Aaahhh, thank you for the shout! That was me handing out the rat colony bracelets

[@PowrDragn]

The rat colony was large.

[@blobzombie]

I visited Chicago a lot as a kid, and it was a lot of fun, especially going to the museums and the aquarium. I'm glad you had a crazy good time during your travels and meeting everyone you could. Sorry you got a bug while you were there. Hope you're feeling better.

[@PowrDragn]

It was totally worth it. Part it was a raspy voice from talking to soooo many people for soooo long. Totally fun experience, even with that. :)

[@itsjacobj]

Love the vlog! I was there (met you not long before Day 2 noon vlog and talked with you about how the podcast got me through the pandemic), and watching this brought me right back and showed me new cool things I missed. I’d recommend doing these if you have the time for those of us who may not be able to make it especially-get a taste of what it was like. Regardless, thanks for sharing, and thanks for being awesome!

[@PowrDragn]

Glad you enjoyed it. We'll see how folks respond to it. I don't expect it to draw a ton of views, but it was a fun project.

[@JKXYGolden]

aw, good old chicago weather. fun to hear about your experience!

[@PowrDragn]

It was 40-ish degrees most of the weekend. Only got down to 25 and snowed on Friday night. Rest of the weekend, you didn't even need a coat really.

[@olipod5470]

Very cool to see vlogs. Glad you had so much fun! This is a kind of event I want to attend some day in the future

[@PowrDragn]

It was fun. Busy, and tiring, but worth it. 🙂

[@JayTheDragonKing]

Was awesome to meet you man, you were as chill and cool in person as you are in your videos.

[@PowrDragn]

I try to deliver an autentic experience if nothing else. :)

[@PitBoss_ZA]

Nice to see some non deck building content. Nice editing too. Thumbs up.

[@PowrDragn]

For my KZbin members there were daily vlog updates throughout the show weekend. I generally don't do a ton of non-gameplay stuff outside of card/set review stuff because it doesn't really draw views. This is one I just wanted to try something different with and see if it can draw over the longterm. I do have a few other things coming down the pipe though.

[@MBurgland]

This was the first MagicCon that my wife and I tried to go to. Could not get the time off work, unfortunately. It would have been great to meet you, and a few other great KZbinr's we follow. Maybe next time.

[@PowrDragn]

Hopefully you can make a future one. So many personalities were there. It was a packed event.

[@mattpotts995]

Thanks a ton for sharing! This looked rad, but I sadly couldn’t make this Con.

[@PowrDragn]

Maybe you can make a future one. This was just a fun way to show people what went down at this one. There were still several things I didn't get to cover.

[@mattpotts995]

@@PowrDragn Yeah I hope so. I went to Philly last year, which was a blast. But, even after two days at that Con, I couldn’t fit in everything I wanted to do, so I know what that’s like.

[@JonathanPhotography]

Man, would of loved to run into you, but I was waiting in line for multiple hours to meet the artists!

[@obadijahparks]

Honestly, I'd rather meet the artists. Some of them would blow me away to see their original works in person.

[@PowrDragn]

I feel you. There were a ton of people and a ton of lines for many things. Even with...40 artists I think it was...most of them still had lines each day.

[@MrDjLonghair]

Could not make Chicago - but Hopeing to hit Vagas in October. I know we will run into each other again - but Sat after the WOTC party or what ever I was hoping a bunch of us can link up to do some Karaoke close to the convention center. LEt me know if that can be thing and all content creators invited type deal. I Know Anna Margaret is down and trying to recruit more :) Let's Do this!

[@PowrDragn]

I know folks did some karaoke at the House of Blues in Chicago, so people will be up for it. I personally wouldn't stay too long. Maybe long enough to be friendly and social with everyone and then bounce. Convention weekends are long, loud, and I talk to a LOT of people. Gotta conserve my voice sometimes to get through the weekend.

[@obadijahparks]

I have responsibilities that keep me from joining, even though I live right next door in Indiana....

[@PowrDragn]

Nothing wrong with that. Gotta take care of other life stuff first.

[@chriswampler1]

I can smell the BO through the screen. Kidding!

[@PowrDragn]

Actually, it was a nice airy space and there was minimal funk, if any, among the attendees. Lots of families/adults/professionals that cared about that sort of thing.
