I'm pulling out of the parking lot. We all know what that means. It's that I'm rather drive to work.

I dropped my son off at camp. Okay. So recently, my eldest daughter, Rachel, and I went to VidCon.

So for those that are regular blog listeners, or a podcast listener, sorry, you will know that I've done this twice before and I made two podcasts.

So every year, for the last three years we've gone.

This year it was no different.

So I'm going to talk all about going to VidCon and what I learned at VidCon.

So the big difference this year from previous years, well, first off, for those that don't

know what VidCon is, I think the

vid stands for video. It's all about sort of the YouTube videos and such. My daughter's

always been really fascinated with that, and she is going to go to school to study communications.

So anyway, this year, for the first time, there's three different levels that you

can be and each level has its own programming that goes with it.

So you can be a community member.

You could be a creator or you can be industry.

The past two years, we had been community.

But this year we updated to creator, which cost a little more and also just opened us up

to a bunch of other panels and things that we didn't have access to before.

And as someone who is a creator, it was interesting.

A lot of talks were quite interesting.

So I'm going to talk through sort of all the stuff we did and then some of my takeaways

and how maybe some of

the things I learned at VidCon might actually affect my design of magic.
