Jon it was good to see actual footage of it.

At least you have a steady hand unlike all of the fiveawesomegirls. :D I liked it 5/5

[Castaa]

Thanks

I didn't know they were in the fiveawesomegirls. They seemed just so-so to me. Awesome seems like a bit of a stretch. ;)

[Brianswers]

lol :) I guess awesome is in the eye of the beholder. :p There was only 1 of the 5 there actually. italktosnakes. :)

[OnEye]

who was that artist at the beginning?

holy hot.

[Castaa]

I don't know him by name but he's famous in San Francisco. I see his work all over.

[pickles2626]

looked liked fun:)

[Castaa]

It was fun! But I half expected to see you there pickles. So it _could_ have been even more fun. :)

[19Becka]

Hope you had fun!

[Castaa]

I did have a good time. I met a lot of YouTubers I've watched over the years. I didn't video that part because I felt that would be too awkward for them and kinda of weird. lol

Happy Turkey Day. I am just on a quest.

[Castaa]

Thanks, you too. Quest?  For turkey? :)

Awesome video. Was that What the Buck that I heard at 3:13?

[Castaa]

Not in this video. But he did MC part of the show. I have footage of him on stage to but the lighting for filming at the show itself was awful and my footage makes the people impossible to clearly see. :( This is why I included so little concert footage in my video.

[simplybecky01]

ha that was fantastic-touristy videos are appreciated as we couldnt go :( lucky duck!

[Castaa]

ha, Thanks Becky. You for sure would have loved the show. Next time.

[CousinoMacul]

Looks like it was fun!

[Castaa]

I was pretty skeptical going into it. I didn't even apply for tickets when it was announced. And it was pretty fun. It was very much like a MTV event. Very quick paced. Bits of humor, stars and one song per artist.

Google spent some serious money on the event. I think they saw this as a coming out party for grander media plans for YouTube. They want YouTube to be taken seriously as an incubator of potential mainstream talent. And because of the shear numbers on YouTube, it kind of is.
