 Welcome to downtown Seattle. I don't normally come into the city on a Saturday like this, but I'm here for the Emerald City Comic Con I'm gonna be speaking at a panel on a live podcast recording called the science bar podcast We're talking about science and having drinks my brother-in-law is gonna pick me up because having a designated driver is cool Also downtown is just absolutely wild Disturbingly loud Seattle on a rail Okay, I got my badge official it says it says speakers so apparently I can like cut through some lines. That's good Had to make quick stop at Lodro coffee See at first impressions. This is a Lot bigger than the biggest conference. I've been to which is like double ass a few thousand this has to be Ten twenty thousand people. I don't know I'm gonna go find out. I love how many kids there are here I've seen people with their little kids. I've seen lots of teenagers lots of families So here's the plan it is 1 30. I'm meeting up the rest of my panel at 5 30 That means I have four hours to take all this in Apparently half of it is in the convention center and half of it is over in the highest So if I want to go see the main stage and a bunch of the panels, that's over like five blocks away So I may only get to see half of this. This is this is a lot bigger than I expected So far. I'm very impressed I really like Books I am totally outmatched here. I don't know anything about comic books I thought I understood the layout of the convention center from having been here with other conferences I am utterly utterly confused. I have no idea where I am right now, which is great Which is great. I love that they can reconfigure a space like this to make it totally unfamiliar. I'm just gonna keep walking Glasses are worth the money. You got to look through them every day matters will look cool This appeals to me on so so many levels the technology to program these things the Star Wars Nerdery. I love it. I love this Slightly nicer than the ones I made a PVC pipe and spray paint when I was in high school Okay, apparently they're made out of aircraft aluminum handles and polycarbonate for the blades, so they're probably pretty strong I recognized more costumes than I thought I would which is good lightsabers Everywhere way nicer than the ones I had as a kid tons of kids It's afternoon so a lot of them are falling asleep, which is really cute And I am blown away by how busy this place is and they just keep flowing in The mind of stand-in-line for us the Star Wars are pretty it's pretty rad in here Okay, that's really cool Full-size speeder. I love it. This is us getting ready for our drunken I miss Dragon Ball the series Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z GT These are all my people Seahawks Lego Batman. I think that went well full episode will come out in a month or two They've got a backlog of episodes right now. That was a good time. Thanks for inviting me Okay, that is my day at Emerald City Comic-Con. That's a wrap We finished our podcast our live podcast and our panel discussion We were in sort of a back room in a back corner with a late-time slot and we still had I don't know like 50 50 people in the room. So that's pretty good My only regret is that I went up to get a I went to go try to get a selfie with Shaniqua Martin-Green at her autograph booth and I like I hesitated I wasn't sure if I was gonna go do it pay the money to go get a photo with her and by the time I came back upstairs, she was gone should have been more decisive acted quicker gotten that picture She's still awesome on Star Trek. I Saw a lot of people with cameras a lot of people taking videos So I take it that a lot of people are doing vlogs doing videos But I didn't see anything on the schedule the schedule is massive and immersive and there are meet-ups And but I didn't see anything on vlogging and YouTube So next year Emerald City Comic Con. What do you think? Should we do a panel about vlogging?
