9
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: in what we've got to discuss in terms of I'm

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: a huge nerd and I love talking about nerd things.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: And today we're doing my recap on jack Con twenty five.

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: Mine are spoilers for the last of us to buy

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: the Oh really yeah.

14
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: Yep, I can't help myself. Okay.

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: So if you've somehow missed it, Dragon Con is this

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: huge convention in Atlanta. Next year will be its fortieth year,

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: and it is just a place where people come and

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 1: they cosplay and all kinds of very funny nerd things happen.

19
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: This year, they had seventy five thousand people. According to them,

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: it was very, very busy. And today I'm just going

21
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: to go over some of the things I saw, some

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: of the things I really liked. So one of the

23
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: things that happened this year was I'm kind of a

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: I'm an old pro at this point.

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: You know, I've been there, I've seen it.

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: You can never see everything dragon Con has to offer,

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: but I feel like I've seen the major things. I

28
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: had two newbies this year, so I got to show.

29
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: Them around and kind of maybe.

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Wax poetic about my expertise or to go. And I

31
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: went to the vendors Mart. I haven't done that in years.

32
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: I just thought controversy about the vendors Mark.

33
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's I've always known the Mart is

34
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: a mess, and plus like how much money you have

35
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: to pay to get in where you get placed, how

36
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: much money you have to earn to make it worth it.

37
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: I will say we went. We got in this huge line.

38
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: It looked like the Batman at six Flags if you've

39
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: ever seen that, like in a warehouse.

40
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: We were underground.

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Is that America's Mart?

42
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: Right?

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: Yes?

44
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: They had us in some kind of parking garage. It

45
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: was a whole thing. But we got in and it

46
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: was fun. And the people I went with, the newbies,

47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: they're coming back, and that warms my my hall.

48
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: They liked it so much.

49
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I don't think we explained this, but

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: like the vendors, Mart is not in the same spot

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: as the actual convention. There is a thing called America's

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Smart which has like wholesale for other stores essentially, and

53
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: it's like what three or four buildings, it's pretty big.

54
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's four buildings. I think the main there's two

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: main ones that are used.

56
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: There are like wholesales that happened twice a year and

57
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: people can get in with refel and it's intense.

58
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's very intense. It's very crowded. There's a

59
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: reason I stopped going right And I.

60
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: Know, like my partner the one year he went with y'all,

61
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: they were trying to get into there and they're like,

62
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: and then they waited till the very last minute because

63
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: they knew people were trying to sell things fast and

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: not as crowded.

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: So just insiders.

66
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: I used to do that. Outsider.

67
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: I used to do that because Dragon con currently, I

68
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: think things.

69
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: They try to change it.

70
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: But currently it's a Thursday to Mondays situation, and the

71
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: convention ends Monday at four pm. And I used to

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: stay Monday and I would go to the mart and

73
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: that's when they were selling things at a discount. But

74
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: that's also when a lot of stuff was sold out,

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: so true. Yeah, you got to make your you got

76
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: to make your decisions. This year was also a very

77
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: big year for ribbons and gifts. I know I've talked

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: about this before. People like to hand out ribbons that

79
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: are very comical. I got some that I don't know

80
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: what they mean. I hope they're not offensive. I don't

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: think they are, but I don't know the meaning.

82
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: I should have a debate about what they are and

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: ask people what do they think that means.

84
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: I've been told it's based on the movie Clue.

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I know that movie. I can help.

86
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: It's like, I hate you so much, I want to

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: burn I hate her so much, I want to burn

88
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: your face.

89
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: My face. Yeah, yeah, it is a classic line.

90
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: It's not offensive, just rage, the rage, the written and

91
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: then she just they just met with she could never

92
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: say it out loud.

93
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 4: I love this and it's one of the best comedians

94
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: in there.

95
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: But yes, go ahead, keep going. I'm very trun to

96
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 3: hear that.

97
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 4: I have heard that one.

98
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: I was just worried because I didn't know what it

99
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: was from enough. I really hope this is not so

100
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: you know it's not.

101
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if people hand out ribbons, you put them

102
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: on your badges. They have a cult of the ribbon

103
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: and they have a ribbon contest to see how long

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: it goes, and they people have so many ribbons and

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: it'll drop down like three four stories.

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: I saw a video of a dude and the person

107
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: who was making the video was not the owner, and

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: they were like, we couldn't never see who it belonged

109
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: to because it was so long. This is Missus White's

110
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: line Madeline Kahn, who is an icon. She is an

111
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: icon in the comedy world. But moving, Yeah, it needed

112
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: to be good.

113
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I appreciate that. Thank you. I'm glad you helped

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: solve this mystery for me.

115
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: You were good.

116
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: Okay.

117
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: I had one of my friends. She got a ton

118
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: and part of that is like she was handing out gifts.

119
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: So this has become another thing where you hand out

120
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: little trinkets or just all kinds of stuff. But she

121
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: was handing out gifts. People loved them, they absolutely adored them,

122
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: and so she got a lot of ribbons in return.

123
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: That's an art form to be able to do a

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: good gift or meme and have people love it.

125
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all they would. It was so sweet. They

126
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: were so excited and people are putting them like all

127
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: over it. You could just find them resting anywhere.

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 3: It was. It was a whole thing. So that was

129
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: really fun.

130
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: I did I forgot to put this in my mini

131
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: outline that I have up right now, but I did

132
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: mention previously that I'm always worried about a violence gun violence.

133
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: At dragon Con, they had.

134
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: A lot more police than I'm used to a dragon Con,

135
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: and they have this thing where they like peace keep weapons,

136
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: which is like they mark them somehow that they're not

137
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: actually weapons.

138
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: This is the first time this has ever happened to me, Samantha.

139
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: I had to go and get my lightsabert my lightsaber.

140
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: Is there an actual function functioning lightsaber that's a weapon?

141
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: Is there a thing?

142
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: There is a functioning lightsaber that like one dude has made,

143
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: but it's very clearly not with a plastic thing.

144
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: I wasterrestic they.

145
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: Stop your arm like from the Buckey outfit.

146
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: Okay, no, they made me get my lights.

147
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: Wow, well it could be deadly. I see it. I

148
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: see it.

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could hit somebody with it. It would sting

150
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: mildly but anyway, that was something new. I noticed something

151
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: fun Dragon Con does is all the hotels, the host

152
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: hotels are themed. Uh so this year there was a

153
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park theme, there was a how to Train Your

154
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: Dragon theme, But my favorite, of course was the horror

155
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: movie theme. And they had a whole wall where people

156
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: were writing their favorite horror movies and it was just

157
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: I loved it.

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: That was so cool.

159
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Another thing I love always people getting really excited about cosplays,

160
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Like people get so excited.

161
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: So I did go one day as the.

162
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: Winter Soldier, kind of a lazy version because I didn't

163
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: do the whole thing, but I had the harm on,

164
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, the basics, and like people would just like,

165
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: oh this fucking you know, be so excited. My friend

166
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: went as this character from SpongeBob that I knew was

167
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: going to be a hit, and it was within ten

168
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: minutes at least I would say eight to ten people

169
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: had shouted at her.

170
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: He was number one. Yes, I knew.

171
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: She also went as Princess Mononoke, and that's where she

172
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: was handing out the gifts and that it was clear

173
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: that that costume meant a lot to a lot of people,

174
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: so she got a lot of pictures taken and she

175
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of gifts and it was really cute.

176
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: It was really sweet.

177
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: And then yes, I did go as disco Luke, which

178
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: is my my go to and it was fun because

179
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: I've gotten people. I've like started to slowly get people

180
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: know what it is. A lot of people still think

181
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm like some version of Wonder Woman, or I got

182
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Sabre for the first time, which I hear is a wrestler.

183
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: That's a new one for me. So I still get

184
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: a lot of I don't know what you are, but

185
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: you look good.

186
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: You need to have So.

187
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: I saw a dude with a ribbon that they would

188
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: mistake his character. So when they would mistake his character,

189
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: he would sit, I'm not so and so I'm this.

190
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: You needed to have that.

191
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: I think.

192
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a rest at Dragon Con is

193
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: like when somebody confidently guesses your cosplay incorrectly.

194
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got somebody.

195
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: I think this was a whole mix up, but they

196
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: some guy asked me, who are you? I've seen this before,

197
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: and someone next to him said, oh, she's Reptar and

198
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: I was like, no, what, No, But I think she

199
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: was thinking he was talking to someone else.

200
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I can make.

201
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: Sense of that interaction, but I never got to correct it,

202
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: so he was just like, oh, reptar, No, not reptar.

203
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: That was a weird translation of reptar. Yeah, the helmet

204
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: with the wings. I guess maybe if you were.

205
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I should get a ribbon like that.

206
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: I've been meaning to do something like that.

207
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: I think next year you should print one out and

208
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 2: then give it to him, just so that when they're wrong,

209
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: you just have nope, I'm disco look and then put

210
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: a little link.

211
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.

212
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 3: I like that. I like to do that. I would,

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: I would.

214
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: I had on my dragon con list from last year.

215
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: I needed to print a business card where they could

216
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: say in a QR link.

217
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: So a ribbon ryb because people attach it. It's kind

218
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 2: of a shame thing. But at the same time, a.

219
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: Reward it's black called world ward.

220
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, all right, next next year, I also need

221
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: to I need to improve some things wear and tear.

222
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: My costume is scene.

223
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I found it interesting when I was watching the

224
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: videos I was on the prowl.

225
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: I will say.

226
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: For all of any of the cap pop DNA hutters,

227
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: you specifically because I was like, you're so like unique

228
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: that I was like, surely I never did see you.

229
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: I was sad about that except for like friends, friends

230
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 2: of friends, but in just like generic, I don't know

231
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: these people. I saw one that was the Ramen Cups

232
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: from Cap Pop DTA Matter, and I loved it because

233
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what that is? That is amazing.

234
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: I didn't see too much more until it popped up

235
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: on events and I saw the single long event that

236
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: happened there, and that apparently was like roomful. They had

237
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: to cut people out and people were up and they're like,

238
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: they need to do it in a bigger room next time.

239
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: And then they had a dance party specific two Okapa

240
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: Demon Hunter O. So I was like, okay, they had

241
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: actual memorials for Genus.

242
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw it.

243
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: I was like, yes, but I didn't see.

244
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: Too many people until like they I think there was

245
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 2: one that finally showed a group of them.

246
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: I was like yay.

247
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: But I saw a lot of like reminiscent costumes like

248
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: that that I'm like, Oh, they're bringing these back, Why

249
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: what's happening.

250
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 4: I'm thinking some.

251
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: Of them had to relay with the actors, but there

252
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: just seems to be a lot of throwback and did

253
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: I just imagine that?

254
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Uh No, you didn't, No, you didn't.

255
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: And I have my list of what I saw.

256
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: I do want to note before I move into that,

257
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: there are a couple of things that I saw this

258
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: year that I really liked.

259
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 3: One is, we can always do better, and.

260
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: There were like some instances that were clear where we

261
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: could do better this year. But there was a lot

262
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: more diversity this year. I have to say it has

263
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: gotten better. There was a lot of men God's playing

264
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: as women, which I enjoyed. And then there was a

265
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: lot of kids stressing up, which I always lost.

266
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: That's all that too.

267
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, more kids coming. I did see

268
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: a perspective. So the little controversy that I had seen

269
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: was that a dude a group, an art group for vendors,

270
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: came in without disclosing their art was AI Oh and

271
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: they've been going to several different cons and apparently a

272
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: big company in Florida that have been doing this. And

273
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 2: the minute that Dragon Con found that out, they were

274
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: kicked out immediately because they were like, Nope, we can't

275
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: have this. You didn't disclose it was AI art, And

276
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: like people were pissed and like like and they were

277
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: really defensively like, well you didn't tell us, we had

278
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: to blah blah blah.

279
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 4: They're like, I think it's fairly.

280
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: Noted for events like this you have to disclose at

281
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: the very least that it's AI And it got public

282
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: like recognition and dragon Con being like, all right, way

283
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: to stake your guns because the Bailey's why are you

284
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 2: not disclosing it?

285
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 4: But that was that was.

286
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 2: One of the big controversies I So I was like, well, bam,

287
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: huh dragon Con. Standing on business, yeah, they've got a

288
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: they've got when you like get a pass.

289
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: The rules are quite long, so I would only imagine

290
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: what it's like for a vendor. And a lot of

291
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: them were very clear like, oh, snowy I in this,

292
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: So that's interesting to know, interesting to know. Okay, so yes,

293
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: let us move into some of the big things I saw.

294
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Oh yes, Now this being said, I did have a

295
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: discussion with my friends where I tried to ask them

296
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: what they thought, because there is kind of a bias, right, like,

297
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: if I don't know a costume, then I won't pick

298
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: up on it as much. There is one I'm going

299
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: to talk about that even though I didn't know it.

300
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the biggest costume here. I

301
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. And I will talk about

302
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: that a second. But so we're going to go through

303
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: some of my biases for a minute, where these are

304
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: the ones that there weren't that many of but I did.

305
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: I was like that one. And then we got to

306
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: start with the last of us.

307
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 4: I saw one.

308
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, okay, so there was I saw a

309
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: Joel with a golf club sticking out of me nil

310
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: and it was great. And then I saw an Abby

311
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: and a Joel and an Ellie from the second game

312
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: in a Joel and the Abby saw the other Joel

313
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: and confronted him and he was like, I'm so sorry,

314
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: please don't do this, and she was like raising her golf.

315
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: It was excellent. I loved it. I wanted to see

316
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: at least one Abby and one one golf called Joel,

317
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: so check. Yes, I did see a lot of what

318
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: we do in the shadows, A lot of really fun

319
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: fun takes on that.

320
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: That's a very big couple's costume.

321
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking about, like the cost teams that always

322
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: have like at least two people. I feel like what

323
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: we Do in the Shadows is one of those. But

324
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: I saw the Cursed Hat, which I love. I did

325
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: see an office cup the World's Best Boss, which I

326
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: thought was just a funny costume that somebody came as

327
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: the cup. There were some people dressed as the Burglars

328
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: from Home Alone, and they were hilarious.

329
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: I saw that they were a hit because I alway

330
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: saw them several times.

331
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: They were very because they would go up to you,

332
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: but like I say, you, I do. They were very interactive,

333
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: so that was fun. Also, the people in the inflatable

334
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: dinosaur suits, they are hit every year. They come in

335
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: all different shapes and forms and colors and patterns and

336
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: they are amazing and we were lucky enough to accidentally

337
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: run in on their gathering. There's a lot of them

338
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: cartoon characters, so there were a lot of like throwback

339
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: cartoon characters. SpongeBob was a big one, fairly odd parents,

340
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: pretty big and very niche characters within these shows, so

341
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: that was really fun. The Mummy, yeah too. The Mummy

342
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: was big. The Mummy was big. There was a lot

343
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: of fun interactions with different Mummy characters.

344
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed that, and I was all kind of

345
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: knowing the lines.

346
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so is it his name Odette? And is that

347
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: the character? Yeah, he was actually there. He was actually there,

348
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 2: So I wondered if that was Like I'm sure they

349
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 2: also loved the movie because that's never going to end,

350
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: but I wonder also because he was there.

351
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I think so.

352
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, when people see a certain actor is

353
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: going to be there, a contingent of actors is going

354
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: to be there, then that costume might be more. But

355
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: there were a lot of people from the Mummy this year,

356
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: and they were really fun. They were like quoting the

357
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: lines and it was excellent. I happened to run into

358
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: a Wallaweigi Warrior just a train of people.

359
00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: It was excellent.

360
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: There was a lot of Sinners, a lot of people

361
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: from Sinners. There was kind of a whole like building

362
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: thing that they brought from Sinners and that was really cool.

363
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: Gladys from Warriors, which I knew, I knew she would

364
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: be there. She was there.

365
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: And here's one of my favorite interactions I had.

366
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: So we were on the elevator with a family like

367
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: two kids, young kids, and.

368
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: On walks.

369
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Terrifier as Santa oh No with blood coming out of

370
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: his eyes in his mouth and he's holding a decapitated head.

371
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: He looks down at the kids, doesn't break eye contact,

372
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: doesn't move, looks up at the parents, looks back down

373
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: at the kids, and then turns around, and the rest

374
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: of the elevator ride was in silence. What was the

375
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: kid's reaction, Well, eventually the parents were like they seem

376
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: on face.

377
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 4: Good on that dude, though, or the person was like,

378
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 4: you know what, I think I've already traumatized them. I'm

379
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 4: gonna go ahead and I'm a back out. I'll let

380
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 4: you go.

381
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: I don't wanted to be stuck with y'all. It was excellent.

382
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: It was so funny, Like the silence say that.

383
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Descended when he stepped in the elevator was epic because

384
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: we were all like, that's.

385
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 4: Amazing, hystorical, ill everything about that.

386
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 5: Kids, Oh my gosh.

387
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: All right, So those are my what I would call

388
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: my biases. What I saw a lot or stuck out

389
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: to me. Here's what I'll say, there was a lot

390
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: of The one that I was referencing earlier was Expedition

391
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: thirty three Clear Obscure, which is a French video game.

392
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: I had no idea I've heard of this game, but

393
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: I didn't recognize the costume. This was by far the

394
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: one I saw the most. I think it's because it's

395
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: a pretty simple costume to pull together. And I say

396
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: that with no judgment, but it's it's essentially like a

397
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: red and white shirt and a French baguette and a

398
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: French hat. But my goodness, there were so many people

399
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: dressed as that that we had to look it up.

400
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: We had to figure out what is this? So that

401
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: was number one K Pop. Deeph Hunter was really big,

402
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: mostly roomies. There were a lot of roomies of all ages,

403
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: like very cute kid and some g News And as

404
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned, there was a g New shrine. So there's

405
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: like a skybridge hallway where dragon Con tradition is.

406
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: Because we make these shrines. Uh. That was one of

407
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: the ones that.

408
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: The one I saw that had one hundred dollar bills

409
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: in front of it. I was like, what why.

410
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't know shrines they written more elaborate as the

411
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: years have gone on. If you know anything about dragon Con,

412
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: there's also several cults of dragon Con, the cults of

413
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: the Marriott Carpet, but also there's the cult of John

414
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and John was a cardboard cutout in front of the

415
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: FedEx that just turned into a shrine.

416
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: And now there's a whole cult. There was also a

417
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: Jesus that got destroyed.

418
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: I went back away from that one, but whoa, it

419
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: was destroyed and shoved behind the side.

420
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 3: I found it.

421
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, Yeah, I don't need

422
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: to step being on that one. Uh. But yes, there

423
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: were and I have failed in my task to you, Samantha.

424
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: I took zero pictures I know of anything.

425
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 2: Not once I thought about texting you and I was like,

426
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll get it.

427
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's difficult when you have like your drink and

428
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: I have the gloves, and that the phone is in there's.

429
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: A lot you're also a spectator, and that that there's

430
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 2: so much going on. You shouldn't you should be in

431
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: those moments.

432
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I rest assured they were really good and

433
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: there were a lot of them.

434
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 4: I saw a lot of the boo boos, which I.

435
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Was like, oh, I did not think that would be

436
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: a thing, but yeah, okay, that makes sense.

437
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's I saw a lot

438
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: of things that I was like, Wow, I'm surprised you

439
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: were able to pull this together so quickly.

440
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 4: So quickly.

441
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: I saw Teletubbies and then one haunted Teletubby and I

442
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: was like, Nope, don't like that.

443
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's good. Okay.

444
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Another thing I saw a lot of, of course Star Wars,

445
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: but in particular obi Wan Kenobi was having a year.

446
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a year for obi Wan Kenobi.

447
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: I like the Sesme Street ones. Yeah, that was a

448
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 4: thing for me.

449
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: That's good stuff.

450
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: I saw an obi Wan that looked so good. He

451
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: looked like obi Wan from like episode two. Maybe he

452
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: was getting so many ribbons. He was on the floor

453
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and he was just trying to attach his all of

454
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: his ribbons. And this guy, like this whole group but

455
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: led by this guy dressed as Darth Maul, came up

456
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: to him. And if you don't know, obi Wan and

457
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: Darth Maul have a very they're they're big enemies. Uh

458
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: and Darth Maul famously is always trying to kill obi

459
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Wan and cannot. So oh, this Darth Maul approaches this

460
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: obi Wan and they proceed to do this ritual. I

461
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: don't know how to describe it, but they like laid

462
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: out an old Marriott carpet, They poured some tea, and

463
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: they sat in these seats and it happened so quickly,

464
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: like they just unfolded these tables in these seats and

465
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: they poured this tea, and this obi Wan guy was

466
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: like okay.

467
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 4: And just say, did he know what was going on?

468
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: I No, I don't think he did.

469
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: He went with it, though I have a video of it,

470
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: and I'm still confused as to what was happening. But

471
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: it was a very amazing, Like I love that you

472
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: can stumble upon these things. I'd be like, what happened there?

473
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yes, obi Wan had a big ear.

474
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. I have to say, there's more Taylor Swift

475
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: than I thought there would be. Also had a big ear,

476
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: Squid Games pretty big. And then there was a lot

477
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: of anime. And I feel bad about this because my

478
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: good friend Katie, who went with me, she typed out

479
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: this whole list of anime characters that were there because

480
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm not that familiar with the anime.

481
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: But I feel like we're going a bit long already,

482
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: so I'm not.

483
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: Going to go through all of them. But I will

484
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: say one that, even though I don't watch anime, I

485
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: noticed was Demon Hunter and she was the one that

486
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: told me she's like, oh, that's demon Hunter, which is

487
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: kind of like a blue black plaid.

488
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: Situation.

489
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: But there was a lot of anime there, and she

490
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: gave me quite a long list, so anime having a

491
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: big ear, Yeah, but those were my those were my

492
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: big standouts. There's a lot, like I could go on

493
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: and on about the random ones I saw that I

494
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: was just so tickled by or impressed by how creative

495
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: they were.

496
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 3: I did run into Holly, come with your friend, Holly.

497
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: You just run into all kinds of people there that

498
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: you were like, Oh it's you. I haven't seen you

499
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: in a while. But I had a good time I could.

500
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: How would you rate this experience out of all the experiences?

501
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: I would write it very highly. I think it's it's

502
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: different because we've been doing it so long so and

503
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: also I'm older, so it's kind of a lot more

504
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: downtime than I used to have at dragon Con. But

505
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: it was great and I do love seeing all of

506
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: the things people come up with and all of the nerdery,

507
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,080

508
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,879
