Not saying this is GOING to happen, BUT . . .

If someone were to engineer a Ghastly-Con, could they count on you to attend?
If it took place in Ghastly's current home-city (and mine) of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada?
If there was a slight fee to take care of organizing and such?
If there was an insane fee which I pocket almost everything of?
If you had to pose nude in a vat of chocolate pudding (or lime jello, if you're allergic to chocolate pudding) to gain entry?

Please, lemme know.
At this time, I have not cleared this with Ghastly in the slightest. Really, it's just an excuse for some nefarious or diabolical plan the subconscious part of my mind is cooking up. But still, it could turn out pretty awesome with a little community tentacoo wape.

I would pose nude in chocolate pudding if it paid for my airfare!

Actually, it's not that expensive to fly there, prolly only $400. Would be great to have a get-together though.

Wow, I could probably drive there. You guys only live 4 and a half hours away from my parents.

I'd love to go but I'm a poor college student.
If it was planned for after 2007 I could save up monies and come in my goggles.

Mmm... goggles...

*drools*

Really, somebody should call Ghastly's attention to this before it spins out of control or anything. Granted, I doubt it's really gonna spin THAT far out of control.

But who knows? Twenty years from now there might be thousands of nerds lined up in tentacle-monster costumes at the Hamilton Convention Centre waiting to see the withered remains of a certain artistic master named Chris.

This sounds interesting. I will be in Canada at the beginning of August, but I'm not entirely sure where in Canada I will be, and the people I will be with while I'm there would probably be a little freaked out by a tentacoo wape convention. So I probably won't be able to make it.

And as far as posing naked in pudding goes, sign me up!

I will be there with bells on... Pennies permitting.

*begins building The Ghastly Mausoleum, a building of such awesome beauty that it rivals the Pyramids of Giza, a building bedecked with such awesome meaning that it rivals the ultimate resting place of Mao Tse Tung, a building filled with such glorious treasure that Indiana Jones himself would say that the whole thing "belongs in a museum!" A building so incredibly fantastic that when you look at it from just the right angle, during just the right time of day (sunrise) you'll realize that it looks exactly like a enormous spurting strap-on... This shall be The Legacy*

Now... where'd that chocolate pudding go?

I've learnt not to make promises to attend these kind of things, as it may seem pretty simple, but taking the time to detach oneself from the everyday cycle is too much.

[Ed.], Mr. Ed, the talking horse.

Don't get me wrong, though, I'd love little things more than a G-con.

I had to pick 4, because I'd love to go, But I'd have to sell my motorbike to afford the airfare......

Awkwardschoolgirl · Post by **Awkwardschoolgirl** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 2:45 pm

I'd be all over it, even if it means it'll just be about five of us including unka G sitting in a room and hanging out. It'd be raaaaaad!

Indigo Violent · Post by **Indigo Violent** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 4:29 pm

I would like to go, but unless it's on the Island or in Vancouver, or I managed to get an amazing deal on airfare, I'd probably have to bow out.

Suggestion:

Rather than insisting on Hamilton, use a Frappr map or something similar to find out where everyone lives. Pick a city that's central to as many of us as possible and have the con there. The rest of the attendees, having saved on airfare/busfare/trainfare/carfare could chip in for Ghastly and VT's travel expenses; that has to be less than the sum of everyone else's savings.

Well, not that Las Vegas is centrally located;
But Las Vegas is probably the cheapest airfare for most of us.

Hell, I can fly to LV for $75 right now.

But it seems kind of. . . *wrong*

you know?

MistressMaggie · Post by **MistressMaggie** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:59 pm

Vegas is Dirt Cheap!

I was looking into taking a trip to vegas for my 21st, and a return flight from detroit plus 3 nights accommodation was $400 Canadian. You can't fly anywhere in canada for $400. A flight from my local airport to Toronto (a 4 hour drive away) is $300.

it's definately a 'one day' phenomenon here... airfare from australia to anywhere in north america for the two of us both ways is going to be around the 6-8K mark. heinously infeasible at the current juncture.

*lightbulb appears brightly above Lulu's head*

I'm off to check those corporate frequent flyer miles...

Incidentally, KatjaPurrs, where are you dearest?

Heck, count me in if someone organizes it I'll be up for it. Heck, invite some other hentai and comic artists to be guests too. Poe of Errant Story would be an awesome guest. Invite Clay of Sexy Losers and while you're springing for a guest from Japan invite Po~ju over, I'm sure there are lots of people who would love to meet her.

Ghastly · Post by **Ghastly** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:05 pm

Oh hey! And Science Ninja Big Ten will perform a concert each night of the convention!

Can we get swordies to fab-tastically fab on the crowd like one of those stage props from a Gwar! concert... Just asking...
