So, when are we going to see a travel thrifting series? Where you travel around the US checking out cities and random cool thrift shops?! This should be a thing!
@@LGRBlerbs Well if it happens I'll be the first to watch. I think it would be a great idea! Hop on up here to Minnesota/South Dakota and check out some of the Indian tribe thrift shops along your way. Definitely a great experience.
One of the best vlogs I've watched in a while. Really felt like I was there, right with you. Hats down, nicely edited and executed! Thank you so much for bringing us along.
@@LGRBlerbs Yeah agree.. awesome Vlog Clint ☺... thanks for the touristic ride I really enjoy it👌............... and at 15:26.. damn!! .. that Railroad desperately needs some Thermite Welding »» th-cam.com/video/rNjosF789X4/w-d-xo.html 😟
I’m glad it’s appreciated! Very much inspired by those “asmr city walkabout” videos that show up in my feed, I find the ambiance and minimal commentary relaxing
@@LGRBlerbsand you've translated that perfectly to your vlog. I've seriously considered posting it to the "unintentionalASMR" subreddit but for that it has one too many "loud" moments like during the cubs game or at some points during the convention. But the video still beamed me into some good sleep when I put it on lying in bed yesterday. Finished watching it today and now I feel relaxed as hell. Definitely adding this to my favourites.
@@LGRBlerbs I see! You did an amazing job replicating it in that case. I also love the touches of silliness within the video too. Some of the abrupt, mid-sentence cuts and the repeat visuals were very amusing.
Your trip to E3 with your brother was one of my all time favorite LGR videos, and this is now alongside it. Thanks for the behind the scenes and the nitty gritty of things. I hope this certainly is not the last of these types of videos!
@@LGRBlerbs nice, looks like you live in a beautiful area, at least compared to where I live. Which is a few blocks from the old Computer Reset, so... nearly dystopian.
I don't usually comment but this is one of your best videos ever Insanely high quality footage of Chicago, superb editing, very well documented....PLEASE DO MORE LIKE THIS...
I really hope you will create a video like this more often. This is my favorite TH-cam video of the year, easily. The road trip, the scenes of Chicago, the festival, the interaction with brother Luke, the editing, the nature, the beginning and the end of it all - “I think it all works together very well”.
You're welcome. There are Belgiums in Wisconsin, West Virginia, New York and Illinois. No Belgiums in Asia though, they're not that tacky.@@Throckmorton.Scribblemonger
I've never known anyone to be able to make a busy, hustling bustling city appear so calm and welcoming; and Chicago nonetheless! From your fantastic shots, smooth commentary, and unhurried observations, it makes me more excited for my visa to process and for me to escape England and live in the US all the sooner. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. I hope you appreciate how blessed you are not just in your own life, but what you also impart onto others. Thank you. I hope I can meet you one day.
I hope you're nearly fully recovered from the experience. For 2024, let's hope for hyper-realistic virtual expos of vintage computing gear, where we'll all stay certified virus-free :D @LRGBlerbs
I came over here because of that brief glimpse in the video about you guys going to a Cubs game, and I was not disappointed. Love watching Hendricks pitch.
Enjoy those special times with your brother. I lost my younger brother in June and its the toughest thing ever. Not trying to bring the mood down but seeing you and your brother reminded me of the good times I spent with mine.
The first five minutes made me so homesick. Gotta get back home soon. Thanks for the super long vlog! I've never seen Chicago before really. The architecture was awe inspiring. The contrast between the brutalism, modern and gilded was so visually stunning.
I’ve only been to the airport. I never knew there were big cities that could rival New York. And it just goes on and on. The biggest city near me is concentrated in a small area. But downtown Chicago is like the whole city.
That was some great footage of the city and the Bears and the Deer were great at the end. Glad to see you are doing much better. Take care and thanks for sharing.
So chuffed to see the Bear-A-Byte getting the love! I see you also figured out that it oh-so-nicely can be transported in your car by belting it in like a kid!
@@DaleWillyLiterally most of Europe uses a comma, not a full stop. People on the internet don't have to follow the US of States's rules, get used to it.
Absolutely made my city look stunning. It’s also surreal to me that LRG walked by my place of work and went into my neighborhood only a few blocks from where I live.
I honestly think this is your best work, sure it's a lengthy video but it needed to be. Hope you do more of this in the future. The Chicago skyline at night was breathtaking, felt like I was there lol. Great Job Clint?
It's fascinating to see the city I work in through someone else. You have a good eye for aesthetics; noticed some stuff I'd never seen before, even though I've been working downtown for decades. Thank you for taking the time to shoot and edit this, it must have taken forever.
@@costanzathemage Having lived in California I can understand if you compare SF to Chicago why you'd say that. I think only Portland, SF, Detroit, NYC and a few cities in Seattle are dirtier, more crime riddle cesspools than Chicago. But to each their own I suppose. I have to say this, I've never seen Chicago so dead, clean and free of bums/panhandlers as I did in Clint's video. In fact I don't think I saw one, great editing Clint!
Pfew! Glad you recovered, what a bummer! I really enjoyed the whole 'tour', thanks for spending the time editting! Do hope you usually get in more vitamine holding food ;) Ben (ByteDelight)
There's the festival itself, and there's the experience of getting to/from the whole thing. Which is what makes this video a fascinating time capsule in more ways than one. Thank you.
Sorry to hear you got sick dude. Do more of these vlogs. It's great for those of us who can't make it from our tiny parts of the Pacific ocean. We love hanging out with you. Your pad in the trees looks like the best place to heal from the 'vid too.
It’s not surprising. Covid hasn’t gone away. Especially a tiny venue with thousands of people cramped in small spaces with no ventilation. It’s going to happen.
Great video Clint. I appreciate all the effort that goes into making and editing a vlog like this. Thank Luke for me as well. I love to see the brothers hanging out together. Again, thanks for the privilege of letting us into your life for this trip.
Too bad you got THAT, I know the feeling. I had it 3 years ago and still suffering from fatigue, constant tiredness and the nerves controlling the heart rate is f***ed up. (Hooray for medication!) Loved watching this video. :) Cute visitors in the garden! :D
I see you went to portillos! Taking the pickle off the dog is SOP for me. We have two of them here in Madison, WI. My order is usually a Polish dog and a Chi dog with fries. That is alot of food for me. I grew up in Chicago, haven't been to Navy Pier in 40 years. It was a dump then. Glad to see they fixed it up and made it a destination. Thanks for sharing your trip.
I really like the fact that you included absolutely everything that has got anything to do with getting the video to the stage at which we're watching it: it really involves the viewer. Also, being careful not to show your house and stuff, your video DID manage to convey the fact that you're probably in a very nice area indeed ... with actual wildlife! It seems you just get to look out your window and get a free nature documentary!
Hey! My spouse and I were briefly in your official VCF Midwest video (I was in the yellow shirt taking a photo with you with my Mavica camera) and you walked through our neighborhood (we live super close to Dodd Camera). Glad you enjoyed your time in Chicago!
Never commented on one of your videos, and I'm two months late, but going through COVID now I had the time to sit down and watch it and I loved it. Definitely up there as one of my favourite video of yours, reminded me of the E3 video you did a while back. The editing is great, loved that there's no extra diegetic music and that you went for a calmer mood. Made me want to visit Chicago. Thank you for bringing us along with you!
Epic stuff! The VCFMW footage reminded me of visiting Computerbörse Zürich with my father back in the 90s. Especially enjoyed the last 15 minutes though... that editing marathon must have been quite the trip! Almost felt surreal watching it, with the bears and deer on top... and battling the CowWeed ... like watching an old school LGR thrifts episode in epic mode with a hint of David Lynch VLOG thrown in at the end :-) thx man!
Watching this vlog from my little town in england it looks like a spectacular city to visit. Really enjoying this content from you clint. Please come to UK.
Hi Clint (MRLGR), hope you’re well my friend. This video was strangely entertaining and amusing in many parts. Thank-you for taking the time to share this with us all. 😊
Two and a half hours just blasted by. Very nice vlog. And having thst twist in the "story" at the end made it a nice documentaryish video. Hope your are well.
I use this video as background noise whenever I need something comforting. I really hope you keep doing long vlogs like this, it's very ambient and calming and make you feel less lonely. Thanks Clint
Never hoped I'd get that much VCF vlog watchtime this year! This video was delightful and really makes me want to visit Chicago at some point now.. Always enjoy seeing sights of the critters in the backyard/forest as well.
Brilliant video and vlog. I was sad at the end finding out you wasn't very well.. glad you pulled through. Hope your brother is OK too. Taken me ages to watch this video due to life.. ha! Loved it though! 😊
LMAO Stinking Creek road, and the bridge to nowhere was over French Broad River WHAT BIG BONE LICK. Thanks for taking us to Chicago with you! Even from Wisconsin I have yet to be in Chicago, let alone downtown. Ironically, a couple weeks prior to VCF, my girlfriend and I took a vacation in Naperville, pretty close to there, and we were totally going to go to that restaurant. Instead, we went to the Plank Bar + Grill in our hotel (Hotel Indigo) and i had a very similar burrito, only no avocado and on what seemed to be some sort of spinach/oscar the grouch tortilla. Delicious nonetheless.
Really enjoyed this, thanks for all the work on it. Ive always wanted to visit Chicago but at this rate it seems like I'll never get there so I really appreciated the on the street walking tour of things. Just so much neat architecture... and food making me hungry
A few thoughts: It was bittersweet to see your brother leave at the airport. How great is that Ninja coffee maker? Can we get closure on the burst pipes?
Thank you for taking us with you and showing us around. This has become one of my favorite videos from you. I absolutely enjoyed it. Planning my next road trip because of this, you should be somewhat financially liable 😆 Jokes aside, truly an amazing video!
This Blerrrrrrrb was enjoyable. Vlogs are a nice change from the other typical types of content every once in a while. Now to watch the actual LGR with narration video and then watch the recording of the panel that came up in the recommended section on the side. The drinking whiskey and relaxed bit made me lol.
I watched the whole thing and loved every second! Such a cool thing to experience with you through video! Conventions are super fun! The bears were super cute too :D Looking forward to more vlogs ;)
Very enjoyable video, watched all of it and it was all great. Love your style. Love the computer bits but also really liked the travel sections too! You are definitely my fave TH-cam guy.
And back to bullets, knives and eagles country. Welcome home, I guess. Too bad about the Corona, man. Thanks anyway for this. It was a great "slice of life" from another continent and you just broadened my horizon a fair bit. Great job!
This was a treat to watch. I enjoyed seeing your videos walking around Chicago. I've never been there myself (well I don't count layovers in the airport) so it was cool to see the sites with you.
I finally got a chance to watch this. For me this was really enjoyable, partly because I'm from the Chicago area and it was cool to see "home" but also because it was such a different take on what it's like to go to one of those shows. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, I'm sure it was a lot of editing to get it to 2.5 hours. We all appreciate what you do.
Ah, this was absolutely delightful, really gave me the sense of being there with you. Unfortunately money is really tight right now, so travel is off the books for an indeterminate amount of time (I couldn't go to VCF West this year, and that event is in my home state) so this video (along with the VCFMW video on your main channel) helped scratch that itch. Also I've never been to Chicago, always wanted to go and someday hope to make it out there (maybe even for VCFMW some year.) And yeah, EVERY time I travel, no matter how thoroughly I prepare, I ALWAYS manage to forget something. Usually tech related. So I totally feel you there. I've had to go on adventures to find weird stores in dodgy parts of town because I forgot a charger or a USB cable or a memory card for my camera or something. Luckily Amazon is a thing these days. Earlier this year I was at an anime convention and needed a new USB-C charger. (Technically I didn't forget to bring mine, the damn thing broke on me.) The hotel gift shop had chargers, but (A) they were charging exorbitant rates for them, and (B) they didn't even have a USB-C one?! So I just hopped on Amazon, typed in the hotel's address + my room number, and ordered a new one and had it shipped next day, problem solved.
I am so offended you didn't get the "I'm sexy and I know it" bump sticker!!! Absolutely loved this vlog, it's fantastic to get such little moments of your life in-between the videos 🥰
So, when are we going to see a travel thrifting series? Where you travel around the US checking out cities and random cool thrift shops?! This should be a thing!
I’m genuinely thinking about it. Especially since thrifting ain’t what it used to be near me.

@@LGRBlerbs lol, my big thought watching this was I wonder if you did much thrifting, it's been a while.
@@LGRBlerbsThe thrifting near me sucks. It’s all clothes. Maybe some old cameras, but the only tech is microwaves and toasters.
@@ferretyluv My area is no better when it comes the Thrift Stores its got so bad I've sadly just stopped going.

Being from Chicago and having lived here for my entire life, the stuff you guys did is things I realistically have not done
Do you mean literally?
So true. I've lived half an hour from the city my whole life and I've not done most of this stuff, so it's neat to see.
Tech TH-camrs always have the best blogs. 8 bit guy has done some, and like this one, you guys just know what is interesting and engaging in travel

This Blerrrrrrrb was enjoyable. Vlogs are a nice change from the other typical types of content every once in a while. Now to watch the actual LGR with narration video and then watch the recording of the panel that came up in the recommended section on the side. The drinking whiskey and relaxed bit made me lol.
What a fantastic doc/vlog, would love to see an entire series of this in thrifting and travel
I watched the whole thing and loved every second! Such a cool thing to experience with you through video! Conventions are super fun! The bears were super cute too :D Looking forward to more vlogs ;)
This is probably my favourite of all your videos.
Very enjoyable video, watched all of it and it was all great. Love your style. Love the computer bits but also really liked the travel sections too! You are definitely my fave TH-cam guy.
Thank you!
I find this to be so fun and relaxing to watch.. thank you
And back to bullets, knives and eagles country. Welcome home, I guess. Too bad about the Corona, man.
Thanks anyway for this. It was a great "slice of life" from another continent and you just broadened my horizon a fair bit. Great job!
This was a treat to watch. I enjoyed seeing your videos walking around Chicago. I've never been there myself (well I don't count layovers in the airport) so it was cool to see the sites with you.
I finally got a chance to watch this. For me this was really enjoyable, partly because I'm from the Chicago area and it was cool to see "home" but also because it was such a different take on what it's like to go to one of those shows. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, I'm sure it was a lot of editing to get it to 2.5 hours. We all appreciate what you do.
Interesting how the camera uses a more directional mic when zoomed in, then switches to more stereo / ambient mics when zoomed out. Huh. Clever.
Loved the nature walk at the end. We don't have bear sightings here in Hickory. We do have deer, squirrels, and my favorite....raccoons!
Ah, this was absolutely delightful, really gave me the sense of being there with you. Unfortunately money is really tight right now, so travel is off the books for an indeterminate amount of time (I couldn't go to VCF West this year, and that event is in my home state) so this video (along with the VCFMW video on your main channel) helped scratch that itch. Also I've never been to Chicago, always wanted to go and someday hope to make it out there (maybe even for VCFMW some year.)
And yeah, EVERY time I travel, no matter how thoroughly I prepare, I ALWAYS manage to forget something. Usually tech related. So I totally feel you there. I've had to go on adventures to find weird stores in dodgy parts of town because I forgot a charger or a USB cable or a memory card for my camera or something. Luckily Amazon is a thing these days. Earlier this year I was at an anime convention and needed a new USB-C charger. (Technically I didn't forget to bring mine, the damn thing broke on me.) The hotel gift shop had chargers, but (A) they were charging exorbitant rates for them, and (B) they didn't even have a USB-C one?! So I just hopped on Amazon, typed in the hotel's address + my room number, and ordered a new one and had it shipped next day, problem solved.
FWIW, I watched all of this. Awesome stuff. I can appreciate the effort. You dun gude...
Thanks for the video mate. You're a good guy.
I used to hang out with the OPL Archive guy on forums back in the late 00s. Good times.
Thanks for the tour in Chicago!
Midtown Madness!
I am so offended you didn't get the "I'm sexy and I know it" bump sticker!!!
Absolutely loved this vlog, it's fantastic to get such little moments of your life in-between the videos 🥰
I heard about this super long version of the other video and inmediately looked for it lol. It's gonna be a blast for sure!
