Why my weekend was insane:
1. It was all made possible by winning my ticket!
On the 25th of June (2013), DamieLou announced a comp on her YouTube channel to win a ticket to VidINC. I filmed, edited and submitted my application (a video of why I was deserving of the ticket) in less than 3 hours. I was so damn happy when I won!
2. I got to go to the Saturday workshop!
This workshop taught things ranging from, how to build up a larger fan base to different kinds of camera techniques. I learnt so much at this workshop. I am so grateful for this experience.
3. VidINC main event!
On Sunday the 18th was the VidINC main event. 1000's of people, who are all into YouTube, getting together and being a part of this huge event. I met so many cool people.
4. VIP seating!
I got my hands on a VIP pass and was able to sit in the VIP seating, front row, of the main stage. Up close to all the big YouTubers who got up and performed.
5. I got to sing with Keenan Cahill!
I approached Keenan and asked him if we could make a Vine video together singing "Roar" by Katy Perry. "I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire.." It was pretty damn cool.
6. I won a GoPro action video camera!
There was a comp on at VidINC, who could make the most creative vine video, and my video, singing with Keenan won! (Thanks Boom!)
7. Grass Karting with Devinsupertramp!
I will upload a short video of this, because this was cray cray... Going down huge hills (unfortunately the footage I have is of the least steep hill), reaching crazy speeds, protected only by clothing and a helmet. I came off the kart, flew off the kart and hit the ground many times. I met some really cool people on the shoot too. It was so much fun.
8. Going clubbing with/ Meeting DamieLou!
I'm so happy I got to do this! This was a crazy night! I had so much fun. Wish we could do this sort of thing every weekend. Damie is such a beautiful person, such a fun person. Bah.. <3
9. Meeting Choppa!
I met Choppa through Damie. He is a very cool person. Very knowledgeable. I really look forward to hanging out with this man in future.
10. Hanging out with Damie and Choppa again!
After Damie and Choppa met Jenna Marbles (yes, they did, yes, I'm jelly), we met up in the city for some hangs before Damie had to go back to Melbourne.
11. Extra hanging out time at the airport!
I didn't want to leave Damie and Choppa in the city, to be honest, I didn't want them or I to leave at all. Damie, Choppa and I went to the airport together and we hung out for another hour at the airport. Good times :) A really nice way to end this long weekend of madness.
Thank you to everyone envolved:

I feel so lucky and so special.
Baiii! xxx
