I missed a lot, but I got a taste of everything. I would have liked to have had more 1 on 1 time with folks- like the talk with Gary on Thursday night... But next time you're in LA, Mike, I'm totally THERE. We can descend upon Katie's house.
i was happy that some of the more subscribed youtubers showed up at the meetup. i have no bit rep on youtube...less subscribers than you guys...but i felt these "popular" people were very approachable and that was cool.
the all ages aspect of the event was NOT driven by YouTube corporate interests...in my work life i have seen many gifted kids applied to activities and many of these are making youtube videos. personally i am fascinated by the energy of these video makers and felt proud to have them at the gathering. i have watched some of their videos and they were doing what we all do...meeting their peers and favourites.
Hey Mike, I'm loving this series. How many more videos will there be?
Gary: Ugh! You shouldn't have brought up the Minneapolis gathering. I'm still kicking myself that I totally missed that, and I only live about an hour away!
i am sorry you guys had a bad experience at the gathering. i totally sympathize...in my organizational capacity i feel somewhat responsible but i did not know exactly how things would unfold until they did. i feel bad about that, but i also feel very bad that you guys were cool to when i first saw you at the gathering. : ((
Yes, I found it rude that they focused on the "celebs". Even with the tv interviews. Why not interview the folks in the crowd? Get to know why people post videos. Anyway, Love you guys. Great pillow talks. Smiley:D
It wasn't even just the 12/13 yr olds. Some how putting a young age on it seems to justify the behavior. Vidal had to know what he was saying. (isn't he a dj/host, something?) Awck...
The gathering was def bigger but I think because of the age spread.
ST was different because we were all together in the hotel. It def was more intimate in that sense.
I agree that the Saturday gathering at the Science Center really blowed for the most part... one of the only memorable parts was when Brian was speaking. I'm glad we got out of there afterwards and got some good food at the buffet. :)
Very interesting correlation between the website and the gathering and how the community was separate from the "stars." It really was like a live version of the site.
Interesting thoughts about the Gathering itself. That sounds just like YT in miniature :)

Yeah I was really shocked when they made the "real show" announcement during other peoples performance...and it was done several times...poor taste.

I got to stand next to the stars. They smelled like candy. I licked Dave Days. He tasted like puppies.
I don't know why I'm so friggin creepy. Sorry Mike.

I got to sit next to bnessel1973 for about 720 minutes. He smelled like burnt bacon wrapped in sweaty leather greased up in baby oil.

I wish I could have spent more time with both of you guys too. I felt the same about the Saturday. Thursday and Friday was much better.
