Take a Sad Song and Make It Better - 888

[The2studsandCharlie]

Wonderful :)

[greasedupgamer]

who made this song?

[Guny04]

the beatles

[PnFHPa7x]

@Guny04 lol

[theonlyextremefan]

the Title of this is Hey Jude ^_^ Nice sOng tHis song starts since when?

[ebiannah]

Spastic footage rules.

And no, I haven't subbed to the ceiling. Nor will I ever. It's way to high class for me. It's always making videos that are way over my head.

[anakin1814]

LOL!

[maxqt]

I wish I had been there and awesome footage

[anakin1814]

It was great! :)

[rmtpjt]

I was singing this song aloud with you guys while watching this vid when my son came up and said What are you doing? Didn't realize I was taken up by the song as much. Also, you need to put the link to the ceiling so I can subscribe. Love that he likes the Beatles. LOL.

[anakin1814]

It's hard NOT to sing along to this song! I requested it to JP (the piano player) cuz I knew it would make for a wonderful moment! :)

[batatakley]

I loved the ceiling...but I love you more Gary!!

[anakin1814]

Thanks Val! I feel the same way! :)

[Zublime75]

I'm still looking for that ceiling's channel damn it! :p

[anakin1814]

I heard it got featured! :)

[angelboku1]

I would LOVE to know what the other guest of that establishment were thinking about that crazy group of tubers!! haha.. very fun and feel good video!!

5*****'s

[anakin1814]

He probably scared them out of the bar area! LOL

[sultrywirelegs]

That was awesome!

I'll be sure to blame you if I still have this song stuck in my head a week from now :)

[anakin1814]

You wouldn't believe how many times I've listened to this song in the past few days!@ :)

[flydarling]

Real footage mate. Makes me feel like I was there under your armpit raising my voice to the ceiling too. Wishful thinking but at least I can live the meet up vicariously. Missed ya'. Cheers, Lesley x

[anakin1814]

You were definitely there in spirit my friend! ((HUGS))

[maryann712]

That camera work is like none I've ever seen. I account for 447 views on this vid.

[anakin1814]

Thank you for all 447!! I'm surprised my camera didn't fly out of my hand at one point during this! LOL

[thefrozenghost]

You're tall.

[anakin1814]

or is GeneticBlend just really short?

[thefrozenghost]

I think both are true....

[all4tubekids]

That was awesome! love seeing everyone so happy there. These gatherings are great. Wish I could make it to every gathering but at least I met many of you at the Yo'Tube gathering last month. Hope to see you at the 7-11-9 gathering.

[anakin1814]

I hope to get to many more gatherings myself!

[missdivinestalls]

GAH! You have my youtube life!  I hope SouthTube is as cool.

[anakin1814]

We will have a blast at SouthTube!

[missdivinestalls]

YAY!

[anakin1814]

:-)

[Brianswers]

Looks like you guys had fun :) Was this Saturday night?

I saw you there at the science centre, didnt get a chance to say hi. lol

[anakin1814]

Yeah, this was Saturday night. Bummer we didn't get a chance to say hello! I tried to mingle for a while, but eventually it just got to be crazy!

[ohjoannabanana]

I checked out the ceiling's videos, but I didn't subscribe because his content was all over my head (ba dum bump)

:-D

[anakin1814]

Brilliant! :)

[PDXvlog]

JP here yet again, wondering if his bandmates notice his random comments sometimes: So I'm looking at the comments on this, and golly. I had no idea. And it wasn't just me, it was all of us. Even the people upstairs in the rooms doing blogtv or hanging out, or in the downtown hotels, or even those who left post-Gathering on the planes home - I BET they were singing along too. *HUGGLEZ*

That's what I get from this. =D That and the ceiling. Best naked vlog ever.

[anakin1814]

I preferred the Ceilings 5 tag question vlog! LOL

[maryann712]

This sad song is making me sadder. And yet I can't turn away...

[anakin1814]

I've listening to it my entire drive home from work tonight too!

[LuckyStrike502]

Looks like you had a blast! ST2 is getting closer and closer! :-)

[anakin1814]

That's the only thing that's getting me through this depression that's setting in now!

[LisaAsterisk]

A good time was had by all, I'd say! Great vid, G!!!

[anakin1814]

So cool seeing you in Stickam for this too! You were right there on top of the piano! :)

[RiddleSpider]

Loving the ceiling! Looks like you had so much fun!

[anakin1814]

Oh yeah! And I got to see YOU in Stickam too! So it was like you were there !:)

[anythingsarcastic]

Can I have fucking amazing for 200 please!

[anakin1814]

You're in luck: Double Jeopardy.

[myloflex]

LOL I knew I was in there somewhere!

[anakin1814]

Yeah! We talked about Guiness being in bottles! COOL! Hope you had fun!

[DatAintRight]

I think I am drunk from just watching. ;)

[anakin1814]

LOL!

[ajdpadbury]

Very moving, it is amazing what a singing a song with friends can do!:)

[anakin1814]

It really is! The booze helps too!

[JeeprzCreepers56]

lol. Your camera is everywhere.

[anakin1814]

I'm lucky it didn't go flying across the hotel lobby! LOL

[TheAposlSF]

*sniffle* that was heart-warming!

~Samar

[anakin1814]

SOOO great to meet you Samar! Hope you can get to more of these! :)

[TheAposlSF]

Me too. I don't know if I can take the withdrawal again tho

~Samar

[anakin1814]

That's the problem. But my heart feels so much closer to SO MANY of the friends I made. If it hurts this bad, it has to be good!

[TheAposlSF]

preach it, brother!

[anakin1814]

:-)

[Spielbergsp]

Awesome! Wish I could join and sing along! Goes to my favourites.

[anakin1814]

I wish you could have been there!

[888torontomeetup]

looks like 888 was uber lame...that's what i heard... : }

[anakin1814]

Kathy -- thank you SO MUCH for all of your hard work on this gathering. You got ALL of these people to come together for this amazing time! There were bits and pieces we may criticize, but you can never please everyone. And the beauty of it all is that all of these people came together in one place. The rest of it was up to us to have fun!

[TheAposlSF]

truthfully, this was my first gathering and because you organized this, I met a ridiculous amount of really cool people that I would not have known otherwise. Thank you!

~Samar

[popparoc46]

Looks like a good time. - roc

[anakin1814]

It's too bad you missed it Roc!

[StarWarsDork]

Nice ceiling... and Butchered is an understatemnt. :P

[anakin1814]

With that much butchering going on, you think there would have been more raw meet flying around! ;)

[StarWarsDork]

Or at least more blood. :P

[anakin1814]

LOL! That was the other direction I was thinking of going with that comment! LOL

[f3xpgm]

LOL, crazy!

[anakin1814]

And you were there, Felix! On the piano in Stickam! How cool is that!!!!???? :)

[f3xpgm]

True! It was a cool small moment! YouTube gave our life's a better light, right? I feel pain for walking so much in Manhattan!

[anakin1814]

And right now, I am bummed out that my YouTube gathering (for now) is over. But YES...it puts life in a better light! :)

[MartySchrader]

You guys *did* get kicked out, right?

[anakin1814]

We *did* almost get kicked out of our hotel room....which is why that party got moved into the lobby! LOL

[Bikermom69]

Awesome!

[anakin1814]

:-)

[bugsinrug]

Gawd...if I don't stop crying..my eyes will simply dry up and fall out. Eeeeeew! luv you Gary! hugs, Chris

[anakin1814]

I'm so glad you had a good time Chris! It changes a person to the core, doesn't it?

((HUGS))

[patriotaction]

Dude, I was subbed to that ceiling before it was cool to be subbed to the ceiling.

[anakin1814]

I thought it was kind of shitty, though, when that ceiling got its partnership!

[patriotaction]

That did make me pretty jealous.

[anakin1814]

LOL!

[JeepGirl2]

Looks like sooo much fun!!! :0)

[anakin1814]

Yeah, it was! That's why you have to come to SouthTube! :)

[GeneticBlend]

That night was THE highlight of the weekend for me. Shit, might have been the highlight of the summer.

[anakin1814]

I've been thinking about this comment a lot, Joe, and I think you might be right. Meeting you and Marissa really was one of the highlights of the gathering for me.

[PrincessDiana161]

That was great!

[anakin1814]

((HUGS Diana!))

[mtamorphis]

Good times going on right there!

[anakin1814]

That, my friend, is an understatement! :)

[LilCav68]

LOL... wow.

[anakin1814]

((HUGS))

*still bitter about the rejection of my marriage proposal*

[LilCav68]

(((hugs)))

*I said yes later after I thought about it. Got ring?*

[anakin1814]

Shall I call you "Madonna," now, Material Girl? No wonder you want Jason to be yo baby daddy! :)

[LilCav68]

Nooooo... Who needs a ring when I have you? Just accept my yes now before I cry?

[anakin1814]

Flip flopper!

[ajaxouch]

damn, i mustve been outside for this one!

[anakin1814]

There was so much going on, all over the place!

[zebidee55]

And there's me thinking John Lennon got murdered in New York not Toronto... ;DDD

Seriously though, that looked like awesome fun. Having just got back from Munich, the level of love in a room like that is incredible. All the most awesome people you can think of, all being awesome together. There is nothing on earth like a Gathering.

[anakin1814]

I owe you an email my friend. For that matter, we need to set up some Skype time. I have lots to share with you, my friend! :)

[zebidee55]

Oh hell yeah!

[anakin1814]

YES!

[maryann712]

*subs to ceiling*  Amazing night.

[anakin1814]

The only reason I subbed to the ceiling was because of its "sub 4 sub" comment.

[SunnyDazStormyNitz]

That was great. Resembles a lot of Sunny's footage and she wasn't even drinking. ;-)

[anakin1814]

Me? Drinking? LOL

[wpgpeanut]

That was seriously awesome..

[anakin1814]

((HUGS))

[AnneMarie96]

That was great.

[anakin1814]

:-)

[dl737]

Awesome (if shakey) footage - lol.

[anakin1814]

Shakey? I'm surprised my camera didn't go flying out of my head and knock Maria over! LOL

[chris3ff]

magic..

[anakin1814]

Well said! :)

[Chivalryaintdead]

That was a great moment, I was watching on the Stickam LOL, thanks for the larger version.

[brojoghost]

this was broadcast on Stickam?

Wow there are a lot of people in there!

[anakin1814]

Jason (nbwulf) set up his computer on the piano and opened up a Stickam room. It was a really cool way for others to take part in the event! :)

[anakin1814]

It was cool seeing you in Stickam too Jason! It was like you were there!! :)

[TormentedByDemons]

*sigh* It's just not the same without K80 dry-humping the back of someone's head.

[anakin1814]

LOL!!

[musosf]

Thanks for this - the day of the final, most painful separation is perfect timing for taking a sad song and making it better. Until next time...

[anakin1814]

I won't even allow myself to respond to that comment, Mike. *sigh*

[OhCurt]

Even with the wild camera movements, I could still make out Mike with the glasses and wig.

As it should be.

[anakin1814]

There's something really awesome about having a roommate who travels with a bag of wigs, hats, and glasses.

[ralfonzo83]

u sang again! phew..

[anakin1814]

Well, I am "Man of the Year." LOL

[3BallJosh]

Wow...I'm having second thoughts about going to southtube now

[anakin1814]

You'll be on top of the piano singing like Michelle Pfieffer.

[3BallJosh]

Only if I'm sober

[anakin1814]

Well, then there's a shot that you'll keep your shirt (and pants) on.

[3BallJosh]

No guarantees

[anakin1814]

Woot!!!

[stylistbrighton]

Dude, it was 'hey jane' not 'hey jude' get the freaking words right!!

[anakin1814]

You rock Jane! ((HUGS))

[vclamp]

Best part of the gathering!

I could see the significance of the moment from the beginning, but never got my camera to work. Difficult when the memory card is still at home. :(

[anakin1814]

D'oh!

This was really the only video I got of the actual event. I didn't even remember shooting the footage until I checked my memory card last night! :)

[GuruMN]

I was playing with the Hydrolophone(sp?) at OSC and then checked out the telescopes for about 15 mins or so and then everyone was gone when I came back and didn't know you all went to the hotel. I missed out, looks like fun. I got to see Saturn though which was pretty cool.

[anakin1814]

That was the one bad thing about people staying in multiple locations -- a lot of mini-pre- or post-gatherings happened randomly that others missed out on. It was great talking to you at the actual event though.

[maryann712]

can't take a whole more of this shit. I'll say it again, I fucking love you guys.

[anakin1814]

The feeling is mutual. ((HUGS))

[nbwulf]

The piano and singing was friggin awesome.

[anakin1814]

Exactly my friend!

[nerdfighter4]

Haha! great Fun!

[anakin1814]

And you were there in Stickam, right on top of the piano! YAY!!

[vintagegarden]

That was cool.  :)

[anakin1814]

For sure! :)

[bnessel1973]

pure awesomeness.

[anakin1814]

I love you man.

[berzerkeley]

awesome. feels like i'm in the room.

[anakin1814]

It was great!

[silverscreamgrl]

I love this song :) Maria! Looked like tons of fun.

[anakin1814]

It was a blast Beth! Get ready for stuff like this at SouthTube! Woot!!!

[silverscreamgrl]

I could tell :) I'm sure it got rowdier as the night went on. I wonder if that is why we weren't invited back to the same hotel in Georgia? ;)

[anakin1814]

I've thought the same thing myself! LOL

[AndyPliskin]

This looks like so much fun! Sorry I missed it.

Wow, the whole crew is there!

[anakin1814]

This was probably the biggest group there for the sing-a-long that just kind of happened...man that was cool.

[JeffBazz]

what an amazing night...

i'm TOTALLY subbing to that ceiling!

[anakin1814]

Dude--I wonder if anybody got our Ice Ice Baby tag team?

[OHdulcenea]

The best ceiling ever. I had SO much fun that night that I didn't want it to ever end.

[PDXvlog]

JP: Oh, that night has never ended. We're all still singing around the piano in our hearts, in our minds, and in my case...toenails.

[anakin1814]

How great is it that we can relive it over and over again? :)

[capergirl1976]

Flippin awesome! lol@the ceiling sub. :)

[anakin1814]

That ceiling was so interesting...And NO attitude! :)

[Blizzeekitty]

I think I see someone I know in there! ;)

I can't wait to see more Gary! What an awesome party of great people.

[anakin1814]

It was one of many highlight of the trip! Glad you and John got to meet up as well! I'm jealous of that too! :)

[Blizzeekitty]

Yep, we made our own fun just walking around in the dark. :)

[anakin1814]

Woot!

[IWalk4tnt]

Loved it Gary!

Hopefully we'll see somewhat of an encore performance at ST2!!

Sandi

[musosf]

I'm going to call the hotel in Nashville and make sure they have a lobby piano, Sandi! And hopefully we'll have someone to play it.

[IWalk4tnt]

Cool Mike! Hey....we could have a Sonomatube gathering in my livingroom. I've got a piano just sitting here all lonely & quiet.......

Sandi

[anakin1814]

What if they don't? What would we do? Gosh -- we NEED one!

[anakin1814]

Oh yeah; there's plenty where this came from! LOL

[BGenerous]

A Beatles song--of course!

[anakin1814]

My request, I might add! LOL

[IceflowStudios]

That was awesome!

[anakin1814]

Thanks!

[Blinkazoid]

I think you guys might have drowned out Niagra Falls with that one, LOL.

[anakin1814]

Well, there was an explosion on the freeway near there (and we never heard it!).

[vjm1234]

Sing it Ginger! Sing it. LOL> Love ya Gary. Smiley:D

[anakin1814]

((HUGS))

[thizizliz]

Weren't you worried about being shy? Wasn't that you? Seems like you had a marvelous time and so did everyone else. How cool is that? :D
