We recap the Neo York Pop-Up Store experience with a breakdown of the merchandise, the Shopify NY store layout, and interactive experiences that were available during the weekend event.

Also in this episode:

• The origin of Brightvale and how Meridell’s lore impacts this land
• What is Usukicon? And the items that were released in Neo York to celebrate this annual event!
• Keaton and Sarah play a round of Wonderclaw (now that the NC game is back!)
• Preview of the merchandise that Keaton bought and received at the VIP Party

This episode was recorded on Friday, August 21st, prior to the weekend’s events. Thank you to everyone who spoke with me (Keaton) about Sidebar throughout the weekend. We are so grateful that you are here. Your words and support mean so much.
