3rd Annual You Tube Content Creators Meetup

First off never drive after having little sleep.
I was worried I would nod off at the wheel
and end up in some crazy fiery crash or something
worse.

The night before the meetup i was up really late
dutifully uploading a 17 minute video to YT then
crawled into bed at 1:30 am only to get up at 7am to
start my day....and plenty of coffee to make me really
zippy like i am a percolator myself.

I was so exhausted from the entire week i simply
forgot to shoot video of the meetup and being barely
awake for the event.

Upon arriving to the meetup there was only 12 people
myself included so i inquired but not that many You
Tubers were RSVP for the event and the food table was 
rather sparse. 
Oh yeah i brought the Banana Salad and all who had
some gave me a positive review.

Crystal from Flat Tire Farm gave me a couple bars
of her famous Goats Milk soap which she makes 
from scatch,no melt and pour for her goods as she
makes her soap from scratch...nice scents and colours.
She did say that those 2 bars were "manly" so
i accepted.

Another Lady gave a small lecture about keeping 
yourself safe while putting out content on your
channel...ie crazy people,the mentally unstable
stalker viewers and such...

Bill gave a brief talk on extra security measures
to take on YT to protect your channel.
I will email him for that spread sheet to use those
extra measures....Thanks Bill !!!!!

And Bill got on grill duty for cheeseburgers and
hotdogs,I didn't have any dogs heeding my doctors
warning but i had a couple doubles as i spaced
out eating breakfast.

Crystal did drawings for door prizes thru out 
the afternoon and i won a really nice necklace
and some beard care items.

There was another Go Pro Camera drawing
but i didn't win...again...theres always next year.

There was about 20 YT personalities there with
a few subscribers.
John In Alaska showed up with a cooler holding 
Corona Extra and Corona Light and a church key.
I knocked back 4 over the afternoon with food 
as i rarely drink and yes the beer was nice and
icy cold...Thanks John.

Dusty Bottom Boys was there with Charlie who
was having his 6th birthday and a big cake
and gifts.
We all sang him Happy Birthday and got to have 
some cake...I went for a piece and i was cut a BIG
piece with extra frosting and went for seconds.

Scott showed up and attended for a couple hours
and brought his fancy drone and his home made
slushy from his machine in a cold insulated
container and i had my first slushy...darn tootin
good. We went out to the van and he showed me
his new backpack for the drone equipment and
flew it around the parking lot demonstrating
his drone skills...I was impressed to say the least.

He has 5 drones i think and offered me his stupid 
drone as he put it...I accepted so on a Saturday i 
will drive to Los Anchorage and get it...
How stupid? I will crash a lot apparently.

Next year i will make sure to get plenty of sleep
before such an event and make lots of cookies
and a molded salad...i do need a mold to do it.

All said I enjoyed the company and friendships
i have made...its nice to be able to talk to real
people instead of just my cats.

Peace, BigT
