Events never make money in the first year. Most don't break even. You have to have enough funds to run three or four years to expect to start making a profit.
Open sauce was fantastic. I had an incredible amount of fun, everybody I met was so kind and the space felt so comfortable, I really hope you'll continue to host it although maybe in a different location? I can't imagine Pier 35 was cheap. Also would allow for more ticket sales. Keep your head up, everyone I've heard from that went had an amazing time, and I know it was a huge expense both financially and mentally so I just want to say thank you for putting it on despite the hurdles.
This was one of the best events I have literally ever been to, it was a blast. THANK YOU for hosting it William! Plus Michael Reeves kicked my robot 11/10 would spend 2 months on a turtle robot again
The shipping crate at the merch stand was so well-painted! Everything at the event was so cool, but we all understand if next year's event is up in the air :)
Nah William will finally strike somthign big and be able to retire before the kid is old enough to remember , then he'll just casually drop stories about all the stuff he used to do back in the day as "dad lore" that his kid will never believe.
As an exhbitor at open sauce, I'd just like to say I had such an amazing time, and so did everyone else that was there, even if you didn't turn a profit you have singlehandedly made the best convention I've been to and I've been to many. I hope you do it again next year, everyone at the convention wanted to go again and everyone who didn't go that I talked to said they would buy tickets for next year. And now that your know what to expect more or less I'm excited to see what you can come up with!
Opensauce was 100% worth taking a red eye across the country to see and then a redeye back home. Might be the best time a person can have in SF. And the weather was uncharacteristically nice. Thank you so much for having all of us and I can’t wait for next year!
I wish I could have gone. It sounded so badass. SF is just too far away for me to get away from my daily responsibilities. If there's an open sauce 2 I'll be there.
@@BensMiniToons wtf I looked it up and expected it to be like upper like max 600 but in the $300 and damn people are really paying $1000 or financing across years for that thing
I loved Opensauce, I so so SO hope that it happens again next year--and with more sponsors!!! So many people showed up, and it was a great opportunity to meet my engineering icons.
It was a ton of fun. I cant wait for next year. Ill be there. If you can make it next year do it. I met Michael Reeves, Codys Lab, Grady Hill house, Electroboom. Saw tons of cool projects. Next year its going to be even better.
For the record, as an attendee the event was fucking INCREDIBLE and I’m so glad they put it on. Hats off to him for taking on the financial burden of it but MAN did he pull off a smooth running event, especially for a first time.
Thank you, open sauce was my first real trip out of Canada, I only made it the one day, but I had a blast, and I'm already planning on coming next year for it if I can. Thank you again!
I heard a great story from your mom about your parents getting a call from the FBI, and they automatically assumed it was cause of your stuff, but it was actually one of your neighbors and your parents were SO relieved lol
Big Willy!! I've missed you man! I know you were super busy with Open Sauce and all, but it's great to have you back. I always love you and the shenanigans you and your friends get into.
Hey William, I missed the event because I heard of it too late, so I couldn't save up (need to come from the EU). The list of TH-camrs was SICK, all my favorite ones, and now I see Adam Savage? My god man, I'm so sad I missed it. I would love to be at one next year, and if you're going to organize it again, would be super cool to hear about it earlier so I can plan and save up money! Thanks man, love all the content and would love to join the event next year if there is going to be a next one.
It was a fun event and I'm thankful for your efforts to put it on! You looked a bit tired as you setup for the exosuit, so I hope you got a well deserved rest!
Thanks for the update on how things are going William. If anyone wants a rough run down of open sauce Swell Entertainment did a break down of the event. She was very positive about it, and knowing the cons she been too it's high praise great job guys!
Open Sauce was one of the most fun, interesting, and exciting weekends of my life. So cool to experience as an exhibitor. I hope to bring back my tattoo machine for some real ink next year!
Honestly, I couldn't attend but seeing the footage of the creators involved and some of the weirdness going on made me feel all fuzzy and warm. :-) I hope you'll carry on in the future and will be able to enjoy it as much as your guests obviously did. :-)
I have trouble sleeping, usually cause my mind is racing thinking about 18,743 things I need to do tomorrow but I've never done a 60 hour stretch in 48 hours.
Love you will and appreciate what you did for us I couldn’t make it this year due to a family reunion that I haven’t been to since my mom died but if you hold it again next year I’ll be there and make sure to bring as many people as possible
I spent a fortune on plane tickets and hotel and Uber to go to Opensauce but it was a truly amazing event and one of the top 10 experiences of my life so thank you William for that
Absolutely loved going to opensauce, day one there were a few minor issues with the food voucher/premium swag line but it got fixed pretty quick after. The event was handled really really well and kudos to all the staff and the planning that went into the use of space. Also the catering was REALLY good, best convention food I've had. I absolutely can't wait to go next year, hope the boat comes back! Edit: It's also so cool seeing myself around in random media from OpenSauce lol, most audience shots of the talks I'm up front
Im watching these videos months in the past (likely missing context in many aspects as its algorithm driven), and my favourite part is just this unmentioned car that is slowly more and more damaged
So you have a convention under your belt now, eh? Welcome to the fold! Hope the sight of seeing the attendees happy and excited was fuel enough for you to keep it up for next year (or maybe organize OpenSauce like... every two years or something)... Also, incredible job pulling off organizing a convention of that size! You have done much better than most first-time convention organizers!
Sensai Ten Hundred taught me how to paint a mural. See my full FORKLIFT GRAVEYARD on his channel th-cam.com/video/PZLhIxAY0x4/w-d-xo.html
Event would have been better if you whipped out the big Willy
Literally 1984 with that deleted reply
2 🐐's
After seeing this video i'm very glad i missed out on this :D
will the podcast be uploaded live ? i wanna see my self shoot the toy ball at alan and hit the guy in the first row
1st times are always the worst times. It only gets better. Unless you are a kidnap victim. Then it really doesn't get better.
Maybe the next kidnapper has better candy to offer
It wasn't the first time X games event happened, nothing justifies it being that bad :P
@@Cobyc5150 or maybe being kidnapped is your kink.
A great man once said, "you can prevent any rape.....if you consent to it"
Or unless you're Idubbbz
I can’t believe william knew he probably wouldn’t turn a profit and still came through with the event, truly a chad

@@driverjayne yeah, i know, still a massive W to bring us something while losing money
It looked like a lot of fun, I wish I could have gone.

Didn't even lie about it being a charity event either

literally anywhere but Cali would be so nice
X games not open sauce
@@coyote9939 Considering where most of the creators live I forsee it staying in CA but who knows!
That shipping container was an unruly beast! Thanks for letting me art all over Open Sauce… and pee on your tree.
It was so cool to meet you at OpenSauce!
Fart all over open sauce and pee on the trees?
Event was amazing! Thanks to you and the team for inviting me to show off my typewriter
I saw your exhibit, it was so cool!
@@Maxb0tbeep Thanks for coming by! Glad you liked it 🙌
This was one of the best events I have literally ever been to, it was a blast. THANK YOU for hosting it William! Plus Michael Reeves kicked my robot 11/10 would spend 2 months on a turtle robot again
Also I made a video on the event
th-cam.com/video/sZWgSDFvWuE/w-d-xo.html
This vlog felt so feverdreamlike it was like an Adult Swim special but it's somehow real life. Somehow, William makes everything around him surreal.
I’ve been to quite a few youtube/youtuber events - this was the best one, by far. I’m so excited for next year!
The shipping crate at the merch stand was so well-painted! Everything at the event was so cool, but we all understand if next year's event is up in the air :)
this man is a father and I hope some day his child sees all the things he did and says "hell yeah, my dad is cool"
Or the kid lives the sitcom life titled, "my dad is a mad scientist"
Nah William will finally strike somthign big and be able to retire before the kid is old enough to remember , then he'll just casually drop stories about all the stuff he used to do back in the day as "dad lore" that his kid will never believe.

I hope the event wasn't really bad.
Electroboom has a video on it, looked like the majority of engineering youtubers were present
He meant the X Games event was bad
@@Bradguy123 X Games? More like Sucks Games, am I right? /s
It was so much fun. Absolute chaos, but in a good way.
@nehalmathew7510 that video made me regret not going and really hope they have it again next year.
I wish I could have gone. It sounded so badass. SF is just too far away for me to get away from my daily responsibilities. If there's an open sauce 2 I'll be there.
The onewheel Booth is very indicative of how their actual company is run. It's almost poetic how accurate that description is.

Open sauce was one of my greatest experiences. I had so much fun and made so many new friends. It was spectacular
any updates on safety third? that truly was the only thing keeping me sane every week and without it i fear that i may spontaneously combust
It's coming.
@@WilliamOsman2I'm coming.

Hahaha the event was amazing. Thanks for hosting it big Willie. Already got tickets for next year.
I loved Opensauce, I so so SO hope that it happens again next year--and with more sponsors!!! So many people showed up, and it was a great opportunity to meet my engineering icons.
William’s so impressive, he managed to fit 66 hours into 48 hours
You DO have a forklift license though, so that is good
It's not about the money you (don't) make, it's about the friends you made along the way
It was a ton of fun. I cant wait for next year. Ill be there. If you can make it next year do it. I met Michael Reeves, Codys Lab, Grady Hill house, Electroboom. Saw tons of cool projects. Next year its going to be even better.

I can't believe that car ran...
Thank you, open sauce was my first real trip out of Canada, I only made it the one day, but I had a blast, and I'm already planning on coming next year for it if I can.
Thank you again!
I am genuinly shocked that car was running
that the most allen pan i've ever seen allen pan , allen panning.
It's good to know he's just like that in real life. Actually no it's not good it's concerning.
The event: the birth of his Child.
Open sauce sounds like such a winner event, I wish to attend some year!
Bringing Adam Savage on to Safety Third would be insane
OpenSauce was so fun. No better place and no better people to share my pointless project with
I heard a great story from your mom about your parents getting a call from the FBI, and they automatically assumed it was cause of your stuff, but it was actually one of your neighbors and your parents were SO relieved lol
Although i myself couldnt go, i heard a number of great things about the prople who could go. I hope you can do another one next year!
Guys, I think the event he's talking about in the title is X Games, not Open Sauce. STAY CALM DON'T THINK HE'S DEPRESSED (at least not yet).
Now that open sauce ended I can't wait to see more Safety Third and I hope Technology Connections is on the show someday
Big Willy!! I've missed you man! I know you were super busy with Open Sauce and all, but it's great to have you back. I always love you and the shenanigans you and your friends get into.

This was a great behind the scenes video for 10Huns video of the container.
So many people said they loved the event!
The joke is that the X games event was awful, not OpenSauce.
Was happy to see you at the Mare Island Maker Faire a few months ago.
I didn't think the event was so bad.
The joke is that the X games event was awful, not OpenSauce.
I’m just kind of happy that Allan has bedsheets
William at the event: "I have become death. Destroyer of cons"
East Coast next year!!! I'm in Pennsylvania and we host a lot of tech-oriented conventions!!!!!!
Philly?
Let's hope more sponsors show up for next year!
Kevin: "It kind of tastes like Red Bull."
Monster employee: "Cut it"
I think William might have the only Ford Taurus wagon left on the road.
Open Sauce was one of the most fun, interesting, and exciting weekends of my life. So cool to experience as an exhibitor. I hope to bring back my tattoo machine for some real ink next year!
Whipping the broken car is the coolest thing i’ve ever seen William do
Ayo what Allen doin to the arm wrestler
The fact that car is even driving is a fucking miracle.
He looked so worn out when i aksed him for a selfie 😢
The fact that that Acura still runs and drives is nothing short of a miracle lmao
Willian, are you ok
great event will, it was a great time. the next event better have the liberty ship again, that thing was amazing.
Long Beach has the Queen Mary if you're still looking for a bigger boat. And it just reopened to the public not too long ago.
I wish I could’ve been to the event virtually :(
Open sauce was Fucking amazing william. I finally got to meet allen pan
Those early 2000s acura TLs had no business having as much power as they did
Always a great year when William remembers the password after 2 months
you did that Acura dirty, it's STILL running that's a good ship!
15 years from now a poor kids is going to be bullied relentlessly because this is there dad. 2:08
Honestly, I couldn't attend but seeing the footage of the creators involved and some of the weirdness going on made me feel all fuzzy and warm. :-) I hope you'll carry on in the future and will be able to enjoy it as much as your guests obviously did. :-)
IVE MISSED YOU FATHER
Only william can manage to have 30 hour long days.
Awesome event, thank you for hosting it, was definitely worth the trip from sweden :+1:
When William said he had been a bad boy, I didn't realize he was understating the fact.
Omfg i had original monster a few weeks ago and I told my friend and he said and I quote “ so you just drank battery acid?” Lmfao
Come to Ventura! And then keep driving to Santa Barbara.
I have trouble sleeping, usually cause my mind is racing thinking about 18,743 things I need to do tomorrow but I've never done a 60 hour stretch in 48 hours.
Next year for sure I’m traveling in from Sweden. So bummed I missed it!!! Even tenhun being there wtf 😭😭😭
your mural turned out great!
I'm definitely going to try to go next year
Definitely going to OpenSauce next year.
Hope to be able to get to open sauce 2 next year
Alan's house looks so much more unhinged than usual.
Love you will and appreciate what you did for us I couldn’t make it this year due to a family reunion that I haven’t been to since my mom died but if you hold it again next year I’ll be there and make sure to bring as many people as possible

holy shit i hope Allen got to talk to Adam Savage. I wonder what his take on the whole trademark situation is
The fact that car started had me floored
I truly believe that William deserves the world. Keep your chin up!!
it was clickbait title... opensauce was fine but the x games event was bad
@Ididathing needs to make this
lmao It actually happened. If I can get time off next year i'll try to go to open sauce.
have that container as one of the booths next time
I wish I could’ve gone but I am stuck in Houston
I had fun at the event it was an amazing experience:)
