What a very entertaining experience we had at VidCon. While it was quite difficult on the way to the hotel, be it the 10 hour train ride, the death ridden cab driver, or the intense lines checking in, the conference was hands down the most intense thing I have ever experienced. We had the luxury of staying at the hotel of the convention so luckily everything was in hands reach if we ever wanted to do anything.

Vidcon Day 1 Roundup
After what seemed like an eternity on the train ride to Los Angeles, and a cab driver that seemed to want to kill Kyle and myself, we finally made it to the Hyatt Regency Plaza Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles for the amazing convention known as Vidcon.
The sightings of these “YouTube phenomenons” were very frequent and very fun to find- it was like playing a dulled down version of “Where’s Waldo” with Waldo circled on more than 90% of the pages. Our first “meet-up” was with Justine Ezarik (iJustine) and Michael Buckley (Whatthebuck) in a random hallway just talking to convention goers. After chatting it up a bit, we decided to go check out some of the booths and see what on Earth could go on at a convention based around YouTube.
