I’m not here to act as a definitive firsthand source—readers should do their own research. I hope this inspires you to attend events, explore new industries, and hear what leaders are presenting. These notes combine my observations with thoughts on how things could run smoother and how ideas connect (IMO). I’m not an expert, you know? Just hanging out in the room with them.

NOTES FROM THE EVENT:
Hello! okay. So, when I got back I was jsut stunned. And all of my raw notes are below. Why? Well!!! I was OBSESSED with gamestop forever now, but even more so. I loved keeping up with it on social media. And then all of these groups kept getting. Kicked off kicked off. Reddit. Kicked off everything. All these groups and all these amazing arguments. DESTROYEd. These amazing arguments just shut down and destroyyed. And then, lots of info about some shady things going on. I mean what is going on? Perverse things? you know???? So i’m like what is going on?
Cause I’ve just seen so much online saying that gamestop fights for the future and fairness in retail - but then they have these WEIRD PERVERTED SOUNDING PARTIES. WHAT THE HECK??? What the heck - and you hear any interview of Ryan Cohen and he says he doesnt even like that - so what is going on??? why are they doing this when their CEO DOESNT LIKE IT? OR DOES HE? I DONT THINK SO!
Okay/. This was not a party. I felt like I just gave a weird code word to get jerked off or soemthing??? 😂 like why do they not know about a pull party and not have had one for 6 months and no one showed up for one since? What is a pull party? Tis is not a party. waht is going on at this? Please tell me. okay - i’m just like . i dont even know.
let me do my ratings for fun at the end and i will clean this up later. and i am in the mood to do a collage - i feel like ineed ot do some design.
GAHHH AND YESTERDAY I FREAKING HYBERNATED MY LINKEDIN SO I CANT EVEN TALK TO THESE GUYS AND POST ITTTT UUUGH. i hope they see this. because i rememver the blog wher ethey said there’s super advanced social media tech so… ukjsfljkdsfjklsljk;sfdfjkl;sfsjl;kfsl;jkfsl;jks;fjlfsjlfsejl;fsejl;fsej;lfsejl;.

I’m calling myself hte trading card queen?????????? what the. yes. i am. god. no. i dont want any of these names. i dont like ANY OF THIS . WE NEED A NORMAL WORLD WITH PEACE AND FUN TIMES AND EVEN IF THINGS JUST ARE THE WAY PEOPEL THINK THEY ARE IT WILL BE FUN AND WE CAN GET HEALTHY ALTERNTATIVES TOO.
UUGH let me write my notes. i will write them below just give me a second… i need to figure out waht to say - though i’ll jsut write it all :( but i may change a little of the wording just cause idk. i dont wanna exactly spell out some of thisjsilfs;jes;ljksfjhlfsfsjl;fsl;jkfse;ljksfekl;jesf;jklfsejkl;sfej;klfes;jkl cause i dont even know what that was? you know? okay. i’ll be back. i’ll be back.
MY NOTES:
so i decided to dress like "gamestopppy" with my kitty shirt and even a necklace my daughter made and then i got two new studnets today so that was fun
THen i got to the gamestop and the staff member was complaining how the prices on everything keep chanigng. he said yeah, the prices are changing on everything. blame it on MSRP.. TARIFFS, staff says: just make up your moind (to the leadership)
One pro, one mega, two whatever. they're ordering. they're so into pokemon cards.
Next guy, what are you interested in? Two of each.
another guy wants to save with the bundle.
Then they said you can do your card grading submissions? Some guy came in and asked if they can do card grading submissins right now and THE STAFF MEMBER SAID NO! he said no, you need to wait until 1-2. And the guy repeated, 1-2 okay. thank you.
THen tehy're asking everyone for their phon numeers, $5 coupon. Save money wherenver i can. Get whatever I can, i'll get it. Right? Last minute
So like they’re implying they may not be able to resist to get it graded or something? Or wait?
IDK that sounded weird.
Then they’re talking about “oh, i saw the things about battlefield, oh yeah oh yeah”. “By the time you get there tonight, it might be eleven. Good luck, sir. “
First time, he didn’t know any of it. I asked him about the pull party and he didn’t know - about it and I said yeah, I saw it online. Its on your website. But he said they don’t have a sheet ready.
And I said, well you have it advertised online? So… it said the top peopel get it, three lucky winners.
He said that he’s been off for a week and is a little behind.
Used to be the thing you’d pull and play and get the cards or whatever button its different.
That’s what everyone knows the regular order or whatever.
It used to be whoever got the best pull gets something something, but now…
Well, you have to convince someone else to stay. If there peopel you get a free submission.
I said, wait? I need to wait two hours for this? And he said - yeah. IDK - then he made it sound convincing so I waited. But… idk I just dont even know what are you talking about? Why do three people pull together? But he seemed to think it was worth the wait, so I just waited.
Then he just said you want to get things as cheap as possible, it’s why we are here.
So I waited liek an hour. While I was waiting a guy came in to return something or renew something and then the sales guy kept trying to offer him SO many discounts so that ist was free.
OMG OMG hahahahaha but then the guy says, no- it’s okay I’ll pay full price. And the guys is liek, no. its good for my numbers, why don’t you take this discount? And he’s like - no. it’s okay. I want to pay full price. Hahahahahahahah OMG THIS GUY IS AN APEEEEEE hahahahahahahahahah. This guy is an ape. This guy. Is. An. Ape.
So. Omg, he literally laughs at the employee’s coupon.
No joke I literally used to go to AMC’s and buy two seats or three. Back when I felt so cocky with money - just to support the company ahahahah and watch a good movie.
Hahah this guy is the best. He’s so happy to be spending and this guy behind hte register just really doesn’t get it. He’s not even trying to make money for the company it seems like. He just works here one day a weeekkk??
HOW DO PEOPLE NOT GET THIS!?????? HOW DO THEY NOT SEE WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT HERE WITH THIS AMAZING FINANCIAL OPPORTUNTIY AND REVOLUTION??? ITS like what the heck hahaha. Omg how are these employees not so happy to work here????
So then yeah, the guy refuses. Says he wants to spend the money. And I’m laughing so hard to myself cause I’m like - omg this guy is retail and retail will prevail.
He’s so happy hahaha. And they give him stickers? Idk - I was just like zoning out and waiting…
Okay so now the guy working here says he wants to pretend he drew my name but he can’t find a grey area for it. So he’s going to look into it. So, he’s still looking.
He said you really need three people, but there may be a grey area.
A grey area to pull a card???
He said the other mall usually get more peopel for that. Not here for so long but they’ve had signs for over 6 months and no participants.
Then I hear something on his like employee training video or whatever, cause it was legit just ME AND HIM there for this PULL PARTY hahaha what hte heck? And then the training video is like, “don’t forget to tell customers about the pool party” or idk if it said pool or pull, but there was literally a pool in the picutre - so I’m like waht the heck are you guys having a pool party (but I asked him later and he said no).
So then I decided to leave cause the guy was literally like - you should leave, I dont think more peopel are showing up??? And I’m like WHAT THE HECK??? Like - wouldn’t my odds be better? Lol. But he told me to go to the other gamestop. So I’m like uh okay.
So I go to the other gamestop and I see there are people in the back for the pull party, I guess.. cause it was only liek freaking less than 10 poeople in there and so I’m like uuhg what is this party~?!??! Hahah. Its sounding WORSE BY THE MINUTE PEOPLE
So anyway, then it’s like they’re celebrating. THey’re like woo hoo! You won. And they tell the peopel at the table that they won. So idk are they like playing pokemon or something already. But, this is just not welcoming and I feel this every TIME I go to this gamestop and I’m like what the heck GAMESTOP I LOVE YOU WHERE IS THE LOVE BACK!? Really this store is never nice to me!! Hahah so. Whatever.
So anyway, THENNENENENENE
They’re like “congratulations” put it off a little bit, right? We’ll see - come back before the end of the day… or if you have the cards right now, submit now.
And one guy said he wasn’t sure if he could wait to put it off or not?
What the heck? I don’t even get this cause the other guy said you can’t even go in till 1 or 2 to submit or something?????
Then they’re celebrating that they got pokemon cards “LOOK AT THOSE FRUITS?”
THey’re so excited to win. He goes “wow! Big cards, fuck!”
“You want it? You don’t want it? You want trade? I don’t want it as much”
Then this guy said he bought two boxes or three boxes. But not the bundles.
I’m like what the heck you guys!?!?!? This event/party is already over? Like - they have already pulled or something?
So then they say “oh I opened it a you cam me. A pricey card. A. Whole 6 dollars”
“No thank you, bring your reading cards. Advanced trades are only for FRIDAYS.
HE SAID HE WORKS ON FRIDAYS THIS GUY SAID HE ONLY WORKS ON FRIDAYS AND FRIDAYS ARE SPECIAL DAYS FOR POKEMON “POKEMON FRIDAYS!”!”!”!”!”!” IS THIS WHY EVERYOEN WAS LINED UP LIKE DRUG DEALERS??? to get all of these cards!! these scannable cards.
They said okay. WHAT?!?!? Then these guys are geeking out over pokemon cards and he starts talking about how he used to be a truck driver and n one ever ywants to be a truck driver - but BEFORE HTAT HE USED TO WORK AT A LOCAL AIRPLANE COMPANY THAT MY FRIEND USED TO WORK FOR AND SHE USED TO BE A CONSULTANT THERE AND SHE USED TO LAUGH!!! MY OLD NEIGHBOR USED TO LAUGH AND SAID IT WAS ALMOST LIEK THEY WERE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON PURPOSE ANDTHAT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO.
And then THIS GUY STARTS TALKING ABOUT POKEMON FRIDAYS OR WAHTIEVEJRLS;EJ

NO WONDER THE STOCK PRICE HAS NOT CHANGED FOR YEARS - WAHT IS GOING ON AT GAMEST!PPPPPPPPPPPPPLP. What in the WORLD does “TRADING CARDS!?” mean in your world? For me. It means TRADING CARDS - PAPER THAT YOU HAVE. AND COLLECT if you want. and you LEARN FROM. WHAT IS THIS? i am suspicious of their use of the word trading cards, and I LOVE GAMESTOP. this is not right.
uugh. okay. that is my full-fledge, un-calmed blog for you guys. i’m going to make a collage now. then prep for my class in an hour. I will not write a single more blog oro attend ONE MORE EVENT (except the one on satudray). UNTIL I AM SURE THAT RCEO HAS SEEN THIS AND CAN LOOK INTO IT AND IS SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!! AND MYSELF TOO WHAT IS THIS!?!?!?!? 🦧
SAVE GAMESTOP!! SAVE THE TRUE GAMESTOP!!! SAVE GAMESTOP!!!!! SAVE WHAT GAMESTOP CAN STAND FOR

Speaker Content (0/5) - um. they didn’t know what was going on, they cheated the rules that were online, and they dindt even explain the pull party to me at all. and then they just were talkign about getting secret numbers and how they used to get paid for it and idk!! and then couldn’t even get me a credit cdard.
Networking (1/5) - not really. it seems like you COULD meet people there, but they dindt even welcome you or like invite you to join the pull party after i went to the empty first one for an hour ANDTHEN THE SECOND ONE THEY CHEATED AND DID IT EARLY AND LET EVERYONE PULL 10 MINUTES IN AND THEN IT WAS OVER AND THEN THEY JUST WNTED ME TO HAVE ONE ALONE???
