Previous Vlog (Day 4348) | Next Vlog (Day 4350)

Stephen and Mallory just finished shopping at Costco for some food and Coca-Cola Zero for Chaz in preparation for Extra Life 2021. Stephen says that he is excited about the event, but he is also feeling tired. He got enough sleep, but he still feels tired for some reason.

Back at home, Stephen talks about how his office feels so much bigger now that all that lights have been moved downstairs. He says that they usually had to walk around the lights since they took up so much space. Stephen says that today was even busier than he thought it would be. He thought that they would be basically done once they moved all the equipment downstairs, but there was still a lot of stuff to do.

Stephen just finished filming the video that he puts out every year to advertise the Extra Life event. He talks about how a lot of people don't know that Extra Life is happening soon until they see this video. This year, Stephen decided to make the advertisement video as a YouTube Short. He's never made a YouTube Short before, but to his knowledge it has to be shot vertically and has to be uploaded from a phone. Stephen finds it weird that there isn't an option to create a YouTube Short on the PC. He says that he just filmed it by holding the vlog camera sideways. Then, he's going to edit it to be the required dimensions for a YouTube Short and upload it on his phone. Stephen hopes that it turned out alright. He doesn't know because he hasn't edited it yet.

Then, he talks about how they've been straightening and cleaning some stuff up downstairs. Stephen says that Chaz and Jeff will be arriving at the airport tomorrow at 8:00 AM. So, they will have to wake up early to go pick them up. He says that the both of them will probably need some rest once they arrive since they had to wake up really early to arrive at 8:00 AM. Stephen says that Chaz and Jeff won't be staying for long. He says that tomorrow will be the day where they set up everything, Saturday will be Extra Life, and Sunday will be a recovery day. Stephen says that Chaz and Jeff will also be spending Monday here and that they will leave on Tuesday. Stephen says that he is looking forward to seeing both of them.

Stephen then talks about how he will feel much better once he sets up everything and makes sure that everything is working correctly during the test stream. He says that today's vlog will probably be the last vlog released before Extra Life, so he wants to thank everyone in advanced for tuning in. Stephen hopes that they raise a lot for the hospital and the kids. He hopes that everyone has a lot of fun and that they create some fond memories as well. Stephen says that he knows a lot of people take the day off to watch Extra Life and are basically spending the whole day with them, so he hopes the event is worthwhile and that everyone has a great time.
