I arrived at the Pasadena Convention Center in Los Angeles at 8am.
The folks who had bought VIP tickets had been waiting for hours already.
Everyone got a purple wristband.
Parents had to accompany their underage children.
Most of the ticket holders were teenage girls between 12 and 15-years-old.
These two girls met on Twitter because they both followed the @InTOUR account.
They decided to come to the event together. (Not pictured: both of their moms!)
It was going to be a jam-packed day full of performances and skits from famous YouTube stars (who most adults have never heard of.)
And bean bag chairs set up for tired parents (the VIP line is waiting patiently behind the glass windows.)
Finally it was time for the meet-and-greet.
Everyone got a meet-and-greet card to meet a famous YouTuber.
People got autographs. On the right is Sam Tsui, and singer/songwriter who does covers and original songs on YouTube. He has millions of followers.
There were signs! (These were really cool.)
Even the parents had signs.
Okay, the signs were technically his daughter's. But what a good dad!
There were lots. Of. Selfies. (On the right is Lohanthony, with 2.7 million Twitter followers and millions more on YouTube.)
Lots of selfies. On the left is Charity Vance, singer/songwriter, with millions of views on all of her videos.
The moms were tasked with taking lots of photos.
Sam Tsui and a fan after he performed on stage.
Stars poured water over other stars' heads.
The crowd of crazy girls was so loud you couldn't hear your own thoughts.
This is JC Caylen. He has 1.7 million YouTube subscribers. He impressed a SCREAMING crowd of teens with a back flip.
Stars played musical chairs.
Actually, it was called "INTENSE MUSICAL CHAIRS."
The crowd was dying for a chance to touch the YouTube stars. The adults mostly just looked confused.
We don't know what's going on here.
Or here! (This was a other gender clothes swap. On the left is Ricky Dillon and on the right is JennXPenn aka Jenn McAllister.)
JC Caylen hopped down into the crowd. It was deafening.
During breaks, the stars all hung out in the press room. They're all friends in real life! Many of them met via YouTube.
The after party was sponsored by Taco Bell.
The DJ was "really good and played good songs," teens told Business Insider.
There was lots of time for fans and stars to mingle and take selfies.
This lucky fan was even allowed to plant a kiss on her favorite internet celebrity.
Our eardrums would tell you a different story.
