Here is a concise summary of the VidCon 2018 recap:
**Day 1:**
* Arrived at VidCon with brother David
* Met with friends (Danebot, Annoying Orange gang, James, Adam, Ryder) for lunch and dinner
* Watched Incredibles 2 with friends
* Danebot surprisingly decided to attend VidCon last-minute
**Day 2:**
* Met fans and animators in the expo hall
* Accidentally didn't recognize friend Tabs
* Got "kicked out" of the expo hall (in a nice way) due to crowd gathering
* Attended a large animation community lunch with many notable animators
* Went to the YouTube party with Danebot, meeting new people (e.g., Markiplier's editor, Matt Patton's Death)
**Day 3:**
* Business meeting and more fan meetups
* Rushed to an oversold animation community meetup, which turned into a massive signing event (~500 people serviced, 1500 turned away)
* Event was unexpectedly huge, with the entire animator group needing a security escort out
* Briefly attended the Studio 71 party before leaving due to exhaustion
