This was definitely one of my favorite experiences. I’ve heard about Stream Con at the beginning of 2015. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go or not because the only youtuber I knew that was going was Louise so I decided to put it off for a while until they announced more youtubers. Then, later during the year they announced Connor Franta, Rosanna Pansino, Ricky Dillon, James Maslow (From Big Time Rush) and one of my favorite youtubers of all time, Joe Sugg. Since Joe was going I decided I had to go because I’ve always wanted to meet Joe and this was his first meet up event in NYC. So I got as many meet and greets as I could and a weekend ticket. My badge came in the mail a week before Stream Con and I had printed out all my meet and greets and I was ready to go.
Friday wasn’t that much because most of my meet and greets were on Saturday instead of Friday. But I really wanted to see Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart’s show happening that night. So we got to the Javits Center (where Comic Con is also held is well but obviously not the same day.) and I really wanted to see Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart’s premiere of what there will be their new show of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. So we get our wristbands and a map of the place. Before that happened, we went towards the meet and greet area where there were rows and rows of tables and signs above that said Meet and Greet 1 to like Meet and Greet 13 or something like that.
Some girls gave me free meet and greets for Lauren Giraldo, Timmothy DeLaGhetto and Taryn Southern. I knew of Lauren and Timmothy but I didn’t know Taryn that well but she was really nice. I took selfies and regular pictures with everyone (since they allowed regular cameras as well). Lauren followed me on twitter when I met her and took a selfie on my phone.
After the meet and greet, we went to see grace and Hannah. I didn’t actually know that Hannah was going to be there since she wasn’t on Stream Con’s guests list but I guess since it was her show too with Grace, she had to be there. They then premiered three episodes and we couldn’t have our phones out because they didn’t want any spoilers to be put on social media.
After that, we waited a while before we went to a theater area for Grace and Mamrie’s show. It took a while before they actually came on stage since Mamrie was a little sick so I understand that. I couldn’t stay for the rest of the show though because there was a cab waiting for us outside. It sucked but there was nothing that we could’ve done about it. But overall, it was pretty fun and Grace and Mamrie definitely know how to put on a show. They interacted with fans and have them compete in a little contest and took selfie’s with them on stage, it was great.
I’m going to write another post about the second day because I don’t want this to be too long. I also did more stuff on Halloween since it was my busiest day at Stream Con so I don’t want to overwhelm everyone with all of this information. But, below are my pictures from meeting Lauren, Timmothy and Taryn as well as a picture from Grace and Mamrie’s show :). I also wore my O2L shirt both days because you know, why not right?
