My plane ride took forever, but I'm back. :P I've flown across America and it was awesome. California is the coolest place in the world. So many cool things to do. But one of the coolest ROBLOX related things I did, was go to the ROBLOX RALLY!
I know it's 7 days ago, but now I can finally tell you what happened. :P
So, I just so happened to be in San Fran on the day of the ROBLOX rally. However, I didn't have a ticket for the rally. Although, I really wanted to go. So, my parents drove me to the rally.
So, when we got there it was 2 o' clock. When we got there we went to the check-in desk and they asked me if I had a ticked. I said no, but I told them that I was Benblue9 and I've come all the way from the other side of the country and I've been playing ROBLOX since 2008 and It'd mean a lot to me to see the event. The Check-in guy was so nice that he looked at me and said "Alright, here you go." and he gave me a ticket and a pass. :D
So, at first I walked in and was like "Wow, this is cool :D" and then I walked over to a "Meet the Admins table" and I met Sorcus and Stealth Pilot. They asked me what I did on ROBLOX so I told them about my clan work and Stealth Pilot was really impressed and he said "Haha, Sorcus, looks like He [Me] has you beat on getting members." and Sorcus said "Yep. Looks like he does, I might need tips from you! haha"
So, I decided to walk over to the Conference room where Builderman, Erik.Cassel, and Telamon were giving a speech. They basically described some future updates: Pets for your ROBLOXian, Triangular studs, a POSSIBLE Voice-Chat, and possible new physics [ie: Actual Water?].
Eventually I wanted to explore more things so I went over to the "Meet the Developers" table. I met the two head developers, however I do not remember their names. So, as requested by C&G, I told them about "Group Logs" I told them the entire idea and how it would really benefit the clan world and stop "Admin Attacks [Which I had to explain to them what they were :P]." They LOVED the idea. It was funny because, all the other kids who suggested stuff they were like "Oh, go on-line and put it in our suggestion forum :)" and then when 'Benblue9' suggests something the guy took a pen and paper and wrote down the whole Group Logs idea. They liked it so much they gave me a free ROBLOX shirt for the suggestion.
After that I felt like OYUS. So then I was just strollin' through the main lobby when the coolest thing ever happened. I can still picture it perfectly. Some kid looks at my name tag saying "benblue9" on it. His jaw drops and screams "YOU'RE BENBLUE9?" and his expression turns to a smile and him and his four buddies look in awe and run over to me. The people who they were all hudled around before coming over to me was actually StickMasterLuke. (I think I annoyed him by stealing all his fans lol)
They all started asking me for my autograph, to sign their shirts, and to take a pic with me. Soon more and more kids started crowding me and being like "OMG BEN!!!! HII :D" It was awesome. I was signing all these autographs and all there parents were taking their kids' pic with me. Some mother took like 14 pix of me and I was like ummmmmmmmm.
Then Stickmasterluke walked over to my crowd :3 and gave the t-shirt back to some kid that he had signed so I said "Oh Mister Stickmaster, how nice to meet ya!" and He said "Yea, you too. I can see your kinda busy. haha" so I said "Yea, but ya know I was a huge fan of yours back in 2008." and he said "Oh that's great!" and then some little kid ran up to Stickmasterluke and yelled for his mom to take a pic with him, so that ended our conversation..
Soon an awesome lady named Whittney who is one of the workers in ROBLOX's MP sources came up to me. She was the lady in charge of filming the ROBLOX rally event and making the vids for it. She saw the crowd of people over me and said she thought I'd be perfect to HOST the [To-Come-out-soon ROBLOX TV Vid] because so many people knew me. :D I said "UMG SURE! :D"
And before I knew it, I had a microphone hooked up to me, I ROBLOX sign near me, and I was being followed by a camera crew and I was interviewing random kids within the ROBLOX Rally about their favorite things on ROBLOX, and random questions I could think of :3
Luckily I'm an actor and a public speaker, so this was really fun for me. (So yes, you'll see meh irl once the vid is edited and put on ROBLOX)
Also, I'd like to note MOSCOW1234, for being the first UAF Member I met there! He's a really cool guy and you should send him a FR. (He also got to be the first person I interviewed).
Eventually I interviewed about 6 people. I even got to meet TheAmazeman, who we both used to be noobs and we were both great friends in our noob days. Then I got famous I suppose and shortly after so did he. (The Camera man got our meeting irl on camera, lol it was funny)
Then Whittney told me she would go and get an Admin for me to interview to show to ROBLOX. She went and got the creator of the GROUPS feature. It was amazing, he was only like a little 01der than me! He was a really chill dude and we talked about COOL FUTURE UPDATES TO GROUPS and we talked about how the group creation came to be, and then on camera, I talked to him all about group logs. After the Camera was off, he was really nice and he said "Wow, that is a great idea, I'll suggest it to the rest of the team at our Staff Meeting tomorrow Cya dude!" and I was like "Thanks man, cya!" and then I went over, got a pic with Matt Dusek and that awesome clan maker dude and then we chilled, then I got a pic with Telamon and I left.
It was awesome :) Wish you were all there to see ya :P
Ohyus, and AWESOME UAF updates will be starting today :) |

@ Justgoaway1
Aw, but that's unfortunate, I also came to meet you :P I was a bit dissapointed when I asked some huge clan fan if he had seen you and he said he didn't think you were there. |

I was there, I spent most of my time listening to the update conference things, and talking to different developers. I wish I had remembered the group logs, or I'd have mentioned it.
Too bad I didn't get to see you, benneh. D: |

| Aw gg, I wish I could've seen you, I knew there were hundreds of people in the conference area, but I didn't wanna stay over there to long because I wanted to meet people, not listen to updates. |
