to the terminal market which we took some footage of i don't want to say reading or reading it's either reading or reading i think it's writing as we did that then we went to uniqlo i wanted to see what disney clothes they had but they didn't have much it was just a little one so that was jamie had major uniqlo disappointment i had gloves in my hand i should have bought them but i didn't anyways and then i told her to buy them jeff did it's freaking cool guess who regretted not buying them this one then we went to barnes and noble to look at their board games and they had um actually a pretty decent selection it was actually pretty impressive we ended up buying land versus c which i would show you but it's already living in the suitcase yeah we're trying i'm trying to like keep everything packed we're trying to prepare it's also one of those things like i want to play it but i also don't take it out of shrink for the inevitable travel yeah because like a little added i don't want them by them i mean the airport people to like rip through it yeah like open it and if it's like sealed shut hopefully they won't i mean who knows what they'll do but anyways we did that then we went through love park uh and they have a christmas village we got some hot apple cider mine had an extreme amount of whipped cream on it she ordered it that way i did i did not ask for extreme whipped cream again regretted it it was too much sugar but it was good and then we just came back to the hotel and now we're chilling i had to do some work today and now we're going to play dnd tonight yeah very low key day today probably another low key day tomorrow we're pretty low-key peeps you know we like to go tomorrow we might play some game yeah i might play some games maybe some of the games we

get to vlog it was mainly just kind of all of the extra activities and then daily recaps of how tired we were we realized that we're not the best at vlogging we gotta get better at it but hey you gotta start somewhere i might sneeze ugh jeff is uh sick from pax it's not covid we've tested ourselves every day since the saturday it's the worst cold i've ever had ever being a real baby about it how sick have i been i don't know i went to bed at 7 30 last night just our entire experience in general we had a great time in philadelphia yes i have come to realize that i actually like love philadelphia i had an incredible experience i don't know if it's a product of like we just haven't traveled um it was two years and it was a beautiful city so we went a little bit early which means as you guys would have seen in the vlog we got to spend some time with jazz and his family from the lobby hobbies and billy and michelle from second star to the left so that's like how we kicked off our week which which was just like the best yes thank you to both of them for introducing us to their family jim uh delilah lila yeah two different families there but um pleasure to meet all of you we had a blessing it was probably like some of my favorite times our family grew yes yes then we got to meet tyler and elia from cabrera also go and check them out but they came a day early as well and so we got to play goodness thank goodness we got to play some games with them in the hotel in their room before we went to this crazy event and before that we got to or after that now i can't remember but we got to explore a little bit of philadelphia with them and jazz and isaac boarding with sidekicks boarding with sidekicks i think apologies isaac if i got that wrong we went to the liberty bell and independence hall and we learned all about the scene and the set of national treasure everywhere that we were is where nicholas cage was too we saw all the things from the movie it was amazing it was the most realistic movie set i've ever seen yep we're canadian we don't know anything about american history so that's not true it's not true but we were when we were in independence hall just like those are the spectacles from the movie national treasure you have a hair on your face so we got to do that and that was a lot of fun we had some amazing food the food the food in philly in philadelphia is amazing was amazing it's probably some of the best food i've ever had like by far before we left jamie was like oh we have to leave and there's none of this good food around us and now we're going to go with toasty toast and craft dinner bummer i do want to say a very special thank you to ilya and tyler yeah we love them love you both so much they made our convention experience that much better we spent a ton of time together we were in familiar territory with him you know for canadians convention canadians in the big world and i just truly truly appreciate both of them for everything being them yeah just for being them we've said it i think already but if you haven't checked out calvary please do they're amazing yeah pretty much everyone that we mentioned you should go check out the night before the con we went to an event it was kind of like a content creator publisher type of meetup that was hosted by steve bonacor stephen bonacore there was a ton of people there it was uh overwhelming loud scary we come from a province where everybody's just kind of kept to themselves during coven we haven't really been out in a big crowd like that so it's a little bit overwhelming i was concerned that when we went to that event we would do the typical jeff and jamie thing i found a great spot on which is to find a corner and talk to ourselves and hide and that's what we did because we get anxious and nervous and those are situations we're not oh going in that regard we don't go up to people really that is not the way that to say hi to people and it was an interesting social experiment for us and it did not intimidating yeah we were overwhelmed i think we did get to meet people so that was the night that we got to meet paula and matthew so paula deming matthew jude monique and naveen from before you play we got to meet them there we got to meet professor meg there for the first time tyler i won't tell the isaac childress story we'll keep that in between yeah the four of us but we met we met isaac childress we didn't know we did what we did so i mean it was overwhelming but it was and it wasn't it was good to go i just want to mention too anyone that might have been there that saw us and we didn't say hi to and they were maybe like why aren't they saying hi like that's why yeah we were scared we were terrified it was just very and it wouldn't change if we went again tomorrow it would be the exact same yeah that's just that's not the type of situation or setting that i we're not social creatures no like the my best case scenario is kind of like what we did with tyler and ilya and jazz and then when we were walking around the city exploring together in a smaller more intimate setting i guess so that was that night then after that event jeff and i went to go get burgers uh which was also a crazy experience we're not gonna bore you with but then we went back to the hotel to play some games we played super mega lucky box and fuji flash fujiflush is a like an amazing if you regularly are able to play games at like a five plus player count yeah you need to get fujiflush it's o to print but yeah i think it's still accessible good luck but anyway then we played green team always wins green team wins which is a new game we just had a prototype copy and that was a super fun party game so i don't know i don't think we played anything else jeff and i were wiped like we were done so we went to bed and then the next day was the first day of the con which was exciting yeah we ran into overwhelming max and max always amazing to run into them again so we spent most of the time with them once once they arrived yep all three days of the con just kind of like bubble together we got to meet some publishers we got to go to a couple of events charity board gamer had a content creator meetup there was a habit event that we went to there was just a lot of free play yep we visited the library yep we got to play six nympt with monique and naveen yeah and luna from aspiegamergirl and jazz jazz and tyler and elian and we got to meet mick and starla we got to meet megan starla from our family plays games mick made fun of the hat which was great yep always good such an honor to meet them got to play games with the gentleman of board game barrage we did which was so thank you so so much particularly to nelon who i was interacting with non-stop during the con trying to meet up with and they're super busy obviously and eventually we were able to connect we sat down with neil in kellen and mark and played trendy so we chatted with them for half an hour they're super nice guys yeah and i can't wait till we're all in the same room we can do that again but thank you again to the four game barrage christina unfortunately was still asleep living the dream yeah that was super awesome we also had a little discord meetup with a bunch of people from the discord we got to play just one with them and we met some really awesome people i didn't get to play just one no jeff went on a coffee ride i was shipped off to get dunkin donuts for everyone which was on the other end of the convention hall it was a 40 minute round trip for me to go still complaining about this so yeah you guys got to play just we had to play but you literally said no i'll sit out at the very beginning i got to meet bryce and sarah and kevin and kevin's partner i'm sorry kevin's partner i forget what's your name alf in the discord but his antonio i think is your name jenna was there obviously max emily danielle were there and billy and michelle and jack we got to meet candace candice she wasn't there for the discord couple notable modes notable moments from that we got to have lunch with bryce and professor meg yep which was awesome we had lunch with them and we get to have a bit of a one-on-one moment with candace at the end of the con yes and and chatted with her for a bit so thank you candace for you know opening yourself up a bit too you met steven briefly stephen walked by remember remember stephen he was like hey you're faster than me both this is great do you remember that we were sitting we were like waiting for our cge meeting and i was eating my little pancake oh yes steven yes duh yeah everything is like a blur a whirlwind experience yeah that was awesome we ended off our trip with playing more games with tyler and elia we got to play some savannah park which is super fun we played this crazy pancake game flapjack flip off or something it was amazing and the key we played a ton of games we will mention all of them in our wrap-up video because mainly right now i can't remember what we did the shining moment of the convention though if we're not including you know the amazing people we've met if we're going to say a channel specific thing that meant a lot to us familiar tales ah i think it's worth mentioning that again it was our very last day we left early we had left we had already left the con we were not we were not going back we were tired we were laying in bed and i get an email from nikki at plaid hat games i guess we got an email yeah and it basically just said hey do you want our coffee copy of familiar tales of familiar tales and we were like yeah yes familiar tales is a game that i demoed on the first day and it was immediately as soon as i saw it i was like this is my new favorite game and i can't even tell you how excited i was when we got that email and then we went at the end and jerry who is the designer of the game packed it all up for us and then handed it to us and said some really kind words and it was just like this magical moment that i literally was like holding the game and i'm like hold yourself together man because like i was just overwhelmed i was so excited and while we were waiting we got to quickly play ash's reborn which was really great we met and jonathan we got to say goodbye to jonathan from dice throne and he was amazing and we just met so many cool and tom from cosmos tom from cosmos and nathan from cge and it was nice to met so many amazing people it was nice to be able to talk to some people about what we're doing and then to have them come back to us and say we love what you're doing right that just meant a lot i think we spent way too much money we had way too much fun and then we had to come home which was sucky and now jeff is sick and i don't know if i ever not to go back to pax i know it was it was a great experience i think pax now becomes a yearly thing for us i agree i don't know if we'll do it the same way i don't know if we'll do the full week but definitely going a day at least a day or two early i think it's totally because we have the ability to work from there as well so we could go a couple days early just work and go to the con on the weekend so sure so that in a nutshell was our pax unplugged in philadelphia experience we hope that you enjoyed the vlog hopefully we will get better at vlogging the next time i don't do it probably not you never know anyways thank you guys so much for watching if you like what you see please subscribe if you want to buy board games check your
