    While I am a huge creature of habit and devolved many “traditions” on places I go and things I do each year I’m really feel like it’s gotten to locked in and need to break it up a bit. After the rest of this year I’d like to change course on a few other things as well into 2024.

    So sad you may not come back again for a while! My husband and I found your vlogs after DragonCon last year and we saw you in passing in the Hyatt but didn't want to bother you. It was pretty cool for us to be "in" the vlog though - we were at the Star Wars photoshoot! Hope you go on lots of cool adventures in the meantime and maybe we'll get to say hi to you in person at a future DragonCon :)

    I like people who like nostalgia. It means they have a good heart. When you remember things that made you happy, it is likely that you are happy. Or at least have an overall positive/ hill attitude. In this case, Adam’s mind loves the creative side of things. Love it.

      Just seeing that it’s three hours to get into a vendor room. Unless they expand, it’s not worth it. If you have to spend your entire time waiting in lines, it’s an absolute waste. I didn’t see Adan in any panels this year. Why pay a premium price to just wait in lines to spend more money?

    I did a table selfie with Christopher Lloyd at Awesome Con 2021. His line went until after the con ended. So by the time people got up there to take their pictures with him, he looked grumpy. They were rushing people through. I could barely say one sentence to him. I at least got out " You were my childhood" and he said "Thank you" and that was it. Michael J. Fox was at the con, too. People were bringing stacks and stacks of hover boards to get signed. It was insane.

    • @RTBird2
      @RTBird2 Год назад +2

      Definitely encouraging Adam to change up his pace, if he so desires. But to what? Tim Tracker and Paging Mr Morrow have stated the RUclips content was secondary to their main jobs. I don't think I've ever heard Adam mention any other kind of work then making RUclips content for decades. Hopefully he wouldn't limit himself by working for a company like TheDis or someone else's website like Disney Foodblog.

    • @CC-kg8ce
      @CC-kg8ce Год назад +3

      Good questions for sure. As far as Tim Tracker I highly doubt he’s working another job currently with the amount of content he produces and the pretty penny he makes doing it. Otherwise his other “job” would be incredibly lucrative to make more than this and still having enough free time for his channel. As far as Adam he’s made it pretty clear I believe that at age 50 he does not want to continue on this exact path. I still think his content will be his one and only vocation albeit with less taxing creative ventures. Just my thoughts of course obviously anything is possible.
