0:21

So I went to Emerald City Comic

0:24

Con for myself

0:26

. The last one I went

0:28

to was in 2021 . So

0:30

it's been a while and

0:33

I have to say my

0:36

mind was blown

0:38

because a new year , a

0:41

new venue , a lot of new changes

0:44

And I

0:46

have to say

0:48

I like the

0:50

changes that were made for

0:53

this year and the new

0:55

location because

0:58

, for someone who

1:00

has gone to many

1:03

of Emerald City Comic Cons

1:05

, the one gripe

1:07

that I myself personally had

1:10

was the venue . It

1:12

was just very cramped

1:14

and it looks

1:16

like they took the feedback and they

1:19

made improvements And , i have

1:21

to say , couldn't be more

1:23

happier . Now , what

1:27

? you're probably wondering . What do you

1:29

? what am I saying ? Now

1:31

we

1:33

have a convention here , convention center here

1:36

in our city , like

1:38

most major cities , where they hold

1:40

big events . Now

1:43

, the downside

1:45

with that , it's the only

1:48

convention center

1:50

besides stadiums that can hold

1:52

major events that

1:55

bring in revenue . Now , not

1:57

to say for concerts , but

2:00

things like conventions

2:03

, like comic book

2:05

industry , entertainment industry or like

2:07

business . This is the place

2:10

that holds , that can entertain

2:12

that mass

2:15

majority of people . Now

2:17

, the issue that they would

2:19

have , because there's

2:22

so many calendar events

2:25

within the year that need this

2:27

space , there would always be a

2:29

conflict of interest . So

2:31

there would have to be lots of rescheduling

2:34

going on . That's

2:36

why you would see a lot of stuff

2:38

either spaced out sometimes

2:41

the conventions would have to , depending

2:43

on the event , would have to either change

2:46

their date And there

2:49

was a lot of that going on behind the scenes They

2:52

decided that it would

2:54

be in their best interest to create

2:56

a second venue

2:59

to allow them to be more flexible

3:02

and have two

3:05

events going on simultaneously

3:07

if both dates

3:10

need to be available for scheduling , which

3:12

I think is a great

3:14

idea . If one place

3:17

is locked up for

3:19

one event , one venue

3:22

, then they're the ones free

3:24

to have the venue at

3:27

that location . So

3:29

great idea , and

3:31

it turned out . It worked well . Now

3:34

, that being said , this

3:36

venue , which is called

3:39

the summit , is by

3:42

far , i think , a

3:44

good investment for the city

3:46

. It is huge

3:49

, it is six floors

3:51

, has renewable

3:54

energy , everything from solar

3:56

panels to reuses

3:59

. The water that

4:02

it uses is filtered from the rain

4:04

That was a unique

4:06

, interesting fact And

4:09

it has so much space

4:11

. So one thing about

4:13

conventions that I can

4:15

say is that you have

4:18

to fight the crowds . It's

4:20

always crowded , you're

4:23

always going to be fighting the crowd

4:25

, and this

4:27

was the first

4:29

time that me

4:32

and my partner didn't

4:35

have that anxiety

4:38

and that stress that we were

4:41

going to have to fight our

4:43

way for all four

4:45

days to get from point

4:47

A to point B . Everything

4:53

was so . There was so much space

4:55

that you

4:57

could breathe And it

4:59

was the first Like

5:01

you could actually relax and

5:04

breathe . I

5:07

have never been at a convention

5:09

where I

5:12

felt like that before . It was . It

5:14

gave me peace of mind And that

5:16

was like put me at ease . For when

5:18

we walked in And yeah

5:21

, there was crowd . We were

5:23

moving with the crowds And

5:25

once we entered to

5:30

the new venue , the summit

5:32

, like we

5:34

didn't have to worry about fighting the crowd being bombed

5:37

. It was just a sigh relief

5:40

. The

5:42

second was just there was only

5:44

one entrance and exit , which

5:48

I thought was awesome

5:50

. The other venue just

5:52

there was too many exits , too many

5:54

entrances for

5:57

the security

5:59

to monitor and the

6:01

employees of the convention

6:03

to monitor , so that there was always

6:06

coming and going With

6:08

this venue there's one entrance and

6:10

one exit . I thought it was spectacular

6:14

It would . It made it much more easier

6:16

to monitor . The venue

6:18

from top to bottom looked new

6:20

. There were just six floors that

6:22

had three escalators

6:24

, so two

6:26

going up and one going down to navigate

6:30

traffic , which was awesome . Each

6:32

floor had rooms

6:35

like a giant room

6:37

and then around

6:39

it individual rooms for

6:41

panels . So I thought was

6:43

awesome , it just

6:45

had space , which which everything

6:48

didn't feel so clustered and crowded

6:50

, which I think helped

6:53

put my mind at ease . Now

7:01

I

7:04

think the next thing would

7:07

probably be the experience

7:11

Now

7:13

for those who have

7:15

gone to any not just a comic

7:17

con or just any convention

7:20

. Normally you're given

7:23

a pamphlet

7:25

or a guide

7:27

or a program

7:30

of what entails

7:32

for the three days , the four days

7:34

, what's going to be on the agenda . In

7:37

the past , with conventions

7:39

or for comic con , they've

7:41

had paper programming

7:44

that they would just hand out

7:46

and then you would have to , like , plan

7:49

your days through

7:52

that and then they transition to

7:54

a third party app which

7:57

was simply you'd have to download

8:00

, then download the

8:02

program and

8:04

then work through that . This

8:09

time the convention

8:11

or MSD Comic Con had

8:14

officially had their

8:16

own app , wasn't a third party

8:18

app . It wasn't someone else's

8:20

app that you had to download . It was their

8:23

official app , which

8:27

was

8:29

something new , because I

8:31

myself remember the

8:34

hurdles of

8:36

having to download that

8:39

third party app and

8:41

then downloading a program . This

8:43

was new . They had their

8:45

official app and it

8:48

was . The experience with that

8:51

was amazing . Me

8:54

talking about an app like oh , apps

8:57

are one of a dozen . I

9:01

get that , but for

9:04

things like going

9:06

to a convention

9:09

like this , where you're

9:11

going to be planning out your day and you need

9:13

to know the program of

9:16

what's going to happen

9:18

and you don't have a

9:20

guide of what time

9:23

things are going to start and you

9:25

do have your phone an

9:27

app like this is essential

9:29

to plan out your day . For

9:33

me it was like a breath of fresh air

9:35

and the app itself

9:37

was very informal . Once we downloaded

9:40

it , it was like boom . It

9:44

had everything you

9:46

needed . It showed you

9:48

the spotlight

9:50

of the guests , an actual map

9:52

that you needed

9:54

to guide through

9:56

, had a program . You could

9:58

explore

10:01

where to buy photo

10:03

ops and autographs right

10:05

there from the app . You

10:08

could set on what specific

10:10

date , timeline notifications

10:13

Each day . They're

10:15

all streamlined and

10:17

then you could set a notification for yourself to remind

10:19

yourself when a specific panel

10:22

guests

10:24

. It was very

10:26

streamlined . Then

10:29

the kicker I think it was even a

10:31

step four is they even

10:33

had within the app

10:35

free Wi-Fi

10:37

for the guests . The

10:43

other venue didn't

10:45

offer free Wi-Fi . You had to pay

10:47

for the Wi-Fi through

10:50

the convention center package

10:55

. This was a free Wi-Fi

10:57

access . They even gave you the name

11:00

of the Wi-Fi and the password

11:02

within the app . I

11:08

was like that

11:11

was amazing . They didn't have to do that , but

11:13

they did free

11:15

Wi-Fi for all attendants who were

11:17

at the convention center . You

11:22

didn't have to worry about depending

11:24

if you're in an area that you had

11:26

no signal . I'll look to the Wi-Fi while

11:28

you were here . Never

11:31

thought of that . That was thumbs

11:33

up . Another

11:38

thing that kind of threw

11:41

, you know , took me back , is that

11:43

they even

11:45

implemented a code

11:47

and bag check on

11:51

level three . That's

11:56

the same thing for a minute . Yeah

12:05

, i said that . A coat

12:08

and bag check

12:10

on level three . That

12:13

means for a lot of attendees

12:15

like myself , if we're carrying our backpacks

12:18

or bags and it

12:20

gets tiring for us if

12:22

we buy merch

12:24

or other things

12:27

that we just don't want to carry our bags while we're

12:29

at the event , we

12:31

can go in and check

12:33

our coats and bags

12:35

and still walk around and

12:39

then come back at a later time and pick

12:41

up our stuff and then go to

12:44

our hotels . That

12:50

that's

12:53

amazing . I

12:56

thought that was a

12:59

great move by

13:01

Ambroseady , comic Con and the convention

13:04

. We're going to have

13:06

so many people here . They're going to be

13:08

carrying their bags and if

13:11

they're with kids

13:13

, they're buying stuff and it's going

13:15

to be heavy for them and

13:17

they still want to attend the event

13:20

and we don't want them to go back to

13:22

their hotels and come back

13:24

. Let's give them an option

13:26

. Most

13:29

impressive , i

13:32

applaud them for that and it worked . There

13:34

was a lot of people using the bag and

13:36

coat check and it kept

13:38

them in the convention center

13:41

longer and I

13:43

took my hat off to them because

13:46

it worked . It's

13:48

one of the things I myself am going

13:50

to utilize next time around

13:52

, because one

13:55

of the things that becomes

13:58

an issue is

14:00

that , again , you

14:02

carry your bag , you have your water

14:04

and you go to the convention

14:07

and you walk around

14:09

. Over time , that bag

14:11

, if you're buying stuff , becomes heavy

14:13

and you either have to decide you're

14:15

going to go back to your hotel

14:17

to drop

14:20

off your bag or drop off some stuff and then come

14:22

back and you

14:24

don't want to miss any panels

14:27

or events that could be happening , because

14:30

by the time you have to , either depending on how

14:32

long or how far your hotel

14:34

is . So that was a very ingenious

14:37

idea for them to do that and

14:39

looking forward to maybe

14:41

utilizing that the Nexa

14:45

con . The

14:50

next thing also is just a

14:53

lot of different food items

14:55

on

14:57

every level , which impressed me

14:59

a lot . The

15:03

one thing from the other venue was

15:05

there was very limited food options

15:07

which forced

15:09

a lot of the attendees , including myself , to

15:11

go outside and

15:14

get food , and

15:16

the only option was a cheesecake

15:18

factory . This actually solved that

15:20

. There was a lot of different food

15:23

options which kept many

15:25

people from going

15:27

outside the convention to get food . They're

15:30

not the best options

15:32

still finger food but there

15:34

was enough options , reasonable

15:37

options to not having

15:39

to go out and go to the convention

15:41

center or go to another restaurant

15:44

to get some food when

15:46

you can get something for half the cost

15:48

and

15:50

hold you over . So

15:53

I thought that was also pretty good and

15:55

I think the options were like chicken strips

15:57

, pizza and

15:59

looked like a pot

16:01

pie , which that was interesting

16:03

. I

16:06

mean , there weren't

16:09

the best , but it

16:11

was the first time in

16:13

their new venue . So

16:16

they're trying and I

16:18

think come next year

16:20

, with feedback they get from everyone

16:22

, they're probably going to step up their

16:25

game , which I'm excited to see because

16:27

I feel like this was

16:30

a trial run in the

16:32

new venue , that

16:34

they're going to take a lot of input and then they're

16:36

going to make it even better . Now

16:40

, the next thing that

16:42

kind of just blew me

16:44

away was how

16:48

they implemented autographs

16:51

and what

16:53

I mean by autographs

16:55

. At conventions

16:58

. There are autographs

17:01

and photo ops by celebrity

17:04

guests . You can actually buy

17:06

an autograph or photo

17:08

op through a third party

17:11

vendor that's there

17:13

and they're

17:16

a company that does both the autograph

17:19

and the photo op . Now

17:21

, in the past , when it comes

17:23

to the autographs , you

17:25

would normally have

17:28

to go , select the day

17:30

and then select the time that

17:32

you would go have to be

17:34

at that guest

17:37

that's a lebs table in order to get

17:39

your item signed

17:41

. And

17:43

finding out that they no

17:45

longer do that anymore When

17:49

it comes to the autograph , is that

17:51

your purchase

17:54

for that day is

17:56

valid for that

17:58

day or you have

18:00

to do is check the times

18:02

for that day . I

18:08

was . I was shocked

18:10

because the past

18:13

that you were , you had

18:15

to adhere to that purchase

18:18

and that time and that date , that

18:21

if you had missed it , you

18:23

had to repurchase your

18:26

autograph either for

18:28

a later timeframe so you would spend

18:30

more money . Now

18:33

you make one

18:35

purchase for that day and your . Your

18:38

receipt and purchase , for

18:40

whichever date you pick , is valid

18:42

for the whole day . All

18:44

you have to do is check the time and

18:47

then show up for that specific

18:49

time frame . That's it , and

18:53

this

18:55

, i believe

18:58

, is a game changer in

19:00

my opinion , because

19:02

there will no longer be any

19:04

conflicts of interest if you

19:06

can go early to go get

19:09

something signed by your favorite celeb

19:12

, and

19:14

if there are already signed people lined

19:16

up , you can just go in , get signed

19:19

and then leave . you don't have to be here

19:21

to a later time frame , and so

19:24

I thought that's pretty cool , and

19:27

I don't know

19:29

how the celebs may feel about it , but

19:31

I for me , as an attendee

19:34

, i thought it was pretty nice

19:36

that I was able to

19:38

get something signed pretty

19:41

easily and then able

19:43

to enjoy

19:46

the rest of the con and

19:48

not be too stressed if I was going to miss

19:50

my time slot . And

19:52

that was like the biggest concern in

19:54

the past , which is , you were so

19:57

stressed out and

19:59

anxious that if you were gonna miss

20:02

your times , everything was like

20:04

had to be planned around

20:06

you getting your autograph

20:08

or you getting your photo op that

20:11

if there were other panels or events

20:13

you wanted to do that

20:15

they were just pushed off to the wayside

20:18

, and this allows

20:20

it to be more flexible , which I

20:22

do enjoy . I do kind of like

20:25

that . They made this adjustment

20:27

, so I don't know if this was implemented

20:29

for this time

20:31

or if it was done more

20:34

recently in the previous

20:36

con . Now

20:46

, with

20:49

this new convention center , there

20:53

were a lot more no

20:55

say more

20:59

fun for everyone to enjoy

21:01

and , with that being said

21:03

, there was a lot more things

21:06

for people to do . You had

21:08

your standard board

21:10

games , manga library

21:12

. There was just a lot

21:15

more things to do . They were

21:17

trying to bring in everything for everyone

21:19

, which I myself and

21:22

with so much space , they had to

21:24

fill up things for

21:26

everyone . And this year

21:28

they introduced a maid cafe

21:30

, which I didn't

21:33

have the opportunity to attend

21:36

, which would have been nice to

21:39

do . Unfortunately , that

21:42

was not in the cards . Now

21:45

they did

21:47

have larping

21:50

here , which that was pretty new . I

21:52

thought bringing in different

21:55

vendors and different

21:57

things and not just

21:59

making it more about comic books

22:01

and vendors is

22:04

a good way to expand the

22:06

conventions . I know a

22:08

lot of people want to be solely just

22:10

meant for comic books , which

22:12

is great and all , but it is

22:15

a melting

22:17

pot for all

22:19

things geeky now

22:21

and it was nice

22:23

to see a lot of kids dressed

22:25

up in cosplay

22:27

and enjoying

22:29

the convention . Now , when

22:31

I mentioned earlier more fun

22:34

for everyone to enjoy , these

22:36

conventions are

22:38

essentially are

22:40

meant for you to enjoy

22:42

in your own way . You

22:45

get to choose the type

22:47

of experience and the type

22:50

of fun that you're going to have . So

22:53

you go in with the mindset

22:55

of how you're going to

22:57

spend the time here

22:59

. And for me

23:01

and my partner , we decided

23:03

we were going to step outside our

23:05

comfort zone and and

23:08

march ourselves and and

23:12

what the convention was going to offer . So we

23:14

decided to do some what

23:16

they considered con

23:19

after dark events . So

23:22

we did some bingo

23:24

, nerd

23:26

bingo , which was

23:28

pretty interesting . They

23:30

tried . It was . I would

23:34

say it was pretty eventful . It

23:36

made me laugh . It was a good out

23:39

of our comfort zone

23:41

. we did go to a men

23:44

after dark anime

23:47

viewing show . With it we were watching

23:49

from episode one . That

23:52

was pretty interesting , yeah

24:15

, and normally we don't . We

24:20

don't normally do like after

24:22

dark events or you

24:24

know , once the con

24:26

shuts down we just go

24:28

to our hotel . So we were

24:31

trying to expand

24:33

that . What kind of offerings they

24:35

did . And

24:37

since it was being it's in a new

24:39

venue or like , let's just

24:42

roll the dice . So those are the two

24:44

that we tried And since

24:46

they were having this prom

24:49

event on a Saturday night , we

24:51

decided we would join

24:53

this prom night

24:55

party , which is like a rave dance

24:58

party , and it was awesome . Everyone

25:01

, geeks , merits

25:04

of all of

25:06

all cultural backgrounds

25:09

, a group who are

25:11

uncorrelated and

25:13

dancing just

25:16

dancing to music

25:18

, which I thought was pretty nice . And

25:20

they had a little mini bar

25:23

setup station for people

25:25

to drink , which was I thought was pretty nice

25:27

for those who wanted to drink , and

25:30

it was a fun time And it was a good experience

25:33

, which would never

25:35

have done if we didn't risk

25:37

it for the biscuit . As my

25:40

family would always say And

25:42

this just goes back to like fun for

25:44

everyone that these

25:47

conventions there's things

25:50

for every everyone there . So there's

25:52

things for kids , there's things

25:54

for teens , adults , there

25:56

is a lot of . We

26:00

have anime , manga

26:02

, star Wars

26:04

you just have to go and

26:06

seek it out and cosplay

26:09

And

26:13

, as I mentioned earlier , if

26:16

you've ever gone to a con

26:18

, a convention before and then you've

26:21

ever felt like , oh , this

26:23

was like the worst experience in my

26:25

life , you have to ask

26:28

yourself what were you trying

26:30

to get out of it ? Did

26:33

you want to see someone

26:36

? What was your plan ? Because

26:38

normally with conventions

26:41

of these natures you have to have

26:43

like a plan going

26:45

in . And this brings

26:47

me back to like my first

26:49

one that I've ever gone to which

26:52

I had

26:54

no plan , unfortunately . Yeah

26:56

, i mean , i'm so seasoned

26:59

, i've been to so many conventions

27:03

, i feel like I'm an expert , which

27:05

I'm not For those

27:07

I feel like . I

27:10

think everyone should go

27:14

to a convention of

27:16

this caliber , if it's Emerald

27:18

City Comic Con or

27:20

Pac West , pac East

27:22

, new York Comic Con

27:24

, san Diego Comic Con , any

27:27

pulp culture

27:30

convention event that's in your city

27:32

, if it may have it

27:34

be big or small , go

27:37

there , experience

27:40

it , be there with your

27:42

peers or people who have similar

27:44

interests as you , because

27:47

you be surprised

27:49

how many

27:51

people might geek

27:53

out on the same things that

27:56

you might be interested in . And

27:59

that was like my first , like

28:01

culture shock when I went to one of these

28:03

. Was that , how many people

28:06

like minded as me

28:08

, who have

28:10

the same interests , who

28:12

are geeking out on

28:14

the same things ? we're

28:17

all have a

28:19

love for comic books

28:21

, anime , star Wars

28:23

. We're all geeking out . Some

28:26

are showing their

28:29

geekiness by cosplaying their

28:31

favorite characters . Some

28:34

are doing

28:37

you know art , so

28:39

it they're showing it in different

28:41

ways in different mediums

28:43

. And so I feel like , for

28:46

those who want

28:48

to , who

28:55

are unsure about going

28:57

to these cons , just experience

28:59

it for yourself . Engine

29:01

will see if it's

29:03

something you want to do , to start off small

29:05

and then go from there What

29:22

Let's see . So with everything

29:24

that , so , with

29:27

my return to

29:29

or going back to

29:31

I was saying the Comic Con

29:34

, with this new venue , i

29:37

would have to say , with everything

29:39

that I experienced at

29:42

this convention , i

29:45

would have to give my overall

29:49

review of this year's

29:51

convention would have to be four

29:57

out of five stars . Now

30:00

, it can't give it five stars

30:02

because there's still room for improvement

30:04

. Actually

30:06

, we'll give it three

30:11

and a half stars . I'll correct

30:13

myself we'll give it three and a half stars because

30:15

there's still areas that

30:18

need improvement

30:20

overall for this convention

30:22

. So

30:26

just certain tweaks , things

30:29

that can be improved Now

30:31

, not saying that things

30:33

are going to . You know it's

30:35

going to be perfect , but

30:38

it's on its way to getting

30:40

there overall

30:43

and hopefully , with feedback

30:45

that the attendees

30:48

give the vendors for

30:51

Amazon and Comic Con , they'll eventually up

30:53

their game and then we can see

30:55

some improvements And

30:58

the reason why I gave it three

31:00

and a half stars is that , for

31:03

everything that I mentioned that were great about

31:06

the convention , there were also some areas

31:08

that were lacking . Yeah

31:10

, they made some

31:13

big improvements , but

31:16

there were also things that they

31:18

were lacking . There wasn't no representation

31:20

for video games . They

31:23

were displayed or announced

31:25

anywhere . Manga

31:27

was kind of

31:29

like had its own floor but also

31:31

off to itself , and it was lacking

31:34

in a bit . Comic books vendors

31:36

weren't here , they're like

31:38

off , they're like independent . So

31:41

hopefully , like there

31:43

were some vendors

31:46

that were missing , that hopefully that

31:49

next year we'll get them

31:51

back and just other

31:53

independent people will

31:55

end up coming and then

31:58

we can get more events

32:00

, more panels displayed

32:02

, and so

32:04

hopefully that would change . It

32:06

just seemed , yeah

32:09

, we had that representation there

32:11

, but it was also like lacklustering

32:14

and didn't get

32:16

the type of representation

32:19

or the advertisement

32:22

that they deserved , and so I

32:24

felt , yeah , they were present

32:26

, but they were like off

32:28

to the side And if you

32:31

didn't know where they were at

32:33

or seeking them , you wouldn't really know

32:35

. So I feel like maybe that

32:39

would get improved

32:41

. Also , the map

32:43

Yeah , they had a map , but

32:46

the map it also had

32:48

issues of displaying where the vendors were

32:51

, like their names and

32:53

updates to the map were

32:56

also lagging , and

32:59

updates to times

33:01

and things like they were like minor things , but

33:04

those things also have to

33:06

be updated as well

33:08

, because if you're looking for a vendor

33:10

or an artist and your

33:13

app says that they're located at this area

33:15

on the map and they're not there , but

33:17

it can cause some

33:19

issues or that vendor's

33:22

livelihood . There

33:24

were some things that

33:26

caused

33:29

me to give it three and

33:31

a half stars , not

33:35

saying it's bad , just saying that , with

33:37

all the good things that I've mentioned

33:39

about the convention this year , there

33:42

were some some things

33:44

that kept it from giving it that high marks

33:46

. Now

33:49

, since I did

33:51

go to the con , i did

33:54

end up making some purchases

33:56

. So this

33:58

year I I

34:01

end up getting two

34:03

autographs . They weren't

34:05

for my , they weren't for me . One

34:08

was by Nev Campbell , who

34:11

played Sydney's Prescott

34:13

and scream . The

34:17

other one is Matthew Lillard

34:19

, who played Stu and scream . I

34:22

got these for two family

34:24

members and

34:26

I got myself

34:29

a , a Vegeta

34:31

print from a vendor that I

34:33

followed for a very long

34:36

time . They had put out

34:38

a , a release

34:40

that when

34:43

it dropped it had sold out

34:45

and I

34:47

wasn't quick enough to to

34:50

pick it up and they had two

34:52

variants . So when

34:54

I was walking

34:57

, artist alley , me and my partner

34:59

were just casually

35:02

happened to walk

35:06

in front of them And

35:10

I told myself if I wouldn't , if

35:12

I didn't get the print there

35:14

, i wouldn't

35:16

miss out . And they

35:18

had a deal If I got one

35:21

, i buy another one . I guess I

35:23

can second one free , and

35:26

I should have got a second

35:29

one , not

35:32

to once if I get it later . But the print

35:34

that I got was a Vegeta

35:36

print . It

35:39

was a Vegeta print that

35:42

just . It shows his

35:44

whole history , of

35:47

all his history

35:49

. He sang the four of round . It's

35:51

just for

35:53

those who don't know . For those who don't know

35:56

, i am a huge

35:59

Vegeta fan . I

36:01

have a Vegeta tattoo on my arm

36:03

. I grew up with Dragon Ball

36:05

. Goku

36:07

was a good protagonist

36:10

, but when they introduced

36:12

Vegeta , i was

36:14

a Vegeta fan . Something

36:17

about Vegeta resonated for me . So when

36:19

they had him and he transitioned

36:22

from the bad guy

36:24

to the antihero slash good guy

36:26

, i resonated with him And

36:30

they had a print there of Vegeta and

36:32

I was able to get it . And

36:35

so I have that and that was , like my

36:37

, the one thing I got myself

36:39

, and so I'm

36:42

going to get the other print

36:45

, which is Goku , which they're

36:49

. They're part of a set , so I'll

36:51

get that later , but those are the

36:53

things that I got myself . Those

36:55

are the things I purchased at

36:57

the con , because you can't go to a convention

37:00

and not get anything . It's

37:04

completely impossible to do . Yeah

37:07

, those are my purchase

37:09

that I got while at

37:12

this year's Grammar

37:14

City Comic Con . So

37:18

that's going to bring me to the end

37:20

of this episode , so

37:23

I will see you
