789 The Gathering

Tomorrow is 789 the YouTube gathering...though the ‘main gathering’ isn’t until the 11th. (I supposed 7/11 would’ve confused some people, but would’ve been great business for all the franchised convenience stores to be filled with vlogging tubers. 

I’ve never been to a gathering before. I have 142 subscribers, and I don’t think any of them are coming to see me. I’ve going for the adventure in my backyard. I’m a New Yorker. No, not the kind that actually knows the train schedule, what clubs or bars are the most popular, or really how to get around at all without assistance of some kind. I’m a Long Islander, that is I’m from the island.

I’ve traveled into the city for fun and for winter events. There’s nothing like seeing the Christmas Tree lit up, snow falling, feet hurting, sipping on a $10 cup of coco, watching yet another couple get engaged on the ice while onlookers clap.

It’s raining now, but come the afternoon that may be a different story. 

I’ve packed everything in my Camelbak, it’s a backpack with a water pouch I’m sure I’ll fill with Monster or Red Bull. 

I’m not sure what to expect aside from at least starting off in Central Park.

I’m going to hate carrying everything around, but I like to be prepared for everything.

For the first time in a long time I can’t decide what to wear, and I normally don’t put a lot of thought into what I wear. I mean I’m a jeans and T-shirt kinda gal, but I know how and when to dress up. I just prefer casual/comfortable.

It almost feels like I’m going on an interview. I’ll hardly know anyone there, there’s the potential for almost anything to happen, and I’m over preparing out of ‘nervous’ habit.

As of now I’m planning on going to the event on the 11th as well, so I’m treating tomorrow as my practice. I’ll get the feel for what’s really going on, what I’m used and what I’m not so I won’t have too much with me.

I don’t have to be in till 1pm to meet a fellow tuber, but it’s 2am and my ‘packing’ has really only consisted of making sure I labeled the tapes and charged the batteries...SO...ends my first blog.

-Cheers!
