this episode of technobuffalo is powered by shutterstock.com welcome back to another episode of ask the buffalos a very special episode we are filming at CES 2013 this episode though we are answering one question and one question only what's it like for technobuffalo to cover a big show like CES ID so what's it like to cover a big show like CES and Baker so first of all you're never gonna get any sleep throughout the week so be prepared for that because I mean from morning to evening it's you know six in the morning till eleven or twelve at night when it comes to events when it comes to you know various meetings you're just walking the floor I mean really it's it's a long day and it's a long couple of days as you're here for traitor like CES or ctia so what about you what do you think so a lot of the tradeshow stuff does actually happen on the trade show for a lot of booths here and stuff there are vents and press events that go on these before people ask why we had a winner of our contest come out two days before the show that's that all the press events are going on I think Roy Choi actually said they shouldn't call them press conf you can't ask questions and we're like press lecture 1 also you know with Vegas it's like they're all in different hotels too so it's not just the lvcc the convention center it's you know in the pawns and in the venetian and in excalibur and in luxor so you're constantly going up and down the strip so half the time is trying to find a good cab or not i should say there aren't bad caps in vegas i guess they're all good do interview guys like before getting fewer against the cab like you sometimes I'm like how's it going you know what do you think of this cab is it good is it that tell me about your right I'm just saying you know I you never know what happens like this is Vegas some of the cab drivers i've been i've been covering this for four years there's some weird cab drivers and think so no offense city cab drivers out there that are watching there's something called the CES play going around where there's all kinds of flu outbreak trying not to get it so that's we've taken our vitamins we can sanitize we've done quite a few thing we try to get at least a little bit more sleeping by a little bit more i mean you know four to five hours as opposed to to discreetly and we actually lost our editor-in-chief sean on he came down with the flu 102 fever had to go to the hospital so it's a real thing we're trying to just stay healthy unfortunately i poisoned his drinks so he's gonna get sick when we get back but most of us are gonna be perfectly fine so to cover the show it's a lot of walking around it's a lot going to interview is going to press the actual time we get this wander and walk around is really very minimal you know maybe one or two hours each day if we're lucky but what I will say is it's good because we've got a team here this year and so I mean a ton of different people can cover a bunch of different things I mean me for example I had never seen the show for for more than two hours up until this year so being able to kind of go around and see cool stuff it's films and phones for the site your stuff like that with people who do we have a team of nine here actually including our contest winner David Taylor siren what's it like for you now a technobuffalo when you film a video what's your what's your process and how does that video go from you filming to live so what's nice again back to the team aspect of everybody being here we've got John Q doing some great video editing work we've got a great team riding up post so I can go out and focus on you know doing video content and bring it back and say hey can you edit this can you go we're gonna written piece and therefore we can get more videos for you so that's super exciting you know and I think same way for you as well I'm just nice to have a team I'm an assembly line if you will just different people doing great things for
