[ladymystyk]

Warms my heart!

[luvthecanadian]

I need to stop watching this fuckin video. It's making me sad.

[tonjesml]

:)

amazing.

[maryann712]

Back to watch this again...this was so awesome. The video, the gathering, etc.

[fehquig]

It was my first gathering. I didn't know what to expect... Thanks for the burp :)

[Mikey34549]

Cool!

[vjm1234]

How did this one get past me. Awesome! Great footage. I love this video and I felt the same bond at this gathering. I'm so lucky that 888 was my first YT gathering experience. Thank you for letting me get to know you. Until next time, Smiley:D

[dancegypsy]

Fantastic video, CM!!! I'm glad it's in Sandie's favorites. Next best thing to being there... for those of us who weren't. Five stars.

[ButterRivaLs]

Back to favorite this.

: )

[distorteddogma]

I agree, best description in a long time, "We're each other's fans."

Be Well.

[ButterRivaLs]

"We're each others fans."

(My favorite words.)

And of course it feels good to have people behind you, people who support what you do ... and who you are.

ps Excellent video!

: )

[cooksterz]

Great presentment of the gathering Chris! The group of people in our lil community is so awesome. I bet having them all right there in reach was a great feeling!!

[disposablebook2]

Nice one!

[lolypopzncigretz]

This is the best video you have ever done.

[capergirl1976]

Love the video and great observations. :)

[honeybeeissa]

Nice video.;p It was great to see everyone there. Piano Bar was EPIC! <3

[tickanie]

oh looks like lots of fun! I'm going to a youtube gathering one of these years!

[eefgirl]

Wish I was there

[sandieblack]

you know- I think this is my favorite video ever. It most closely describes what this whole youtube thing has meant to me.

another big kiss on your other cheek. and I don't mean the one on your ass. ;-)

[chris3ff]

Such a great video. I'm moved.

[K80Blog]

You're a star in this community Mast! Much love.

[ThOverdrive]

wish I could of been there - happy it was such a good one

[speedyconkiwi]

I like seeing all those familiar faces together in one video. I wish I could have added my face there as well. *sigh

[barryperrins]

Good video old bean

[flynlizard]

Well thanks for the reply wish I could find your response within the comments. I hope one day I can go to sf, but right now its not looking to bright.

[johnnymoondog]

Looks like you had a blast !

And yeh, it is truly a global village now.

[Kitelight08]

i reali loved this video man one of your best .. brought a tear 2 ma eye

[ajaxouch]

good video

[AshBradford]

You're right about this gathering being different. I don't know, I found it a bit boring. That's why I took off on the second day and went to the zoo instead [which was awesome by the way]. I don't know, maybe I've been away from youtube and out of the loop for too long.

[gwabir]

wow... beautil words, beautiful video... I wish i could have been there... 5 stars and faved... u rock chris... and i mean it!

GW

[savagesins]

This video was wonderful :)

[NewWarriorMan]

Well done.

[BrettTheIntern]

Wait...was that JoshSource who said "I" the loudest? He had a strange grin on his face. What exactly were you up to besides hair-cutting matters?

[AngryAussie]

You must have had a sore arse!

[ChristopherMast]

Actually, yes... 'cause Brian/Bnessel1973 hit me so hard he burst capillaries in his fingers and he was the second one of the bunch to hit me... then about 15 people in someone hit me with an ironing board. There's a video about it coming soon on either Bnessel1973 or GeneticBlend, I'm not sure which of those channels yet.

[ClipCritics]

Great job! I'm bummed we couldn't make it.

~Captain Chuck

[ChristopherMast]

Hahaha... You're still up!

[ItsBrent]

fantastic video.

-Brent

[ChristopherMast]

Thanks Brent!

[sillysillytom]

big fan my friend. awesome post

[sandieblack]

Fabulous. Absolutely. I barely broke out my video cam for the same reason. Can't wait until next time.

[ChristopherMast]

I got footage of you kissing me on the cheek.

That's all I need :)

[monicavm]

Glad you had fun!

[Pippilly]

Nicely done CM. I still have to get you back for that Twitter comment lol

[ChristopherMast]

:-P

[anakin1814]

Hi Pip!! ((HUGS))

[EnchantinFlower]

That was absolutely wonderful, Christopher! It'd be awesome to meet you and them someday!

o(^-^)o

[hippygram]

Very well done, Bravo!

[kateszandc]

Great Vid, and I couldn't agree more about the youtube community.

[JoshSource]

so awesome christopher. you are one of the few people who i can say have turned youtube from just another website into an actual community for me. thanks for this and thanks for the video. it makes me proud to be a youtuber.

[ChristopherMast]

Hey... gotta get in for another hair appointment soon :)

[musosf]

Yes, please do. :)

[ChristopherMast]

Actually, I think I am going to do something about my wardrobe when my budget recovers from all my travels and I'm recruiting JoshSource to be my personal "Queer Eye Guy"... wanna film it?

[musosf]

Oh sure...that oughta be tres entertaining. Must practice not laughing from behind the camera.

[JoshSource]

oh my god, i'm SO on board for this if you guys are serious...like, you have no idea. PROJECT!!!

[musosf]

Oh hell yes I'm serious...if we can just steer this project past CM's ADD you're on!

[JoshSource]

if he takes his medication he should be fine...right?

[boobtubious]

Cool video Christopher. I have a strong desire to join up at one of these gatherings. I hope to soon!

[offcameherhead]

Star Trek? Mmmmaybe. Grateful Dead? Depends if there's a bunch of Spinners in the corner. Good video!

[ChristopherMast]

We DID have a drum circle!

[supered86]

under 50 bucks?! you lucky fuck! i wanted to go!!! haha

[ChristopherMast]

Hahaha... Yep. Pays to have friends :)

[sidekick3iskool]

Christopher, your the man.

Just had to say that.

[f3xpgm]

Beautiful message and video! You rule bro, loved it! ;)

[paddy1boy]

wonderful! cheers for this vid! p x

[qiranger]

Great memories!

[anythingsarcastic]

Mast, this was the best one so far. Thank you for being you...and letting me slap your ass. I miss you...

[ChristopherMast]

You are by far my favorite lesbian I've ever hit on!

[arccrow]

*thumbs up*

This was really nice...

[BilliLovesMargot]

this was beautiful christopher.

[flynlizard]

I hope your going to south tube as that is the only gathering I am going to be able to attend.

[ChristopherMast]

Don't know that I can swing SouthTube, sorry.

Maybe you can come to SF next year(?)

[thewinekone]

I enjoy how you talked about your ass at the end, and the first related video is an "ASS ONE" YouTube gathering.

[ChristopherMast]

yep!  Glad you picked up on that.

[XxUnknownxX8]

I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAposlSF]

Christopher, you're a deep guy.

I can really appreciate this vlog, having met you at 888. Thanks for this view into your mind

~Samar

[luvthecanadian]

...

...

...

beautiful.

[ChristopherMast]

:)  Thanks

[nerdfighter4]

awesome.

[JeffBazz]

haha I!!!!

[TheSumpPump]

How about a comparison like this: A convention of friendship

[thornekatt]

I'd love to smack you on the ass...maybe someday. :]

[batatakley]

Love the toughts u put in in here!!! And the crazy movements in the video! match perfectly!

[GeneticBlend]

meh... whatever.

:^D

This was perfect my friend. It was an honor to smack you on the ass.

[ChristopherMast]

Fuckin' A! (too Italian?... OK?... huh?)

[JelloSheriff]

Great video!

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Christopher.Nicely assembled. The feelings seem to be real,rather than pre planned.

[Aprildew]

that was too cool

[RonSchira]

Very nice, Christopher

[Grimace]

That was a really good Video Christopher

[thizizliz]

This may be the best vid I've seen - mostly because of the narration. Super job indeed. And then the silly ending just to lighten it up. :D

[tadshackles]

/salute

Nicely done, Sir!

[nbwulf]

Excellent wrap up amigo. Enjoyed getting to hang out once again and I'm looking forward to the next time... Cheers my friend... J.

[ChristopherMast]

Next time indeed :)

[somecallmejim]

Great video. It's a real reminder of what a place such as this can do.

And man, I really wanted to be able to say "I" at the end! :-D

[tarafying]

i really wanted to go our meet up was not as fun you should just come to colorado..

[Illuminatta]

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Great script! I KNEW I was going to be missing something historical. Crap. :)

[CanadianNinjaMonkey]

I've been looking for a good 888 video and haven't found one until now. Way to go, that was great :)

[Illuminatta]

Try anythingsarcastic's "I give good montage" :)

[kokohawk]

This was an amazing video summarizing the true meaning and spirit of the gatherings. I am awarding this one a comment, five stars, and a favorite!

[stylistbrighton]

That is great.ahhhhh x

[timecentre]

very cool...

[Blizzeekitty]

Yep, it's like a convention. I liken the gatherings to all the Star Wars Celebrations where I met friends from all over the world and it wasn't weird at all, because I talk to them online every day. And the Post Party Depression is the same.

[jule425]

Looks like a lot of fun. I'm getting together with a group of people from a message board Labor Day weekend. I hope we have as much fun as you all did.

[OHdulcenea]

Great retrospective CM. Thanks so much for sharing!

[gloshglosh]

good times indeed! great video man!

[GramsandPapi]

Well done!! Thanks for sharing! Blessings, Grams

[Zublime75]

Loved it, really captured the essence of the gathering :)

xox

[musosf]

Really really moving. I hadn't thought about this but you're right. This one was extra-special and I do think we're getting somewhere. I'm very glad you were there.

[ChristopherMast]

Thanks again, Mike. You rock.

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

Loved it! 888 4 eva

[mattlaw25]

I'm continually amazed at the power of the community behind this site. Glad you had an amazing trip.

[maryann712]

Hard to watch for some reason. Really touching and well done.

[anakin1814]

Perhaps hard to watch because it's now been a week since it's all been said and done with? Hard to fathom.... It almost feels like a dream to me.

[maryann712]

And a reminder as to how far apart we all are :( It was so nice being in the same hall, or at least the same building with everybody. It went too fast.

[wpgpeanut]

That was from the heart and an awesome explanation of what we have all felt. Thank you for being a great person with a huge heart. And thank you for not putting your tongue in. lol

<3

[bnessel1973]

Awesome, Mast. Really fucking awesome.

[ChristopherMast]

Thanks :)

[SSFTheJ0KER]

This one should be featured

[ChristopherMast]

Maybe if I got it done right after the meetup. I'm a bit late for a meetup tribute. I think I was the last one done, in fact.... besides, they'll never feature my goofy ass :)

But hey! Thanks!

[anakin1814]

Brilliant my friend. Brilliant.

[Prowlgrin]

wow that looked awesome, i so need to go to one of these...

[ChristopherMast]

Yes you do. But, well... you don't need me going all "parental" on ya, so never mind.

[Prowlgrin]

what like there may be weirdos lurking in the shadows.. be carefull and take some pepper spray.. something like that? :D

[ChristopherMast]

No... in a sense that if I had a 15yo daughter there's NO FUCKIN' WAY I'd let her go to one of these gatherings :)

[Prowlgrin]

lol, well dont get me wrong i appreciate the parenting thing, makes me feel loved lol, but i cant be THAT bad...

[Prowlgrin]

*it cant be that bad, not i

[ChristopherMast]

OK - but NO drinking alcohol, young lady! Oh... and don't you even THINK about going to some perverted bastard's hotel room alone, dammit... you stay in the crowds where plenty of people can see you're safe! ;)

[ChristopherMast]

You see, it's just that I know how us ADULTS act at these things, and I don't want us being a bad influence ;)

[Prowlgrin]

but aside from everything mention it would be so awesome, how old is the youngest youtuber you've met/seen around at a gathering?

[Prowlgrin]

lol paranoid much?!

[maryann712]

Eek!! You're 15? I have a 15 year old daughter. She is not allowed to post vids although she would love to...I am over protective I realize. I did bring the whole family to the Philly gathering, but the only way Emma would get to go alone is by leaping over my dead body LOLOL And in answer to your question Eli Eli is a youtuber I guess, the youngest one I've seen is 3. Unaccompanied by an adult would be Davedays, who's 16.

[Prowlgrin]

lol, i thought you knew! oh well, im gonna be 16 soon so i may try and persuade my parents to let me go next year when ill be almost 17 :O, how strange? i thought dave was older? lol i supose he looks 16..

[maryann712]

How do your parents feel about you being on YouTube, are they cool with it? I know even my mom was all nervous when I started and I clearly ain't 15 hahahahaha

[Prowlgrin]

lol, they're fine with it, my dads a little bit parnoid, eg "they're peverts" from just a photo :D, and mum is really great, shes shown/told almost everyone she knows about it lol

[maryann712]

That's very cool. You are ridiculously talented, in case I haven't mentioned that before hahaha They should be proud!!

[Prowlgrin]

:D thanks i appreciate it, your part of the picture took me almost 2 hrs! omg your hair (though lovely) was difficult, the video may be up tomorrow!

[maryann712]

I should have showered that day, sorry. It's hard to capture the way the light bounces of the greasy locks...hahahahaha Just kiddin'. I cannot wait to see it.

[Prowlgrin]

lol, ill send it when im done, does winger1212 (i dont know her real name, im thinking its wendy, but im not sure) know im drawing her?

[maryann712]

No, I don't think so unless CM told her. And yes, Wendy is her name :)

[Prowlgrin]

ok i might message her then, thanks

[ChristopherMast]

I don't think Wendy knows yet. I'm looking forward to seeing the pic too... Oh, and the youngest 'Tuber I've seen at a gathering (besides just in the main meetup thing at Toronto) was DaveDays. By that, I mean the people who party all night and hang out in the hotel rooms.

Don't get me wrong, people would more than welcome your presence, but you'd have to know you can expect people like me and MaryAnn to be watching you like a hawk in a protective way :)

[Prowlgrin]

:D and i love ya for it!

[higoaway]

<3 love. 888 hasn't left my mind for over a week.

[ChristopherMast]
