Personal Story From 2016: Getting Snowed in at Reno, NV on my First Plane Trip

Описание: (2/1/2026) If you remember back in December, I made a video recounting my experiences with Star Wars: The Force Awakens on its 10th anniversary. I decided to do another retrospective video for a personal story in my life that predates the time I began uploading videos to YouTube.

10 years ago, I was in my Freshman year at Chandler High School and was in the choir program with not only my older brother Kevin (who was a Senior that year), but others such as my friends Menlo Grohman (who I previously mentioned from my Force Awakens retrospective) and Giovanni Peraza, who runs his own YouTube channel: ‪@GioTLGFan‬

From January 28 to February 1, 2016, we had our trip to Reno, Nevada for the Barbershop Harmony Society Midwinter festival at the Peppermill Hotel and Resort. I actually made videos of when I went to the 2019 festival in Nashville, Tennessee during my Senior year.

Anyways, our group flew to Reno on January 28, 2016, with a connecting flight through Las Vegas. We were originally supposed to fly home on January 31, only for the flight to be cancelled due to it snowing. We had to split aboard three separate flights to get home the following morning (February 1).

Because this trip was my first time flying, I immediately thought of Toy Story 2, with the film's climax continually playing in my head while in Reno/Tahoe International Airport, then as we were taking off to fly home on February 1. As unique of an experience this trip was for me, my ulterior motive for making this video is to announce that I will be making I Quote Toy Story 2 From Beginning to End in the near future. If you haven't seen my video where I quote the first Toy Story from beginning to end, you should watch it:    • I Quote Toy Story From Beginning to End  

Also, I wanted to give a shoutout to Lueroi, one of my favorite Pokemon YouTubers. Lueroi has been on and off YouTube over the years. But he came back from his first hiatus on January 31, 2016, while I was in Reno. He began uploading videos of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire on his channel which inspired me to watch his original Sapphire walkthrough while also playing through Pokemon Ruby. Unfortunately, Lueroi has been inactive since 2021, but he managed to complete his Crystal walkthrough. Lueroi, if you do see this, I wanted to give a shoutout to you because of how much I admired your Pokemon videos. ‪@Lueroi‬
