start whenever I'm searching just take a
1:21
photo like that take another photo like
1:25
that and that way I can zoom in see what
1:27
I have or don't have when I get to
1:28
places and always on the I was on the
1:31
lookout for some NES games as well that
1:33
I don't have so these are the ones I
1:34
have currently so I'll do the same same
1:37
thing basically so I have what I have
1:39
and if I get to a place and I'm confused
1:42
on what I have or don't own then I can
1:45
just look at the photo that I'm taking
1:47
right there zoom
1:49
in instead of making a handwritten list
1:52
just do it that way maybe I'll find a
1:55
good NES G to add to my collection today
1:57
too clear skies cool weather
2:00
going to fuel up both car gas and coffee
2:05

2:24
going to taste good it's C so chilly out
2:27
here all right they got the Columbia
2:30
7-Eleven exclusive and french vanilla
2:33
think I'm going to go with the french
2:34
vanilla extra large if I can do this
2:37
without popping the cup
2:43
out and at the moment I for westbound
2:45
the direction I'm going looking pretty
2:56
smooth this time of day not too bad okay
2:56
I have arrived at the former Lakeland
2:58
Civic Center now the rp5 funding
3:00
Center the parking situation to get into
3:03
the lot is a little backed up here
3:05
stretching out into the
3:06
road these guys trying to cross the
3:08
street in the
3:10
cart so I guess I turn right here or I
3:13
could go straight and follow those cars
3:14
up there oh he's not turning right he's
3:16
just sitting
3:31
turnout
3:31
parking fee appears to be
3:39
$10 for a single car or if you want in
3:39
andout privileges 15 so an extra five
3:42
you can go in and
3:43
out probably just going to do the single
3:45
for
3:53
10 and I haven't purchased a ticket yet
3:53
so I have to do that probably at the
3:55
door I think it's like $40 $30 or $40
3:58
for today
4:00
I think it's like 40 is that a
4:03
headstone it's an
4:06
1,800 stamp on it
4:14
there pulling into the parking lot oh
4:14
yeah so there's more over here too take
4:16
a look at
4:23
that interesting I've been here a few
4:23
times I've never noticed that before
4:24
noticed those before all parking lots
4:28
cashless what if I pay with quarters hey
4:32
there is a definitely a line of vehicles
4:33
to get in this bad boy it's good going
4:36
to be people in there it's also exactly
4:38
10:00 I think it's 10:01 doors opened at
4:41
10: so a lot of people getting here like
4:43
I did right at the moment the door's
4:45
open what if they're going to have it in
4:47
the big Hall today or if it's going to
4:49
be the other one usually for any event
4:52
I've ever been to here with the
4:54
exception of seeing Nirvana here back in
4:56
the early '90s
4:58
is always over in that other building
5:00
but it'd be nice if the convention
5:03
actually took place in here where I saw
5:06
that Seattle grunge band on the inudo
5:18
tour entrance
5:18
one all right I am officially really
5:21
excited they are having it in the George
5:24
Jenkins Arena which is where I saw
5:27
Nirvana that is freaking cool
5:33
again I've been to quite a few of
5:35
different conventions and things here
5:37
and I've never been to one that was in
5:39
this
5:48
room all right I have oh this is pre-
5:48
purchase
5:48
ticket cash CR okay that's pre-
5:51
purchased so if I need to buy a tiet I
5:53
got to get in this line yes this line oh
5:56
the shorter line yeah okay I guess it's
5:59
it's just better that that I didn't buy
6:01
them ahead of
6:08
time so if I would have bought ahead of
6:08
time I would have had to wait in the
6:10
longer line than just getting here and
6:11
buying them that's that's a little
6:13
different
6:19
right yeah the stage when I saw Nirvana
6:19
was over here on this end was right
6:22
there circling it up in the circle P
6:24
little slam my Slam Dancing di all right
6:28
got my Saturday wristband
6:31
price was
6:33
$45 if you bought it online it was 40 so
6:35
you would have saved just a a little bit
6:38
from that aspect here's a a layout of
6:41
the convention here Jenkins arena is
6:43
where you get the registration ticket
6:45
sales merch Gaming Community boards but
6:48
then it looks like they're utilizing all
6:49
the other areas that I've been in and
6:52
again it goes on tomorrow as well this
6:54

6:55
this is some of the Flyers they were
6:57
handing out as well these are the these

little about a month after 30-year
7:11
anniversary of me standing right here
7:14
watching Kurt Cain and when I first got
7:16

you're saying The Wolf Man really is one
14:25
yeah that's a real Lego not a custom
14:28
figure
14:29

14:33
the cloaked Predator the invisible
14:36
Predator that's pretty well done all
14:38

15:48
used it
15:54
twice he's it two times in like three
15:54
months I'll go to Every thrift store and
15:56
there'll just be Stanley everywhere you
15:58
got your St and filled it up with like d
16:00
wi that's pretty good idea it would stay
16:03
cold a long time the ice stays in there
16:04
forever coffee will stay hot all day
16:08
really all day yes what I'm afraid to
16:11
melt the

straw just don't use the straw you just
16:14
use it as sipper
16:17
card 34 bucks for all three yeah and
16:20
your favorite movies right there on the
16:21
front turn to the Jedi the best
16:23
one I mean I like Empire to I think I I
16:26
don't know I think I prefer Jedi over
16:28
what is it Jedi that you like best I
16:29
think it was just the time period I
16:30
collected all the the figures and the
16:32
toys and all the action stuff so I think
16:34
it was just the time in my
16:37
life cuz I would have been nine when
16:40
Jedi come out came out yeah so I think I
16:43
was a little too young to to catch the
16:45
Empire Buzz till later in life if that
16:49
makes sense I was looking at the video
16:51
games over there I don't know if those
16:52
are yours they are
16:59
bro land
