Fandom High: The Convention

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

You can blame me and a handful of other people about this. Including some off-Fandom peoples, who are trying to organize the anime con season.

Anyhooo... would anyone be up for a FH Meetup? A separate convention, or as part of an existing sci-fi/fantasy/anime/general geekery convention?

I know there's a number of FHers around the DC area. I also know that Canada's drinking age is 19. So there's two options, albeit CanUS centric.


Is there interest in this?

totally always been in this community. honest

Coooooooooooooooooome to DC!

I have a comfy couch and a spare mattress. . . .

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

ooh comfy couch. in DC that's almost as good as having parking :)

seriously it is only an 8 hour drive for me and i have done it for a weekend many times before (why yes i drive 8+ hours for gaming, why do you ask)

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

Totally call mattress! It's okay that I snore, right?

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

DC would be an awesome spot, yes.

There are... 8-10 of us here (or very nearby).

*glares at extortionate airfares from the UK*

... having said that, I could maaaybe be persuaded to take an appropriately timed holiday. You never know.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

where in the UK are you? (i go to london several times a year)

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

In the Midlands. :)

Doesn't take much to get me over there, though. London's awesome.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

It really is. i go a bunch (twice in january) as i have LARPing buddies there. Every time i think i would love to live there. then i convert the prices to dollars and realize that nope. can't.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

That's the thing. I don't have a place or time. Once ever year? Every spring/fall? I don't want it to be in Snowstorm Central, but I do n't want to smell everyone's armpits in the dead of summer.
