SitC 2013

As I didn't go to Summer in the City, I spent all my weekend feeling sorry for myself and watching the panels, I thought I would make a post about what I've gathered from the internet.

Day 1

YouTube put a giant red bus inside of the venue in the YouTube area, which served smoothies. There was also a siting down area which was in a sandpit.


I heard that a lot of YouTuber's meet and great lines got cut in half because of the mass amount of people there (7,000). Also the que to see crabstickz live was more than 2 hours long, and some people didn't even get in. Apparently there was a lot of pushing and shoving in all 'lines' which all turned into crowds.

Dan (danisnotonfire) wore a space llama t-shirt (I think a fan bought it for him)



While all the YouTuber's ate and chilled out in the 'Relax and Chill out room' (according to Doug)



Dan and Phil went off to eat by themselves, Jack Howard tweeted a picture.


(hehe naughty boys swearing at each other ;))


Jason referred to Patty Walters as his boyfriend.



Patty dedicated a song to Jason on the Open Mic stage.



Tom Law posted an instagram video

Phil had a cold most of the weekend, but still met his fans.

According to someone who was there they saw Phil coughing and Dan kind of patting/rubbing his back and whispering something to him, and Phil just smiled at him *dies of pheelsplosion*

Dan made an instagram of his and Phil's meet up



Christian did a meet up.

Cat did a meet up

The Fantastic Foursome were reunited! (Phil, Dan, PJ and Chris)

Then Cat joined them


There was a 4 hour long live stream panel [full panel]

The first hour of the panel was the Becoming YouTube part featuring:
Hank Green (from VlogBrothers),
Emma Blackery,
Casper Lee,
Benjamin Cook (presenter of Becoming Youtube),
Shawna,
Dan Howell,
Thomas Ridgewell,
Chris Kendall and presented by Luke Cutforth 

The different sections of the panel were (all at correct times):
How much should you reveal about yourself to your audience? - during this Dan 'accidentally' mentions his flatmate and best friend, Phil [link]

Do the 'fan girls' get a worse reputation than they deserve? - during this Emma licks Hank's face [link]

Is the British YouTube community something that should be the envy of the world?

How concerned should we be about the gender gap on YouTube? - at the beginning of this we find out that Emma has/had a stalker.

Q and A from the audience
What made you pick up a camera and start filming?
What's your attitude to fans buying gifts?
What are your thoughts on smaller content creators who are putting in a lot of effort but not getting the views?
What do you think about 'fan' accounts on twitter?
Chris, to what extent do you think your 'Becca' character represents the typical YouTube subscriber?

The stream then moves on to 'How to become a successful YouTuber' a talk with two men from YouTube, giving you tips etc...

Next was Ebony Day playing her set!

Then it was BriBry playing his set!

After that, Chris Kendall (crabstickz) came on to the stage!
Chris comes back on as 'Colin Firth' and teaches you about 'acting'
Chris comes back on and does 'Live Animal Impressions'

Chris Becca Hodgekins comes on stage, talks about her 'life' and does a live reading of fanfiction 'Bummer in the City'

Finally, Mr. Weebl's set came on, ending the first night of SitC 2013!


Day 2!

Dodie and Bethan did a meet and greet together!


Tom and Dodie performed on the main stage together


Tom Law did a meet and greet and performed on the main stage

Jack and Finn had a panel talk, which sadly wasn't recorded.

Chris and PJ had a meetup

When day two had finished Troye and Tyler hadn't finished meeting all of their fans so they went outside of the venue to finish singing and taking photo's with everyone.




There was another 4 hour panel [link] which included:

Charlie McDonnell, Khyan Mansley and Ciaran O'Brien talking about the short film that they made called 'The Tea Chronicles' [Presented by Jack Howard]
