Convention Story Time - Press at Conventions

[@burritoscanfly1]

Same goes for cosplay too. There could be a guest cosplayer, thinking they're awesome, when there's a bunch of people out at the con as attendees who have MUCH better cosplays. People just think badges make them better.

[@ConventionReviews]

Yeah it sucks

[@TurtleVegetaable]

for some reason i cant stop watching your videos, im going to die at my computer

[@PoffinSweetz]

i remember at a con called Colossalcon~ i think they were 4 guest cosplayers? either way they kinda had a group they all had beautiful cosplays but one of them was new the other three knew each other anyway the other three were talking some bad crap about the stranger one saying her hair line was showing from her wig ,saying her cosplay had tear's in it it was really rude : (

[@artistic-ampharos7979]

Jena Johnson woah that's pretty rude! I hope the new cosplayer didn't hear that, that could break someone's heart and make them quit

I've had a few run-ins with some Press thinking they are all that, personally as long as you respect me, I respect you. I try to help out others doing it for the first time too to give em a good mindset how to cover a convention. I always try to get a Press Badge to help save $$$ but provide content, but I still like to cosplay as I record.

It's old media bro they don't like to lose their power

[@claylisfletcher]

You're right about convention articles being boring! Love your videos, and it's nice because you go to conventions in my area. :) It's funny how snotty some press guys can be.

One time at my local con a crew for a news channel was there and my massive group of friends was shout-singing Let It Go (Frozen came out that year) as we were passing by where they were filming so they did a little group interview of us. The interviewer was dressed as Ozzy Osborne which was pretty cool. At some point he asked us what our names were and I had no idea if he meant cosplay or actual names since he didn't say anything about our characters and I was first in line so I couldn't even wait to hear how my peers answered. I decided to just say my name and who I was cosplaying and the guy says, "Okay, and why would you say your real name on TV?" I'm positive he meant it to be like a joke but I felt so humiliated, and on TV no less. The cherry on top was when he asked us to sing part of our song again cuz that's what originally caught their attention but I hadn't seen Frozen yet and didn't know the words so I know I looked like a total dumbass.

I've been using press badges for about 3 years, and if I'm in a pinch, I'll volunteer for photography. I always forget to take advantage of my badge (except for free Red bull lol) for the same reasons you mentioned. I'm gonna talk about what a typical congoer can expect at so-and-so con, or show them cool stuff that happened. Plus that's more fun than sitting in a room doing interviews all con, and you make better connections being an actual nice person.

[@AficionadosAssemble]

People sometimes give us a little heck about being "only a KZbin Channel" too.

[@Crowmof]

You're coming to Youma?!?! Hops to see u there!

[@CuteCoil]

anyone who thinks they're better than anyone else based on something like camera equipment, being staff, being press, or whatever....crap heads.

[@ConventionReviews]

Seriously!

[@TheFlauschig]

Thats interesting with the delay of video and picture material from official press. Here in Germany, there videos and reports get published shortly after the convention or even during the event. Anything later is an exception.

[@draskafer]

your vids rock, I went a con once and we were not allowed to bring drinks from outside of the convention inside of the convention, the staff were not rude so we said ok and threw our drinks in the trash but there was no place to buy drinks like coca cola once we were in the convention only japanese and expensive US beverages since I am from UK, It was very annoying since we had too keep going to mc donalds just to get a drink leaving most of our drink every time we went back to the con

[@MurderousJohnny]

The fact that you are young and independent and don’t need an employer to do your job makes you better than 90.Percent of the human population let alone a random hired journalist. My opinion. Ton of companies want people like you to work for them.

[@bleachdog5678]

Ya they sink I miss a con at a library so mad read about in newspaper

[@danielquach7924]

You should talk about power hungry staff at cons haha

[@ConventionReviews]

Thats an upcoming video from this con!

[@MichaelPhillipsPhotos]

That’s a terrible reason to get press passes. This is what ruins it for other people.
