your site and I am now a regular reader. You can count on my hit at least once a week so I can follow what is happening just under me (Im in Santa Monica).

    Thanks,
    Seth

    What date is the Venice Canals parade this year 2008?

  • 8 Bret // Nov 17, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    Canal residents don’t like us posting until the day of the event because it gets waaaay too crowded … You can post stuff like this in the forums tho!

    Hi,

    I am mentoring two teenagers and I would like to help pay for surfing lessons for them. Venice beach seems to be the closes and most convenient beach to where I live – Los Feliz. I was wondering if you have any sources I can look into.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I was wondering who I could talk to about adding an event to the website. It’s a film screening of an Irish Surfing documentary WAVERIDERS for charity in March.

    Let me know, thanks!

    Hello Brett and Keri,

    I would like to ask your help with something. It has been brought to my attention that someone may have posted on your site and attributed their post to me by signing it with my name. I would ask you kindly that if there are any posts claiming to be me that do not come from this account I just signed up for you either highlight that fact or remove my name from it.
    Sincerely
    Jim O’Callaghan

    I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to have a lost/found section on this page for pets and things. Perhaps it’s here and I just haven’t found it yet? I love your blog and check it out almost everyday!

    @ bluecloud: it is already here:
