Crazy as it may sound, Youtube actually has more to it then just the videos--well, at least for me it does. After I became scarily obsessed with youtubers such as MissAlissa15, Diabetikdillon and Adorian Deck, I looked for ways that I could actually meet them. Turns out, it isn't as hard as tracking down as a celebrity. You see, Youtube has these magical things called Youtube Gatherings. What is a gathering you might ask? Well lucky for you, because if you couldn't tell by the title, this entry is about gatherings!
A Youtube gathering is a big, or sometimes small event, hosted by one or more youtubers; youtubers and their fans get together and just hang out. If it's a small gathering hosted by one youtuber, it will most likely be posted on their twitter page and will be pretty short notice. It won't be anything big, just a few hours walking around or going somewhere like a mall or the park. However, if it is a big gathering, it will be hosted by a few 'tubers. most likely have a collab video made about it, and will be planned pretty far in advance.
One of the main gatherings that is hosted every year by Adorian Deck and MissAlissa15 is the North West Youtube Gathering (NWYTGT), a two day event, in Portland, Oregon. Youtubers and fans from all over to meet and hang out with their freinds and fans, such as Codysshort, Wannabealoserr, Jeyyounit11, etc. Everybody stays in the same hotel, walks around Portland, and just gets to know each other.
The most well known "gathering" so to speak, is "Vidcon". Vidcon is a much larger event in California, where youtube stars such as Shane Dawson and iJustine can be seen. Since so many people go to this event, it is not as much of a gathering, because you do not get to meet all of the youtubers, as well as the fact that it is much more expensive, and consists of daily schedules such as lectures and workshops.
