I was there yesterday. Today, I was searching for vloggercon tags, and found this post. Anyway, it was a really inspiring event, and I can't wait for some of today's sessions. Too bad you couldn't make it, but there's tons of streaming, photos, and feeds on the event, so hopefully you're getting your fill virtually!
