First off I wanna let ya'll know I did not go to Chicago and my opinions on this are only speculation via the 6:52:32 Video they uploaded to their channel.
OK so I noticed in the video they have music playing in the background the entire time. Now they invited tons of YouTube channel people to the event even paid for hotels, flights, and tickets to get in. Now given the YouTube community guidelines we are not allowed to upload anything with copyright music in your videos otherwise the music rights owner gets credit for said content. Now, I don't know what music that was being played but I hope it wasn't copyrighted for the sake of said YouTube community members attending said event.
I did how ever attend a local gathering lure up an area and walk around hatching eggs and catching as many pokemon in the window time frames and suffered heat stroke in the end. It got up to 106 where I live and the best place to play was down by the river as the river kinda helped the heat not be so hot. I am not complaining by any means. I am just sharing my experience. I been looking forward to this event since it was announced. main reason being that July 22, 2016 I had L5S1 Fusion surgery on my back shortly after the game was released. I had walked 5k before surgery and currently I have 599.7k walked. I am level 31. You can view mass evolves on my youtube AuntBeeDoesGames if you wanna see me progress as well as you can follow me on Instagram frogluvrks to see my progress on the game as well as you can see me struggling through my fibromyalgia and recovery from my surgery. Of course I also suffer from a few other ailments but we won't get into that here. Anyway this game has given me the want to get up and move/go and keep pushing myself to hatch eggs and be social and just get out there and go.
I appreciate the game so much, I am learning stuff about Pokemon that I never got into until Pokemon go came out because I knew how addicted I could get to collecting them all lol. So I never picked up the card games or anything.
Anyways. Sorry a short rant about the Pokemon go fest and the music they played at the event after inviting the YouTube Community to come and play and record. Please correct me if I am wrong about the music not being copyrighted...
Sincerely,
Rabeka Jo
