Pip Goes to the Youtube Office in San Bruno

[gcastro44]

i live in south san francisco, about 5 min from youtube. i remember when they started and they did their first advertisements to my college in the area. they encouraged us to upload any videos and post em.

[Pippilly]

@gcastro44 That's a story for the archives! So did you post any videos or were you leery? Thanks for the comment!

[gcastro44]

@Pippilly My friend actually posted one while i was in his dorm eating in the background. I was a freshman in college. It was the early winter of 05... there was only like 60 videos or so and very primitive. But it's come a long way. That friend went on to work for a small company in san francisco known as twitter a couple of years after that.

[Pippilly]

@gcastro44 I'd watch videos people sent me in 05. I didn't make it on the actual site until 06. I remember seeing the from page for the first time. Mr Pregnant, Renetto, Nalts etc lol I wished I had been here in the very early days.

Now Twitter is a building I haven't snook in yet lol Something tells me I wouldn't get past the security! hhahahaa

[RichKilla86ers]

the YT building used to be Gap

[mutinyvizier]

60 non-productive queers sitting on their asses in San Bruno, who are going to cost Google upwards of a billion in monetary damages.

Google should immediately drop Youtube like a hot potato in the interests of its shareholders!

[PreshPromAsia]

same lol

[brandonw626isback]

I live 4 blocks away from ythq

[SanBskate]

i walk by the youtube buildings like everyday. i live a few blocks away so i guess i never saw them as being very exciting. maybe me and my friends will go check them out sometime, thanks for the inspiration.

[1NOKZ]

san bruno, where my granny live! woo!!

[saucysalsera]

Hmmm... Has YouTube ever created an event where they (the members of the company) get to meet the people who's lives have catapulted into fame or notoriety. (Or at least, the youtubers they thought were cool?)

[xesiria]

interesting... so there was things u see but, could not show. huh

[favees]

Ahh...meant to say somthinhg else!!!

Luved the journey part. Enjoy nothing mor than jus wandering travelling round London (with a point lol) would luv to visit an american city:D

[Pippilly]

Hi! I just saw your comments here, thanks so much. Where are you? Traveling is just the best and I hope you make it overseas one fine day.

[favees]

Dont mind sayinng lol home is Acton West London round the corner is HMP Wormwood Scrubs and home looks out onto Scrubs Heath.

But stayin Plaistow which aint so bad but not home:(

[favees]

Lol there's lots of questions i'd like to ask!!!

[devtrash]

No cameras at Youtube? That's like no dogs at a dogfood factory!

[Pippilly]

It was ALL tech.. the bits and bytes of Youtube lol

[lazymornings]

that was cool,so did you phone ahead or just walk into the building.i wanna go and have a look around.i hope you enjoyed yourself,you looked happy anyway.

[Pippilly]

It was very quiet actually. If I had time I would have gone to the Google office as well. Was going to phone ahead but ran out of time.

[DelisaProductions]

What intrigue, that was great! You're quite ballsy aren't you, going in there with a camera. Glad you had fun, looked like a nice office blding.

[Pippilly]

Well I knew we'd be asked to turn it off, it was just a matter of "when" lol

[clayLavl]

michelle..that shot of you driving over the bridge and filming the city..that's nice! exciting vid!

[Pippilly]

Thanks Clay, it was a fun day at the office lol

[compton3c]

Cool Pippilly. What were you, undercover?

Are you on vacation, too? I hope you are having a good time and...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Pippilly]

Nope at work actually but I was away in Californis for a few wonderful days, lurking aobut the Youtube office lol

[compton3c]

Well, it looks like you had fun. I haven't been to Cali yet. One day....

[cooksterz]

[Pippilly]

[bartolemeo]

Funny stuff ;)

[Pippilly]

Hey there, glad to know you are still around, was missing you. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and have a great new year = )

[bartolemeo]

[Pippilly]

[Pippilly]

Someone's gotta do it.. why is it always me?

[hartnell114]

[hartnell114]

can you just get right in there or do you have to be invited/appointment first? lol

itd be a gret place to go when i visit the US next year!

[Pippilly]

I think they prefer appointments. Just make sure you go when they have a good stash of T-Shirts lol

[hartnell114]

hehe yes!

i have a shirt from the glasgow gathering :D

...i was going to frame it, think thatd be odd?

[Pippilly]

If it means alot to you.. know it's not odd at all = ) I've framed odder things than a T-shirt. I have a dirty smelly one of Tom Cruise.. I was going to frame it lol

[hartnell114]

lol!

...dont you think he would like it back?

[SohoSquare]

I would LOVE to know what you were pointing at but couldn't show us :) Looks like you had fun!

[Pippilly]

It was great fun.. I made sure if it lol

[owenbigpinekey]

I was expecting to see Nalts.

[Pippilly]

That's funny you should say that! I didn't show the part where I said this is where Nalts lives lol I seriously said that hahahaha Merry christmas!

[owenbigpinekey]

LoL I was going to say something like did you see his bedroom but decided against it. Too funny

[Pippilly]

I'll tell you something, nalts left droppings eVERYWHERE. the only place he hadn't been was the ladies washroom.... Hmm come to think of it, I think I saw a dropping in there lol!

[LordTempist]

Excellent:) I am glad one of the "real" people of YouTube actually got inside the ~Temple of You~.

[Pippilly]

Honored with your presence M'lord lol!!!

[LordTempist]

Indiana Pipilly and the Temple of YouTube:)

[CountryComesToTown]

Ahh that was fun Pippilly. Glad you got to see the monkeys at play. Now it is confirmed that they really don't use cameras there! LOL Great trip. Thanks for taking us along! -Jim

[Pippilly]

Was really nice they gave me my own space to film though dontya think. I'm so spoiled lol

[dl737]

But of course everyone knew who you were. Very cool stuff Pip!

[Pippilly]

The price I pay for fame ; )

[Tobie2]

That was very fun!!!! hehehehe

[Pippilly]

Glad you enjoyed what never happened lol! Will you ever get that 4 minutes back hahahha

[flydarling]

You're doing great with iMovie Pip I think your stuff is going from strength to strength. What fun to visit YouTube, I was hoping you'd get a T-shirt. Cheers, Lesley

[Pippilly]

Thats why I went, thought I'd pick one up myself but they had just run out lucky moi! I think all the gatherings have cleaned them out lol

[bedoboy]

That was so cool Pips and Morph in the You Tube Building, that was a very James Bond type video.

[Pippilly]

Just another continuation of James Bond lol

[Pippilly]

[TamHickey67]

Glad you got to go to the YT buildings Pip. Morfeene was like a copper telling you off about jaywalking lol.

[Pippilly]

You can say that again! lol

[TheFamousStacie]

Sweet! I got a YouTube monogrammed pillow. I'm totally not kidding. I really did.

[Pippilly]

And all I got was a pin lol! they had run out of everything. flew all the way from Canada, but i couldn't miss it.. I had to go.. my youtube life is almost complete hahahaha

[breezin48]

So...did you get Morfeene into trouble or is it the other way 'round?? I'm trying to decide who's the bigger handful...Pip or Morfeene. Hmmmm. I think it's a draw. -sue

[Pippilly]

Well I'm the J-walker and Morf isn't, I think there in lies the answer woo hoo!

[morfeene2]

She got me into SO MUCH trouble, Sue! - ha! ha! :-)

[absinthedrunk]

oh, pippy, i wish i could have joined you in the fun! well, this is the next best thing! you are soooo fun! thanks! :)!

[Pippilly]

AWE thanks! I wish I had met more tubers too, one day... A Gathering for sure! Woot!

[absinthedrunk]

BIG WOOT!!! :)

[benzone50]

a little adventure! well done~peace, ben.

[Pippilly]

It was big till the door slammed lol!

[ajdpadbury]

Lovin your work! Of COURSE they knew who you were, you will be a partner in no time! But when you hit the big time you might want to send Morfeene2 to camera school, my eyes hurt LOL!:)

[Pippilly]

yah! he was shaky hahahahhaa

[andymooseman]

Cool video. You make a great double act. I look forward to more top secret missions.

It's a bit ironic, don't you think, that they wouldn't let you film inside? It doesn't surprise me though :)

[Pippilly]

hahahhahaa... well.... They arent Youtubers and business is business, they did have work to do lol

[morfeene2]

Believe me, Andy - it didn't stop Pip - she went running around all over the place....I think there might be more footage to come! - ha! ha! :-)

[OhCurt]

I bet they were all watching MrPregnant and leaving hater comments - THAT'S why you couldn't show us what they were doing, RIGHT?!

And nice title intro, TFG!

[Pippilly]

Actually... Your name was on the board, seems you are under investigation for taunting winter dwellers!

[andymooseman]

And quite right too, it shouldn't be allowed :)

[OhCurt]

They've already contacted me.

Got a couple snowballs right in the kisser!!

;-)

[andymooseman]

Justice at last :)

[BaronSCameron]

I miss San Fran... *sigh* I need to go back another visit. Looks like a geat time. Great video.

[Pippilly]

thanks Baron, glad you like it and thanks vfor visiting ; ) happy Holidays

[Lethesunshine]

You are a HOOT! This was so neat! You must have been worked for the CIA in another life!

Heehee!

Praying For Peace!

~Mimi~

[Pippilly]

Yes but don't tell anyone lol Merry christmas! Love you xoxoxooxoxo

[Ranblv]

How cool is that.

slow motion was great work, just the right enough of slow.

what learning curve? :-)

[Pippilly]

oh trust me, i'm havinmg issues, and some of them a just plain old luck = )

[Whits1bone]

That was cool although I'm surprised at how easy it was to get into the building. Security seems to be a bit lacking lol!

[Pippilly]

The building has other business in there aswell it appeared.

[KurtGnu]

Ok, so you ARE mad.. :) :) Thanks for confirming my suspicions.. :)

[Pippilly]

hahahahhahaa happpy happy Gnu : )

[EmCSpiteri]

Pippilly, you are one handful of a nice lady.

[Pippilly]

***** Grins *****

[iggy35]

You have to go tour buckingham palace next!!

[Pippilly]

Hey I got a guear to laugh once lol Took an hour but I did it hahahhaaa

[iggy35]

lol whats the secret?

[LeSaMilano]

Next mission may require sekrit spy camera mounted on morfeene's glasses I'd say! LOL

[Pippilly]

Great idea! Working on the contraption right now ; )

[nbwulf]

Very cool stuff Pip. =)

[Pippilly]

It was fun, thanks : )

[thenudo]

Ummm...I'm still shocked over them telling you to turn your camera off in a youtube office??? Ummm!! Yeah!! But - cool Pip!! It's very cool they knew you! :) Rock on!! YOU SHOULD KNOW THEY KNOW WHO PIP IS!! :)

[Pippilly]

I'm not shocked about the camera business really, I was ready and waiting for it to happen, like any major corporation, cams just aren't allowed, I can't take my cam to work either. I could be doing some great toilet vlogging lol

[Perroquet51]

I'm not surprised, either, Pippy. I tried to take a photo inside a local supermarket and while I was adjusting the focus, I saw two security guards racing towards me, arms outstretched. If I can't even take a photo of some vegetables in a supermarket without being attacked by security, I'm not sure I want to risk going into the Google building.

[Pippilly]

Vegatables just arent safe anymore lol!

[yumajohnny]

cool set! wtg

[Pippilly]

'thanks, was all done with Green screen, not bad eh? ; )

[yumajohnny]

I knew it! Youtube doesn't even have an office I googled it and know they don't! (LOL) hehhehehehe

[Pippilly]

yah they do, we were in it silly, check out the San Bruno location, that's it... I wouldn't have driven hours for nuttin I did a toilet vlog aswell... I was seriously there, you saw it

[yumajohnny]

LoL i know i was just being sarcastic. great job!

[Pippilly]

Well what if I told you this whole thing was a joke hahahaha Well ok, the last part.. but hey.. I had to end it on a good note lMAO

[PositiveLogic]

Can't beat YT Offices for a YT video "set" (or scouting location ;-)

[Pippilly]

Well I was hoping for a Youtube sign, but I think that now is at the google office, my next pit stop lol

[txnrobin]

but i wanted to see the monkeys!!! waaaaaaaahhhh ;)

[Pippilly]

There was a little poster on the elevator wall for the Monkeys did you see it? lol they wouldnt let me take pics of the monkeys... well I couldn't post them.... They seem to have is NOICE

[thefrozenghost]

Wow, you guys are the coolest! What an awesome thing to do! I'm so jealous!!!

[Pippilly]

It was a very fun day being where the "heart and Soul" of all of us live ROFL! So true in many ways

[Blinkazoid]

Well that was certainly super cool!!! I knew before it was over with someone would ask you to turn your camer off, LOL.

[Pippilly]

Yeah, for me it was just a matter of "when" lol

[dogpatchdebbie]

[TomsterMusic]

[morfeene2]

[Pippilly]

Ah they were just doing there job like any corporate business.. of all the Nerve lol

[Swazi88]

[TheFamousStacie]

[Pippilly]

hahahhahaha! I just saw this. I just loves ya lol! they don't see through the same rose colored glasses as we do lol!!!

[dogpatchdebbie]

I loved it:)

[MadBadVoodo]

Hey Pip what did you point at???

Five Stars!!

[Pippilly]

I wonder how many times I'll get asked that lol

[MadBadVoodo]

Why can't you tell us?

[KurtGnu]

They would have to shoot her!! My guess is that she really saw that YT actually IS run by a bunch of monkeys.. :)

[MadBadVoodo]

LOL!

[Pippilly]

They were very young monkeys lol

[Pippilly]

I got to feed them! hahahhaa

[MadBadVoodo]

LOL!!

[Pippilly]

because I don't think they would appreciate it lol It was funny though, nuttin bad ; )
