Magfest and my first vlog
17 January 2011 | 9 comments
I’ve attended and reviewed a lot of cons already (I refer to it as my “Hey Lauren, how was [con]?” series) but this time, I wanted to do something different. GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD: a vlog.
Since I don’t think watching a person sitting and talking for five minutes is all that interesting, I made sure to add in lots of pictures and even a video clip from the convention. Also, it’s one big name drop, so you might be in it too!
One more caveat: that deer-in-the-headlights look of animal terror (mixed with the occasional expression of deep regret) is not my regular facial expression. But I’m used to being BEHIND the camera… usually that is. So, without any more caveats, check it out:
P.S. I realize now that I lied about not going to non-anime cons. SPX is totally a comic convention.
P.P.S. This ends in the middle of a statement because of a tiny mistake that would take hours to fix. I was saying “See you tomorrow, because I plan to update every day this week.”
Oooh, fun! You did a great job with the vlog and seemed more comfortable as it progressed. Can’t wait to see your daily updates!
Man, I didn’t get a sticker! I feel left out.
Where was the secret rave? That sounds kinda fun. I had a great time at magfest, definitely going again in the future.
@Spencer, you can have a sticker at our next M:TG draft. I guess I kind of forgot about the stickers when it got late and I got tired.
Cool!
The Internet is actually roommates with two friends of mine. Will never forget the first time I saw him at a con. Caught me completely off guard.
@Nate, You know the Internet’s roommates? Most surreal/best out of context concept ever.
Very well done, Lauren!
@Charles, Thanks! That means a lot coming from a guy who does as much public speaking as you do!
@Lauren
One of his roommate is in a steampunk group I take photos for which is why I sort of randomly know The Internet but not really haha
