HECK YEAH, IT’S MONDAY! Hahaha. We hope you’re having a good day and that you enjoyed your weekend. We decided to talk about a little something called VidCon.
To anyone who doesn’t know what VidCon is, here’s the official site’s explanation:
“VidCon is for people who love online video. Independent creators, enablers, viewers and supporters of all kinds. The ways that we entertain, educate, share, and communicate are being revolutionized. The creators attending and on-stage at VidCon are central to that revolution. The best part is, we’re having the time of our lives doing it.”
So, yeah. It happened this weekend! We love YouTubers and we're so sad because we couldn't go. Every single YouTube star attended and we didn't! THE FEELS.
YouTubers from all around the world was at VidCon meeting and greeting their beloved viewers and doing a lot of more stuff. VidCon was held at the Anaheim Convention Center. There were Community Panels and Industry Panels moderated and conformed by YouTubers and/or experts in different areas, like CEOs of famous companies. There were also Q&A sessions with different kinds of YouTubers.
Tons of viewers got to meet their favorite YouTubers at the signings. There were two types: the traditional ones, where the well-known person is seated behind a table and no photos are allowed in order to speed up the process, and photo signings, where you could meet & greet them and a professional photographer would take your pic. The Brits Zoe Sugg (Zoella), Joe Sugg (ThatcherJoe,) Alfie Deyes (PointlessBlog), Louise Watson (SprinkleofGlitter), Caspar Lee (Caspar) [he’s south african, so we don’t know why we’re putting him here hahahaha. He lives in London though], Marcus Buttler (MarcusButlerTv), Jim Chapman (j1myb0bba), Tanya Burr (pixi2woo), Jack & Finn Harries (JacksGap), Niomi Smart (niomismart), Louis Cole (FunForLouis) and Charlie McDonnell (charlieissocoollike) were part of the meet and greets. Other YouTubers also attended, like Troye Sivan (TroyeSivan18), Tyler Oakley (TylerOakley), Connor Franta (ConnorFranta), Bethany Mota (Mcbarbie07), Colleen Ballinger - Miranda Sings (mirandasings08), Alex G & Tiffany Alvord (AlexGMusic7 & Tiffany Alvord), The Fine Brothers (TheFineBros), Sandi (CutePolish), GloZell Simon - GloZell Green (glozell1), Joey Graceffa (JoeyGraceffa), Kingsley (ItsKingsleyBitch), Meghan Rienks (meghanrossette), Justine & Jenna Ezarik (iJustine & itsmejennae), John & Hank Green (vlogbrothers), Teala Dunn (Tealaxx2), Chris & Crawford Collins (Weeklychris & CrawfordCollins), Madilyn Bailey (MadilynBailey) and MANY MOOOOOORE!
VidCon also had Movie Nights. There were three different screenings for all the attendants, where they also could interact with YouTubers. They screened a surprise movie, Earth to Echo and The Fault in Our Stars.
Besides involving movies, VidCon had Festival Concerts, including the Kickoff Concert and the AwesomenessTV Concert, where people could listen to Cimorelli and Madilyn Bailey, among many others.
Sounds amazing, uh!? Well, it was. Hopefully, *fingers crossed*, we’ll be able to go someday and meet our faves! Because, let’s be honest, YouTubers really know how to brighten your day.
