Hey gents and gentlets, so you are going to VidCon.
First off congratulations, you're going to have a blast, best time in your life.
But, let's talk about a few things you need to make sure that you bring to VidCon with
you.
And I'm going to talk about those today.
First on the list is phone chargers, make sure you don't forget these, also you're going
to be using your phone nonstop texting tweeting trying to find out where your favorite YouTuber
is.
Go get one of these, it's a portable phone charger.
They have charging stations at VidCon, the problem with that though is that you gotta
sit there and wait for your phone to charge instead of going around doing cool things.
Having one of these in your back pocket then you can charge while you walk around.
And keep in mind that the size does matter.
Anything you carry around is going to get heavier as the days go on.
So even though something as big as this might be cool because it will charge your phone
three or four times something like this is nice and lite and you can fit it in your pocket.
Make sure you bring a pen for autographs and what ever it is you want to get autographed.
They are going to give you a free shirt when you register but just think about that.
Everyone's probably getting the same thing autographed so if you want to bring something
custom make sure you bring it, and make sure you bring a good quality pen that's going
to work for autographing.
You don't want to wait in line for three hours and find out your pen is dead.
Sunscreen, use sunscreen.
That's right it's all mostly indoors, however on the final day Sunday they have Disney day,
where basically 90% of the people that are in Disneyland are all YouTubers and people
at VidCon that wanted to see YouTubers.
So now you have an opportunity instead of waiting in line you can go wait in another
line inside Disney land.
The only difference is you may or may not run into your favorite YouTuber.
Use sunscreen, you need to protect yourself.
Seriously.
Backpack.
Bring a backpack.
I know they're going to give you a free little baggie that's called a backpack because it
has strings on it that are in the shape of a backpack.
Howeverwore, However, however everyone's going to be using that same backpack.
Once again you want to be able to stand out and get peoples attention.
If you have your own YouTube channel, or if you just want to be seen by whoevers YouTube
your watching.
So get a cool backpack, maybe even customize it decorate it.
Make it in your own flavor.
Make sure you bring snacks.
You have to wait in line a long time to get autographs and you're going to get hungry,
and there's not a lot of choices.
They do have food places but not a lot of options.
Bring your favorite goodies.
Not to mention it's a heck of a lot cheaper to bring them than it is to use theirs.
Now there is a Starbucks right inside the hotel right next store to the convention center.
But let's think about that for a second.
Everyone's waking up super early to go to VidCon, what is everybody going to do?
Go to Starbucks.
So unless you want to wait three hours in line to get a frapachino at Starbucks, go
bulk up a supply from your local grocery store.
Rockstar Starbucks, soda, what ever it is that gets you through to stay awake from 8am
till ten O'clock at night back and forth multiple days get it and bring it with you.
If you're flying though remember, liquids, carry on, so you will probably have to pay
extra to have the baggage or you could go to a grocery store in the area of VidCon and
buy your drinks there and bring them.
Just have them prepped in the hotel or in your backpack that you customized, and yeah.
You'll save tons of money and tons of time, which gives you more time to go see more crazy
events, you're going to have so much fun at VidCon.
A notepad or if you have a smartphone there's notepads built in but you want to go look
at all the events, all the special speakers, all the panels and you want to figure out
what you want to go to figure out what day it is, figure out on the map where it's at
in the arena so you're not running around trying to find it last minute and that's going
to give you the most amount of time to go do as many crazy things that you actually
want to do.
If you have a YouTube channel a twitter gram account, Instagram, snap-chat, if you have
a social account if you're a human being that's alive you're going to have something you want
to promote.
Make custom little business cards, you can get them at Vista Print for like $20 and have
all that information ready so when you meet all your new friends you have something to
give to them and you can actually continue that new friendship after VidCons over.
Great idea.
And good walking shoes.
I know you ladies and people.
want to wear your cute little high heels.
That's cool bring them with you.
However make sure you bring a very comfortable pair of walking shoes.
Because you're going to be doing a lot of walking.
Make sure you bring a bunch of deodorant so we don't have to smell your BO in the buildings
for three days.
You're going to have your phone with you and I know your phone has pictures and video and
stuff.
Bring a second camera whether it's a GoPro, digital camera, DSLR, something.
Bring another camera.
You can get one from like Walmart for $100 or once again Amazon Prime, yes!
But bring a camera, in case your phone dies and your charging it, or in case you don't
have wifi or in case you drop it or something like that.
Make sure you bring a second camera.
Make sure you bring a smile.
I know this sounds cheesy but you're going to meet a bunch of new people a lot of us
are becoming more and more introverted and you just want to show that you're a friendly
person and try to meet some new friends you might surprise yourself and as long as you're
looking for some positive energy I'm sure you will find more positive energy there.
Very rarely will you see a troll at VidCon, they usually don't go there.
Thanks for watching I hope this video is able to help you in your preparation for VidCon.
Also if you happen to be going and you see me at VidCon make sure you come up and say
hi, it would be super awesome to meet you.
Thanks for watching and you have a wonderful day.
Here's your free smile now you gotta go pass it on.
