0:21
it's so early in fact the wheel is not
0:24

0:27
9 47 just looked at my phone 10 o'clock
0:30
they start giving out the badges for
0:32
those who have purchased them and i
0:34
believe today thursday is sold out
0:36
saturday sold out and as you know
0:39
looking earlier i think there might be
0:41
some four day
0:43
or five day pass is left but it's gonna
0:45
be a busy one
0:47
it's gonna be a busy one i love that
0:49
fountain over there
0:51
it has the five circles that make up the
0:53
olympic logo
0:57
that's like a hidden mickey from here
0:57
too welcome everyone adam the woo here
1:00
when a sunburst is in view might as well
1:03
utilize it
1:04
for an intro
1:06
this whole weekend
1:08
i don't know what i'm going to see i
1:09
don't know what i'm going to do but i
1:10
know i'm going to experience
1:12
the wrath of dragon
1:15
con get it rather khan shatner i think
1:18
shatner's going to be here too
1:19
join me
1:20
it's going to be fun
1:22
shall we charlie just went by for a
1:25
trade i also just realized i probably
1:27
should have had my sunglasses
1:32
on during that because yeah it's a
1:32
little bright sunny out here okay i
1:33
gotta walk this way about a quarter mile
1:35
to the convention also because i was
1:36
standing on the other side of the sun it
1:38
was kind of it was kind of blocked out a
1:39
little bit also this is kind of a wheel
1:41
of fortune moment what does this say
1:44
you decide okay it looks as if some sort
1:46
of line is already starting to formulate
1:48
for the badge pickup oh
1:51
cars getting engulfed with con goers
1:55
the sheridan is where you pick up your
1:56
badge each and every year
1:58
fun fact this will actually be my
2:00
ninth year would have been 10th year but
2:02
2020
2:03
it didn't happen and the line does not
2:05
disappoint very lengthy stretches
2:08
a couple a couple different double backs
2:10
stretches from there
2:11
all the way down past
2:14
the sheraton and then around the block
2:16
and as i've done in former years gonna
2:18
go see how long
2:20
the line stretches but from here
2:27
looks like it goes down and around that
2:27
corner okay surprisingly not too
2:30
too terribly bad
2:38
yeah i think i'm going to go ahead and
2:38
jump in line
2:40
i first attended this back in 2013 and i
2:43
went 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 didn't happen
2:47
21-22 so take ten
2:50
minus one nine years
2:52
would have been ten years in a row like
2:54
yeah a little gray area there no one was
2:56
here
2:57
there was no convention
2:59
you gave me a pass on that one
3:02
nine out of ten years would have been
3:04
ten in a row
3:05
all right i was incorrect about how the
3:07
line was shorter than i thought it was
3:09
it's a lot longer than i thought it was
3:11
i guess there was just a pause at what i
3:12
showed him i'm gonna go darth maul's in
3:14
line here
3:15
the sun is kind of brutal out here isn't
3:17
it darth vader yeah
3:18
all right have fun
3:20
okay i have reached the turning point
3:22
now
3:23
this is the turnaround point here
3:25
there's no end to it
3:28
all right everyone bring the line around
3:30
me
3:32
captain america here
3:37
all the superheroes are out yeah i
3:37
believe the line is growing by the
3:39
minute so i'm glad i got here early
3:42
hey how's it going
3:43
4 10.
3:44
if i got here a little later i think
3:46
it'd probably be worse please make sure
3:48
you have them
3:49
you don't have to wear it right now but
3:51
you do when you step into the hotel
3:54
if you do not have one one will be
3:57
provided for you closer to the entrance
4:01
okay they're saying if you're inside you
4:02
must wear a facial covering
4:04
i do have one kind of curious to see
4:07
kind of curious to see
4:09
how many people go with it and just see
4:11
throughout the course of the weekend if
4:14
they still keep them on let's see what
4:15
happens all right looks as if i'm about
4:18
to head
4:19
inside now
4:20
so i've almost got inside curious to see
4:23
what the double backs look like in there
4:24
and this is just one of the five host
4:26
hotels there are five plus you know kind
4:29
of stretches out in the downtown
4:31
as well
4:37
follow the blue line my shoes kind of
4:37
match the blue line here
4:42
i believe this is the first time that
4:42
they've had two ballrooms that you could
4:44
go in also you must have underlined some
4:47
kind of id
4:49
to pick up your badge
4:50
just any kind of id and in order to stay
4:52
hydrated they got some water here
4:54
again
4:55
all badges must be bought online and
4:58
have the qr code ready
5:00
all right
5:01
heading in here
5:05
never been in this room before usually
5:06
it's the other one now there's two two
5:07
sections yes the crowds are getting
5:08
bigger
5:15
okay that took about a half hour i would
5:18
say
5:19
and i did download the app for the
5:22
con but basically the app is the mobile
5:25
version of what this is so if you wanted
5:27
like a quick start guide or a little
5:29
souvenir
5:30
you could get this i don't really like
5:31
carrying a lot of stuff on me so
5:33
not gonna i'm not gonna grab one of
5:35
those because i did download the app
5:36
which is very
5:37
very nice but then there's also the
5:39
program book
5:40
which are pretty nice you know little
5:42
souvenirs maybe i'll grab one later but
5:43
right now
5:44
i didn't bring anything to carry carry
5:46
stuff around then
5:49
and here are all is all the host hotels
5:51
and other things so i'm at the sheraton
5:53
now registration in the grand ballroom
5:55
there's also the americas mart which i
5:57
don't think opens till tomorrow on a
5:58
friday
5:59
that is where the vendor room is
6:01
and then there's also the vendor hall
6:02
over there as well then there's the
6:04

6:11
get the app
6:13
i did all right accomplished this is my
6:15
badge for this year
6:17
this is the ninth one i'll have in my
6:19
collection i have like a whole
6:20
collection of these
6:21
september 1st through the 5th
6:24
and
6:25
dragon con emblem there and around the
6:27
back there and i can remember a time
6:29
when they would not give you a land you
6:30
had to bring your own land here to
6:32
purchase one but now they have included
6:35
a lanyard and just a peek in the second
6:37
ballroom that everyone where everyone
6:40
is lined up
6:47
a lot of people getting their badges and
6:47
checking out the store itself here's
6:49
some of the prices
6:51
and different items there is a purple
6:53
plush dragon
6:55
25 so you can get
6:58
and it's located over here and the line
6:59
doesn't look too bad at the moment got
7:02
some sweatshirts up there for 40 dollars
7:05
not too bad of a price for
7:07
a sweatshirt but i like that one there
7:09
25 oh look at that
7:17
because you could classify that under
7:17
like the ugly sweater style
7:20
and you got the hoodie on the end over
7:22
there
7:23
yeah i might have to get a t-shirt at
7:24
some point all right now walking out
7:26
being told that the line is going up and
7:27
around oh look at this stop
