Looks like so much fun!

Katie

I love seeing convention shenanigans. I haven’t been able to go to one in a long time. They’re such wholesome spaces

Kelsey E Ingram

Loved watching this and trying to pinpoint where you were in my city. Soooooo bummed I couldn't do the meetup. But it looks like a good time!

Jennifer

I love this editing vibe!!!

Phoebe Zaiya

I'm glad you both had a lovely time. I too went to see the theatrical masterpiece that I hadn't seen in theaters (I was 4 when the movie came out 😂). Chicago winds are no joke 😅

Holly Neal

Wearing contacts there must be brutal!

Danielle Bergmann

This was so adorable and loved so fun. Trips like this where you get to be goofy with your gal pals always make for good life memories 💙 And Chicago is the greatest!

Ginger Spice

I was like 3 seconds away from grabbing tickets for C2E2 and now I'm completely bummed I passed on it. Dangit!

Anna O.

That French bakery looked a lot like the one near my sister's place that I went to last time I visited her in Chicago (which had very delicious pastries), but I think it was a different one. Pretty sure Chicago has multiple French bakeries.

Andie C

I was in Chicago the week before and I was so bummed that I couldn't stay to meet you at the con.

Nurse Millie

I was so sad I had to miss you guys, but tix to the con were sold out when I checked 😪. I hope I can catch you, next year!

Morgan Milton

Love seeing how much fun you and Sarah had at the con! Really hope you get go again next year. So, very funny story about my C2E2 experience. I never have time to go to non-work cons, but every few years a science conference I attend overlapped with C2E2. One day in the common space between the two conferences, a guy in full Pokemon cosplay came up to me and asked what conference I was attending. When I told him it was for biochemistry research science, he laughed out loud saying "Dude! You all are the real nerds!" Next year the two conferences will overlap again. Fingers cross our paths will cross!

Janessa Penner

My husband and his friend had the exact same experience with Lou Malnati’s Pizza. They were so confused because they couldn’t find Illuminati Pizza anywhere, but everyone seemed to know about it when they asked for directions. They figured it out once they got there.

Tabitha Burch

Yay, I am glad you had a great time and C2E2!! I even made a cameo in your vlog!!! It was amazing meeting you.

Edith

Ahhhh I need to get myself to a con again soon, I miss the vibes

Bizbot

How I know I'm old and out of touch I recognise barely any of the cosplays anymore 😅

Victoria Fair

That looked like such a great time! Any tips for traveling to a con and picking/packing cosplay? Colorado cons are also very much one day and done (if that) so I'd love to go to something bigger!

Hailey Voytal

Fun!!! Bets part about these blogs is you can show the shows and sing/play the songs and do all the copy-write no-nos😆

Carol B

It looks like you guys had a blast! The con looked enormous, so much bigger than Boston cons, holy cow!

Tova Svensson

your vlogs are so fun and cozy, I love watching them!

sharon steward

So many fantastic costumes, looked like a great time. X

Kachitko

That looks awesome. And so many Discworld stuff 🧡

Maggie Stewart

If you ever feel like the trip, FanX in Salt Lake City is pretty dang cool and I would absolutely crap my pants to see you!

Erin Moore

Lou’s is good, but my fav is Nancy’s. So many good food spots that don’t involve pizza. Hope you get an opportunity to come back to the Chi 🍕🌬️

Jenna Weaver

That looked like so much fun!!

Thea Maia

This was the vlog I’ve been wanting to!!! Thanks!!!

Borbfan28

That looks so fun! I’m glad you had a good time.

Jenn M. Thompson

We were standing in front of you in line- was dressed as league of their own player. Phenomenal cosplays!

Britta Voight

(From the chitty chitty bang bang cosplayers) It was so great meeting you! We’re glad you really liked c2e2 and hope to see you there again!

K. Lynn Smith

So good seeing you again! Glad you had fun! And hope you enjoy The House of Lowther! ;)

Stephanie Junca

Next time you're in Chicago, go to Kuma's for a big, fat, tasty burger! Will not disappoint!

Brooke Colley

I remember seeing the Mummy opening night at my local theatre (conveniently at the end of my street.)

Brooke Colley

I know that other Padme!!! That’s Naboo Senator on IG!!

Hawk Worley

Neat, my Red Amidala Dress made the cut!

Meg W.

Yay C2E2!!!! I’m glad yall had fun!!!! That poutine looked ah-maaaaaazingggg! (And that’s coming from a girlie with a Canadian husband, so I know what’s what! lol!)

Martina

I was 17 and a junior - or rather, the Swedish high school equivalent of a junior - I remember going to see it with my middle school bestie to catch up since we didn't go to the same high school.

Meg W.

Hahaha. I was in…2nd grade? My classmate got in trouble for talking about it and bringing a “gross” Imothep (before he got all his jars back) action figure to school…..🤣

Catherine Ford

Love a good travel vlog!! Chicago looks so fun, this video made me want to go on more girls trips with my BFF ❤️❤️ Nadja cosplay is on point 🦇

Kristen McD

Rachel in the wind tunnel is the Fucking Wimdy Fox

Rachel Paige

*points excitedly at Eleven City Diner and the Columbia College film building aka where I spent most of college* So glad you made it to a Chicago con! It was a delight to meet you!

Kat Waterflame

I am so happy that you enjoyed C2E2, because that means you might come back again, since I couldn't go this year but might be able to go in the future.

Martina

I actually saw The Mummy in the theatre 25 years ago - would very much like to see it on the big screen again! (I realize this makes me incredibly old. I was in high school at the time...)

Clu Bear

Love a good old fashioned vlog! All of your cosplays were *chefs kiss*! Went to see the rerelease of The Mummy and it was amazing! My friend and I were the only people in the theatre so we got to yell all of our favorite quotes. So good!

BrainGuy63

Woohoo! Looks like a delightful time!

Maggie

So nice to meet you! Come back to the Midwest anytime ♥️

Whimsy & Artifice

Such a great vlog, and an incredible con weekend! I missed the meetup, but my friend sunchildcosplay (dressed as Yor from Spy x Family) ran up to you at the end of Sunday and showed you my Amalthea cosplay. I just want to say thank you again for your videos keeping me company during that build and helping me feel less insane while I attempted to create my first full costume solo build in over a decade!!! I'm glad you enjoyed C2E2 (my home con) and I hope you'll come back again!

Chloe Horning

I'd love to see a full video on how you did the Nadja cosplay and makeup! I have a fantasy about making a Nadja costume for myself and a "mini Nadja" one for my childhood American Girl doll :D

Melissa

Love the travel vlogs! Were those Beatles from the Yellow Submarine??

Caitlin S.

Yay! I made the video, with my little guy! (Whose name is Fernando, btw!) I'm so glad you had fun at C2E2, it's my favorite! If you go again, I would recommend staying at either they Hyatt or the Marriott as it's SUPER nice to be able to take a break in the middle of the day and you don't have to carry EVERYTHING all day, plus there is night time shenanigans if that's your sort of thing! Thanks for sharing your trip! :)
