TDW 1334 - Where Will I Be ? Meet Ups / Conventions

0:05 Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here.

0:05 Happy Thursday. It's my second channel

0:06 daily vlog channel. It's the Daily Woo

0:10 and I'm coming to you from the Orange

0:11 Circle. It has been a while since we

0:14 have had a little conversation at the

0:16 Orange Plaza, which is now what it is

0:19 called. I like to call it the Orange

0:21 Circle. And this

0:22 bench, we have actually perched

0:25 ourselves on this bench. Bench. Bench.

0:29 bench. It's a very hard word to say when

0:31 you're not properly caffeinated. Quite a

0:34 few times have we sat on this and today

0:36 we will actually do that again here on

0:38 this daily vlog. It looks like they're

0:40 doing something right over there. Looks

0:42 like they're doing a little construction

0:44 on that building. And you know that's

0:46 that Starbucks over in the corner. So I

0:48 wonder if maybe if Starbucks is

0:51 expanding. I'm not drinking coffee

0:53 today. I'm actually consuming a Mountain

0:57 Dew, a canned version Mountain Dew. I

1:00 drink so much Mountain Dew and have

1:02 since I was younger, not when I was a

1:05 kid, but as I got into adulthood, I

1:07 discovered the beauty of Mountain Dew.

1:10 When I used to work retail, work

1:12 overnight grocery stocking

1:14 shelves, lack of sleep, needing

1:17 caffeine, I discovered the beauty of

1:18 Mountain Dew. And then not really the

1:20 caffeine so much, but the taste of

1:22 Mountain Dew is a majestic and wonderful

1:25 thing that I have enjoyed for a very

1:27 very long time. I do go through phases

1:28 where I will not drink soda. I'll do the

1:30 water diet, stuff like that, which I

1:32 kind of been thinking about doing

1:34 another, not really a diet so much, but

1:36 another change of lifestyle where I

1:39 start to adjust my eating habits a

1:40 little bit. But more on that in the

1:43 future. Today, I want to talk about

1:45 updates on my life. And not more

1:47 importantly than the updates on my life

1:49 of what I've been up to, but also what

1:52 the future holds for where I will be.

1:54 So, I guess we could call this updates

1:57 on where I will be. When I was in

2:00 Florida last, I did a meetup at Funspot

2:03 in Orlando, which was really cool. There

2:05 was a lot of people showed up. I did not

2:07 tally up the total of people, but there

2:10 were a couple people I was in

2:13 association with and friends with there,

2:14 and they said that they think that there

2:17 was about

2:19 125 people, give or take a person or

2:21 two, that showed up. And that is that

2:23 blows my mind that, you know, I always

2:27 get I always see the amount of views

2:29 that these vlogs get and the main

2:30 channel video gets. And sometimes it's

2:33 hard to put an actual face with a

2:36 number. When you see a number, you just

2:38 think, "Oh, that can't be real. There

2:39 really cannot be people watching these

2:41 vlogs." And then when you go out into

2:44 public, which I'm always out in public.

2:46 I'm always out doing something. But when

2:48 I actually organize like a meetup and

2:51 people actually show up and say hello,

2:53 take pictures, it really is very

2:56 humbling and a very awesome feeling to

2:58 know that so many people out there are

3:01 they're real people. Like I'm a real

3:02 person. You're a real person. Sometimes

3:04 you probably have the same feeling maybe

3:06 when you're maybe watching this. You

3:08 just think like, "Oh, this is like maybe

3:09 like a you know a 2016 version of a TV

3:13 show." Sometimes reality does not set

3:15 in. People don't realize that I'm a real

3:17 person just like you and me together we

3:20 are one. We are this circle of goodness.

3:23 So when we actually put a face when I

3:25 put a face to a view and to a number is

3:28 a very fantastic very fantastic feeling.

3:31 So that is what this vlog is going to be

3:33 about. More events and things like that

3:37 meetup that I've done. I've done a few

3:38 meetups in the past. A couple in Florida

3:40 years ago. The most recent one out

3:42 there. Justin and I from Live Fast

3:45 Dipore did one a couple years ago in

3:47 Southern California. And Justin from the

3:49 Justin Scarard channel and Live Fast

3:52 Dipore Randomland series and I have been

3:53 talking, you know, we're pretty good

3:54 friends and we are always discussing new

3:57 things. And him and I, I don't want to

3:59 speak for him, but him and I basically

4:01 have the same mindset where we want to

4:03 do a meetup in Los Angeles or Orange

4:07 County in Southern California. Look at

4:10 this guy like riding bike on his on his

4:12 bike there. And he's got like a

4:15 stereo. The guy had like a stereo

4:17 blaring on the back of the bike. Wasn't

4:19 headphones. He actually had it like on

4:21 mounted on the bike somewhere. It's very

4:23 kind of loud. So Justin and I have been

4:25 talking about doing a meetup. We would

4:27 like to actually do an organized meetup

4:30 somewhere in Los Angeles or Orange

4:32 County, California. We want to do it

4:34 somewhere other than a theme park. We

4:36 don't want to do it at Knottberry Farm.

4:37 We do not want to do it at Disneyland.

4:39 And the reason for that is a lot of

4:41 theme parks frown upon organized

4:44 meetups. There are a lot of YouTubers

4:45 who do meetups and theme parks, but we

4:47 try to adhere to the unspoken policies

4:51 especially of Disney and not actually

4:54 causing, you know, like a a big

4:56 conglomeration of people there

4:57 disturbing the normal park operating

5:00 procedures and things like that. Plus,

5:02 even vastly more important than that is

5:05 not everyone can afford to go to Disney.

5:07 Not everyone has an extra few dollars to

5:09 actually pay for parking, even if even

5:11 if it's Downtown Disney or to actually

5:13 go in the park. Not everybody has an

5:14 annual pass. Not everybody has the cash

5:17 to go to a theme park. I would like to

5:19 do it somewhere where it is absolutely

5:21 free or at least moderately cheap, a

5:24 couple dollars or less, preferably free.

5:27 So, if you have any suggestions for Los

5:30 Angeles or for Orange County,

5:32 California, somewhere within an hour

5:34 drive of Disneyland area in Anaheim,

5:38 then I will definitely take that into

5:40 consideration and I'm sure Justin will

5:42 as well. So, stay tuned. A lot of people

5:45 have been asking, "Oh, look at this car.

5:46 Look, look at that old car."

5:49 Yes. Got to love the orange circle. Just

5:52 look at the ambiance and the atmosphere,

5:54 the wonderful sights and sounds and

6:02 smells. I will also be doing I posted

6:02 this last night on Facebook. By the way,

6:05 thank you for the understanding the

6:07 tapering back on social media. And I am

6:10 not abolishing social media at all.

6:12 That's not what I was trying to say a

6:14 week or two ago when I mentioned the

6:15 whole social media, you know, cleansing

6:18 a little bit. But I still am posting on

6:19 Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. You

6:21 can still follow me over there. By the

6:22 way, I hit 10,000 followers on

6:25 Instagram, which is really cool. What

6:27 I've decided to do is not post a million

6:30 times a day on those social media sites.

6:32 I'm only going to post one time a day,

6:34 maybe two times a day, maybe even once

6:36 or twice a week. It just depends

6:38 randomly. I'm going to post things that

6:40 need to be posted, not what I'm eating,

6:42 not 15 pictures of inside of a store of

6:45 something I'm looking at, things like

6:47 that. I'm not going to try to bog down

6:49 social media. So, that's basically my

6:51 new, you know, my new mission on social

6:54 media, but I did post on Facebook,

6:57 Twitter, and Instagram last night an

6:59 event that I will actually be attending.

7:02 It's not in California. I will be flying

7:04 I will be traveling to the great state

7:06 of Washington in a little town by the

7:09 name of Spokane, Washington on May, I

7:13 believe it's May the 14th. Just Google

7:16 it or you can go to their website. The

7:18 name of the convention is Lilac City

7:22 ComicCon and I have asked to be a guest

7:26 at the Lilac City Comic-Con in May. I

7:30 think it's about $10 or $12 to go to the

7:33 convention. They're going to be

7:35 cosplayers, people dressed up, other

7:37 people there that you can meet, people

7:40 writing comic books, artist, all kind of

7:42 wonderful things on this. I believe it's

7:45 a Saturday on this Saturday and I think

7:47 it's May the 14th. Do not quote me on

7:49 that. Please do your Columbbo like

7:52 research skills and look it up, but I

7:55 will be there. And the organizers were

7:59 kind enough to ask me to attend and they

8:01 asked, "Do you want to do like a table?

8:03 Do you want to do a table where you're

8:05 there all day?" And I opted for the

8:07 option of instead of doing a table, I

8:09 would just wander around, do some

8:11 filming. I will be filming and doing a

8:13 vlog from there, but also I will be

8:15 doing a question and answer and a panel.

8:18 So basically anyone that shows up and if

8:21 you are anywhere around there within an

8:23 hour or two I am inviting you come hang

8:25 out with me at this panel at the Lilac

8:28 City ComicCon. Show up before and after

8:32 the question and answer. I would be

8:34 willing to take pictures, hang out, meet

8:36 with you guys, do whatever it is that

8:39 you feel necessary, if you have made the

8:41 trek, if you have taken time out of your

8:43 day to attend this Comic-Con, especially

8:47 specifically to say hello to me, then I

8:49 will be more than willing to adhere to

8:51 what it is that you want to do before

8:53 and after the panel at Comic-Con. We can

8:57 wander around, we can look at booths

8:58 together, we can take pictures, we could

9:00 do whatever. Just letting you know that

9:02 I will be there May the 14th. Do not

9:05 quote me on that. I know it is in May. I

9:08 should have done my research before I

9:09 started this unedited vlog. The beauty

9:10 of these unedited vlogs is it's just one

9:13 take. So, look it up. Google it. Or, you

9:15 know what? Someone post a comment down

9:17 below. Post the Lilac City ComicCon

9:21 website below in the comments as well as

9:24 what day it will be. Later on, as time

9:27 goes on, I will actually have a specific

9:29 time when the organized question and

9:33 answer and the panel will take place,

9:35 but I will be there all day long. And

9:38 I'm I love conventions. I do love

9:40 conventions. Speaking of convention,

9:42 there's a lot of conventions that are

9:43 coming up in California. There's a lot

9:46 of horror film conventions that I will

9:47 probably be attending over the next

9:49 couple of months. I think most of them

9:51 start here in April. Here comes another

9:52 classic car. Look over here. Look at

9:55 that. Cool classic car right

9:58 there. Look at that. That's

10:07 awesome. See it over there? See that

10:07 car? So, a lot of conventions coming up.

10:10 A lot of people also have been asking,

10:11 Adam, are you going to be going to

10:13 VidCon this year? Which VidCon I think

10:16 is at the end of June at the Anaheim

10:18 Convention Center? The answer 100% is

10:23 yes. I will be me. I will be at VidCon

10:26 here in Anaheim. We'll be there

10:29 wandering around which will be super

10:31 super cool. So, if you're going to be at

10:33 VidCon, you can also meet me at VidCon

10:36 as well. I'll be there the whole

10:37 weekend, which I need to get my tickets

10:39 very soon for that. I'm pretty excited

10:41 because a vlogger I've been watching a

10:43 lot of lately, one of, in my opinion,

10:44 one of the best vloggers on YouTube is a

10:46 guy by the name of Casey Neistat. And I

10:49 think he announced he will be at VidCon

10:50 as well. So hopefully I can meet up with

10:52 him, hang out with him for a second and

10:55 uh that'll be kind of cool. So he will

10:57 be there, I will be there. There'll

10:58 probably be a lot of there's a few other

11:00 YouTubers that will be there that I

11:02 don't know if they have announced that

11:04 they are going to be there yet, but it's

11:05 going to be a fun time. So Lilac City

11:08 Comic-Con up in Spokane, Washington,

11:10 VidCon at the end of June. So May we got

11:13 Lilac City, June we

11:16 have VidCon, and then of course this

11:19 will be my fourth year in a row I will

11:21 be going to Dragon Con in Atlanta.

11:24 Dragon Con is probably my favorite

11:27 convention ever. I don't know what it

11:30 is, but I love Dragon Con. I love going

11:33 to Atlanta for a week, engulfing myself

11:37 in the beauty of cosplay, the wonderful

11:40 downtown ambiance, the crammed amount of

11:43 people that are there. Lot of fun. So, I

11:46 need to go ahead and get my Dragon Con

11:47 tickets and book my flight for that as

11:49 well. I will not be driving to the

11:51 Spokane thing. A lot of people when I

11:53 posted last night said, "Hey, if you're

11:54 going to be coming through this area,

11:56 maybe we can meet up. Maybe we can do

11:58 this kind of stuff." I will not be

11:59 driving my van to Spokane. I'm flying up

12:02 for a couple of days. I'll be there on

12:03 that specific day and then I'm flying

12:06 back. So, if you're in that area, please

12:08 or if you're near Atlanta, Dragon Con at

12:11 the end of August, I think it is

12:13 September. Still a long ways off, but I

12:16 definitely a thousand%, good Lord

12:18 willing, and the creek don't rise. If I

12:20 am on this earth and I have the

12:22 capability physically to be there, I

12:25 will

12:26 101% be at Dragon Con. So that's cool.

12:30 Gatlinburgg I had planned for next

12:32 month. I've decided to change that. And

12:35 the reason for that is I have decided

12:38 okay by the way also I did a video a

12:40 month ago where I was asking suggestions

12:42 about getting a roommate. I have decided

12:45 against the

12:46 roommate scenario. I started thinking it

12:49 through and I have decided not to get a

12:51 roommate in lie of a roommate. I have

12:54 had certain friends come to me and say,

12:56 "Occasionally, we would like to come to

12:58 Anaheim to go to Disneyland, things like

13:00 that. There are going to be a lot of

13:02 people going to and fro through my

13:05 homestead." So, I've created a guest

13:07 bedroom, what a lot of people are

13:08 calling the wood. And that is kind of

13:11 how I'm going to opt to have a roommate.

13:16 It's not really a roommate, but it kind

13:17 of is a roommate. That way, when I'm not

13:19 there, there will be someone watching

13:20 over the house. There will be a house

13:22 sitter, someone protecting the property,

13:24 stuff like that. And instead of having

13:26 somewhere someone there 365 days a year,

13:30 it'll only be about, I don't know, a

13:32 third of the year or half the year,

13:34 stuff like that. So, that is what I have

13:35 opted to. So, if anyone is considering

13:38 emailing me about the roommate position,

13:40 please know that

13:41 that whole that whole thing has been

13:45 filled. New decisions have been made.

13:48 Okay. So, I've talked about a lot, man.

13:49 I've I've said a lot of stuff. We really

13:51 talked about nothing. But since I have

13:53 been tapering back on social media, I

13:55 feel that I should be telling you guys

13:58 what's going on in these vlogs as

14:00 opposed to just posting things because

14:01 not everyone is on Twitter, not everyone

14:03 is on Instagram, not everyone is on

14:05 Facebook. There are more people, more

14:07 direct content and more direct knowledge

14:10 heading your way by just talking about

14:12 it in these vlogs.

14:15 AdamWoo.spreadshirt.com. You can find

14:16 the links down below as well as Adam the

14:18 Woo on Pat Gatlinburgg by the way.

14:21 Gatlinburgg I was going to do. I've

14:22 decided against that for now, but I will

14:26 be doing it

14:27 after the spring, maybe into the summer.

14:30 In fact, this just hit me. I might This

14:32 might be a good idea. Maybe I will. This

14:35 is what This is probably what I'm going

14:37 to do. This This is a good little idea I

14:39 just had. I might actually very good

14:42 percentage of a chance now that I'm

14:44 thinking about this. When I go to

14:46 Gatlinburg, when I go to Atlanta

14:49 for Dragon Con, I'm losing my train of

14:51 thought because there's a lot of cars

14:53 driving by. Another classic car went by

14:54 and I just missed it. When I go to

14:56 Gatlinburg, when I go to Atlanta for

14:58 Dragon Con, maybe I can get there a week

15:01 early, rent a car, and drive the 3 or

15:04 four hours up to Gatlinburg, do

15:05 Dollywood, do all that. That is a good

15:08 idea. That I might do. That way I can

15:11 kill two proverbial birds. Not that I

15:14 would ever kill a bird, but they're

15:16 proverbial birds. What does proverbial

15:19 even mean? And does a bird ever have

15:23 proverbiality? And if they died, then I

15:26 would just say, well, I just killed two

15:27 birds with one proverbial stone. That's

15:30 what I would do with Gatlinburgg,

15:31 Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Severeville,

15:34 that whole area. I could do that and

15:37 then go before or after in that two week

15:41 period. Yes, I like the way you are

15:44 thinking, Adam. So, that might be the

15:46 plan. So, pushing back Gatlinburgg just

15:50 a little bit because I was actually

15:52 going to go early next month. I was

15:54 actually going to go in March and a

15:55 couple people told me it's going to be

15:57 chilly there. See, when you're in

15:59 Southern California and you see the sun,

16:00 you see how warm it is. I'm wearing

16:02 short sleeves. I'm just assuming that

16:04 it's this way everywhere. But in

16:06 reality, there's a couple places around

16:08 the US that's a little bit chilly, and I

16:11 have to keep that in mind. So, I do not

16:13 want to be freezing my took us off,

16:15 which is the word of the day. Hashtag

16:18 took us. If you have made it to the 16

16:21 minute and 22 second mark,

16:24 #okus, here's another classic

16:28 car. Man, you got to love the orange

16:31 circle. I'll see you guys later.

16:35 Love you guys. Bye.
