Today's vlog (and all the DragonCon material he does) leaves me a bit speechless. I understand the appeal of Cons, and some stuff is interesting to me, the nerd part of me can get it. Adam however manages to make pretty much anything boring. He mostly just walks around all day and nothing ever really happens - oh the vendor room has a big line, oh here's a giant Star Wars character photo shoot, he attends some panel with all the same people he saw from yesterday's panel, and then they go out to eat. Making it worse is, of course, his camera. Most of this stuff is inside, and of course the dinner he attends with his "friends" is in a dark restaurant, and the camera just never focuses completely and everything is dark and blurry. If something miraculously does come in to focus, as soon as the camera or the object move, it's instantly out of focus a lot of the time.
BUT, there was one part of the video that was particularly odd and pointless, the annual elevator trip to the top of the hotel. You would think these guys were going to the top of the Shanghai tower or something the way they freak out about the height - it's just a hotel in Atlanta! And when they get to the top there is a bit of a view and Adam decides to point out something in particular. Yes, Adam gives special attention to one thing you can see from the top of the hotel: Stone Mountain.
For those of you unfamiliar with Stone Mountain, it's a memorial to the Confederacy. It features what I like to call the Racist Mt. Rushmore with the faces of General Lee, Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson, all Confederate "heroes". The address is in fact 1000 Robert E. Lee Blvd. I find it very interesting that Adam would bother to point that out, very interesting.
