Dot Com Pho – CBC Documentary Edition

Im not sure how many readers are aware of this, but Im currently the subject of a documentary for CBC Television. As such, they are in Orange County to film a few days in my life, and that means attending Dot Com Pho!

The John Chow Story (working title) started a few weeks ago at Dot Com Pho Vancouver. CBC picked up the lunch tab to ensure a good turn out. Since Dot Com Pho Orange County is a lot bigger than Dot Com Pho Vancouver, no such bribery was required. Besides, the last time I offered a freebie to attend Dot Com Pho OC, only four people showed up.

We had a record turn out of 25 people squeezing into five tables for this edition of Dot Com Pho. Anyone is welcome to join us. Follow me on Twitter to find the time and location of the next one. We meet most Saturdays at the patio of Pho Ba Co in sunny Irvine, California.

In addition to the Dot Com Pho, I was also at Dot Com Cars and Coffee. Instead of combining the two events into one video like Ive done in the past, Ive decided to separate them into their own video. Enjoy!
