I think it's really weird that the presenters only have 10-15 minutes each?? I really did not like the "audience participation" element. Were it not for SHAUN that section would have truly bummed me out, and we can't expect a SHAUN each time...I want to really see what the presenters have for me! 30 mins! Come on! Who can we petition
I think 10-15 minutes is PLENTY of time per presenter.
Also, maybe we should wait until the event has happened more than once (especially since its gonna be monthly) to make big criticisms. These things generally take a few attempts to really settle into a format.
It's a great event, I am just saying a thing I didn't enjoy about it. I like a presentation to really dig in and feel its oats! Saying something ABOUT all these weird youtube videos, instead of just watching a bunch of weird youtube videos, which is what we all do in our homes all day long.
Regardless, it is a great event and I will go to all of them. Had so much fun at the last one.
Good call on letting things settle before criticizing, I apologize.
If (when) I do this I would present VERY short clips, because that's my particular jam, so there is just no way I could get to 30 min and still entertain.
Depends on the 'tubes!
I am super excited to come to this. Usually I work, but I took the day off to work on PACKING and MOVING BLARGHHH.
I dont think its presented as lectures because they want it to be open to more people than those who feel comfortable do a lecture. Some artists are incredible at finding weird things and tying them together that no one else would do it that way but they might not want to lecture in the traditional way.
I think you have a great idea for a different competing YouTube event maybe.
"Also, people should edit longer clips to just the part that makes their point."
I edited long clips into one megaclip. Unfortunately, I won't be saying much about them. I just want to show a bunch of weird clips. SO SUE ME, YOURSTRULY!
I loved the event! All previous criticisms negated, please disregard great event, everything was great, even the audience participation Gary's made people so sad in such a cool way!! Also Gary taking a shower
MZ was that skateboard thing a series of videogame glitches or was it art made to look like videogame glitching? I was too embarrassed of my lack of knowledge to ask
I don't know if the creator thought he/she was creating "art" when they put it together, but it was definitely an intentional collection of "the funniest glitches".
Severed Arms is so bonkers. WHYYYY? I just went to my playlist and one of the videos has been deleted from YouTube. Not sure which one it was, but that means we all watched something that will never be seen again!
I loved the trajectory of the night! It started with crazy/inexplicable/unseeable melange, moved onto a very focused presentation by Gary, and ended on a thoughtful and emotional slower program by KK.
Felt like I went on a cool journey. It gets me so jazzed to watch all of the Youtubes!
I really wanted to show this. It's been a favorite for five years. I just love this guy's train of thought. "Are you trying to learn chess from a checkers champion? I'm a chess champion!"

I agree... would love a longer lecture.

Wish I could be there! Someone take notes of the good jokes for me, okay?
