A "Pop Up Video"-style montage of off-convention footage from the LeakyCon trip (per the description): a hunt for a Boston hot-dog stand that turns up only an empty industrial park, a Vietnamese sandwich place instead, a "soul-seeing" glasses bit, and drinks mixed with supplies from a blood mobile.

What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — Boston lunch trip: hunting a hot-dog stand in an industrial park, banter about quitting day jobs, Vietnamese sandwich shop

  • ★★ a guest: A guest says reaching the hot-dog stand by bus meant a long walk and a two-hour lunch break; the group reaches an industrial park where the vendor should be, but he is not there. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★ a guest: In banter, one person says he quit his day job (no longer a chemical engineer) to be a "full-time wizard"; another says he was a biochemistry undergrad. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★ a guest: The group ends up at a Vietnamese sandwich place described as having one of the dirtiest-looking doors of any place you would actually eat. (playful) — 00:00:58

00:01:38 — Glasses bit: seeing souls and "dead people"

00:02:07 — Drinks mixed with supplies from a blood mobile; closing

  • ★ a guest: Someone says they got drink mixers from a blood mobile after giving blood, joking that they will get drunk for charity. (playful) — 00:02:07

Humor (significant)

  • The missing hot-dog vendor was supposed to be in a deserted industrial park. — 00:00:29

    “he's got this commitment to this industrial park where you can get. Wholesale Chinese kitchen supplies.”

  • Someone wearing glasses says he can see souls, except those of poles and concrete; asked about those souls: — 00:01:38

    “Do they seem fulfilled? No, they don't, actually.”

  • With the glasses on you can see more people than without them. — 00:01:38

    “So these are dead people glasses, right?”

  • Having given blood, they use blood-mobile supplies as drink mixers. — 00:02:07

    “it's for a good cause we're gonna get drunk for charity”
