welcome everyone Adam the whoo here
0:18
behind these walls is VidCon 2018 a
0:22
convention geared all around videos
0:26
hence the combination and the name since
0:30
I am on the platform of YouTube it only
0:32
makes sense for me to attend I have been
0:35
here in the past throughout the entire
0:37
weekends in former years this year
0:42
however other plans kept me from
0:44
attending the entire time so today is
0:48
the only day but I had to I just I just
0:52
had to and I'm inviting you to join me
0:55
shaly I've been to a lot of different
0:58
events over the past four or five years
1:00
on this property and they were always
1:03
doing a little bit of construction
1:05
building stuff this wing in particular
1:08
I've never been in here I must say look
1:11
pretty dang nice upon registration you
1:14
can come over here and pick yourself up
1:16
the guidebook of what's happening
1:17
throughout the event and if you would
1:20
like a backpack you can choose from Twix
1:22
three musketeers and a variety of other
1:26
candies that you can sport along your
1:29
shoulders my lanyard says creator there
1:32
are three different tiers community
1:34
creator and Industry I'm going with the
1:38
creator and they're taking it a step
1:39
further this particular year so you
1:41
cannot trade off badges or give them to
1:43
someone they have given you this
1:46
wristband you have to go through a
1:48
security station to enter and scan your
1:51
badge right over here at these scanning
1:54
stations
1:58
near the food court area there's a
1:58
ferris wheel and a dinosaur ready to
2:01
take a swim in the front of the main
2:03
entrance state's rival on the awning
2:05
there welcome to the world of online
2:07
video the fountain has now decided to
2:10
rear its head it's time oh yes it's time
2:15
there is no confusion on where I am
2:19
there is signage everywhere now walking
2:23
into the main room this place for what I
2:27
remember is massive stretches all the
2:31
way down there and all the way down that
2:33
way and then goes way down there past as
2:37
many polls as you can count
2:39
I'm not going to argue with this stating
2:40
that it's the world's biggest inflatable
2:45
I have to have to admit I don't know if
2:49
any other inflatable rivals the size of
2:52
this one here's a better angle from the
2:55
side view the workers have a little
2:57
station down the middle and then
2:59
everyone just runs on either side
3:01
bouncing around having a good time and
3:03
it goes stretches for about probably
3:04
about 50 yards that direction running
3:07
through the Chocolate Mountains you have
3:10
to climb up them and then through here's
3:14
a forest with chocolate trees I don't
3:17
know whether to bounce on that or take a
3:19
chomp even an inflatable couch where you
3:22
can put your shoes take your shoes on
3:25
and off upon the exit MTV Cribs has a
3:29
little display set up you can see it
3:32
hashtag right there on the refrigerator
3:35
but what I'm more interested in is this
3:38
little overlook we can get a good view
3:40
of the entire convention floor from up
3:42
there that's a brand I've never heard of
3:44
is that whole grain very squeaky stairs
3:49
are very squeaky
4:03
there it is the full-on hullabaloo it's
4:03
happening around the world the dance
4:05
stage is definitely happening about a
4:08
dozen people just showing their moves
4:09
off there's a Lego shop a lemonade stand
4:13
right there
4:15
some happy lemons down there
4:19
there's lots going on Arsenal overload
4:22
of the nerf persuasion all the different
4:26
nerf guns are stacked along this wall
4:30
with some basketball hoops for some odd
4:33
reason not really keeping up with the
4:35
theme but keeping up with the branding
4:38
oh yeah the football place to have one
4:40
of this and they come they're stampeding
4:43
in trying to find they're picking up
4:46
stuff although they have to pick up
4:47
their their foam bullets on the ground
4:50
load their weapons and then after that
4:53
they can go into battle
4:54
they've started firing the game is afoot
4:57
boom there's a guy hiding over there
4:59
behind that one
5:06
it's getting very intense if you want to
5:06
leave your mark you could take some
5:07
Legos and then stride your name you know
5:10
your social media or oh yeah it looks
5:13
like looks like green day like Green Day
5:16

5:29
machine and you can take home your own
5:32

5:35
words and letters makes me wonder is a
5:38
louder outside of the letter tornado or
5:41
inside things that make you go hmm
5:57
some hedges got some lemons growing and
5:57
people are getting a suntan under the
6:01
roof under the Rays of the lights and
6:04
they're watching everyone else swim
6:06
around in a pool of lemons which is
6:09
