you're still videotaping yourself aren't you??
AREN'T YOU??
can you shut that door behind me? Thanks
No not-
hello
(sad song) whoooo can saaaay
WHYYY??
so today is the day before ComiConn and I know on Mondays you're expecting your usual rant video
BUT because we are going away to Europe
in...... as soon as I post this I'm actually gonna be on a flight going to Barcelona
so this is the start of my vacation series
right now it's like a mini vacation leading into the whole (deep inhale)....
Europe (trip)
amazing, spectacular, awe-inspiring
that's just gonna be a crazy trip like I've been looking forward to this for the longest time
Anyway right now is the mini vacation leading into it right now we're in Connecticut
in Foxwoods which is also where I filmed my announcement of my merch
so if it looks kind of familiar this bathroom it's because we've been here before together
I woke up this morning I was over my friend's house because she had a party
then I drove to my house and immediately as soon as I got home went n on the ferry
(this is a song I MADE! Link to my SoundCloud below)
and then we went to Party City just to pick up a few things for our cosplay
and now we are here and it is the day before ComiConn and we are finishing up our last-minute preparations
Kelly and I are working on our cosplays kind of like half in our pajamas
so we got this wig
it's for Sadie.. it looks so much blonder in the packaging
we gotta get like yellow hairspray
my wig for Peridot here ready flip this around
And it was seen in the "Greek Gods You Didn't Know About" so obviously it changed a lot since then
I'm trying to figure out what to do with this back part because it looks kind of ridiculous but the front I shaped with a lot of hair gel
and then we're gonna feast
we've arrived at flavortown
(another song by me!! SoundCloud below!)
I was so full after Guy Fieri's but then
I made a small purchase
(angel choir)
I really don't know what to expect because obviously this is a lot smaller than the New York one
which was very chaotic and I was not ready for all of that
we shall see what this one will have in store for us
this is the nerdiest thing I've ever done in my life and I'm really embracing it
okay so the first thing I have to do with my Peridot look is I don't have the glasses
so I have to kind of draw them on
oh my god
my mom and my sister I'm fighting about Kelly's cosplay in the other room
BAM
so that's one side and then I'm gonna fill it in with the white
I think that looks great
I have to walk around a hotel like this
honestly I'm a pretty fearless person this scares me a little bit
(singing for whatever reason) always trying to push myself out of that comfort zone
ooo this like clown makeup. I love this. this works perfectly!
(sped up singing) for what I'm tryin to do! ooooahhh
people who don't cosplay are look at me in fear, people who do cosplay are looking at me in fear
Athena P. zero subs.
I think that looks pretty good
I have met another challenge- this is huge
that actually looks really good
Kelly!! what do you think? Steven Universe expert!
Come in, consult me
-It looks good to me looks good to you? alright!
let's turn my entire body green
Does this not look green to you??
okay wait we'll see we'll see
-Let me see
-Let me see
Why is this not green?? do you see the guy that's on the packaging, right?
-where's the..?
new title for this video is Party City rips me off with false advertising
look at the guy in the packaging I'm so SHOOK
that's just like a full-on scam
-What do you mean it doesn't work? What does it do?
It's like white cream -WHAT??!! -You gotta blend it
so we had to mix it with your makeup to make any kind of thing
-They scammed us AGAIN instead of the wig it was this thing
(slowed down) It looks so much blonder in the packaging
what if like the green just comes up later -I know
Like I just start glowing I'm like WHAT THE HELL?? -Right? That's what I'm saying!
Update I tried coloring myself in with a crayon
I'm not sure it's working I don't think it is
(Ben's music! Check out his SoundCloud!! LINK BELOW!)
-alright Ok!
-That's good you know what we make do
let's start from the beginning
as soon as we got in we received our VIP drawstring bag,
our bags which was holographic, we got two posters- two different posters
and then later on we actually also received a free comic book for being VIP
We walked in and there was so much
Guys!! We are in the UPSIDE DOWN!
-hey what's this ax for?
Kelly!!! Get closer!
Turn around -Woah!
My wig! It's snatching my wig!!
we just got back from comiconn I got a shirt
so what drew our attention to this specific convention is that Kate Flannery is gonna be there
she's in The Office, she's in Steven Universe as Barb- Sadie's mom
and she's in OK KO as Carol
so we ended up going to her meet-and-greet
we got Kelly's book signed her very first page of her animated characters, cartoonists little book that she put together
and Kate loved that so much
I asked Kate if she had any advice for studying actors like me
and basically I wish I could remember word for word exactly how she put it because the way she said just...
I loved it so much it was just so inspiring
She said everything you don't get leads you to where you need to be
if I got that then I wouldn't have gotten this and then I wouldn't be where I am now
so everything that happens to you whether in the moment you think it's good or bad it leads you to where you need to be
and I love that because I- I do get caught up on failure
I do get caught up on "oh why I wasn't a cast in that" or blah blah blah
it just motivates you to work hard and not be discouraged too easily
and then talk to about her casting in Steven Universe and I wanted to know what that process was like
cause usually Rebecca I know she contacts people separately
and I asked if Rebecca knew her from The Office and she actually said "oh I don't know I'm seeing Rebecca soon I should ask her about that"
and that was super cool because it's like "whoa!!"
honestly overall much better than actual New York comic-con
because I actually got to walk around and I didn't feel anxious and there wasn't that that many people
but enough to where people were pointing at us and being like "Ahhh Peridot!!"
and people were stopping by to take pictures of me and Kelly
all dressed up as our characters which was like super cool
because I didn't think that this was gonna translate but it did so that's really fun
honestly I would do small conventions like this again in a heartbeat
and there's one that's coming up in Rhode Island in November so I might do that
let me know who I should cosplay as oooo if you have any ideas let me know
this was just sooo much fun I had a really great time and I hope you enjoyed
See ya in Europe! Bye!
My wig was SNATCHED!!!
