Would you attend a Fluther convention/party?

Asked by essieness (7698points) March 23rd, 2009 from iPhone

I was thinking about this in the shower today. I would love to meet so many of you guys. In a month, I have become utterly attached to this place.

Anyway, Daloon brought it up as well on another thread so I thought I’d ask.

Would we have it online or in person somewhere? Maybe plan a yearly or bi-annual party? If it were planned far enough in advance, I think I’d make the drive, if it weren’t in Texas which is pretty much a given

In a heartbeat.
Fluthercon 2010, anyone?

TaoSan's avatar

You bet!

Bluefreedom's avatar

Absolutely, positively, affirmatively, resoundingly, convincingly, yes.

essieness's avatar

We need to create a PPC stat.

Allie's avatar

No, I wouldn’t go.

Kidding. Of course I’d go!

(Or of course I’d want to.)

Dr_C's avatar

Fluthercon sounds like a plan… may i suggest this as a venue? it worked for comic-con!

TaoSan's avatar

Will there be hookers and black jack? ;)

Allie's avatar

@TaoSan Wouldn’t that be too much like home? You need to have some wholesome, homemade cookies, buddy.

TaoSan's avatar

I take home with me wherever I go :) to the dismay of local law enforcement around the country, haha

asmonet's avatar

Can we cosplay as our avatars?

I can’t wait to see peedub there!

asmonet's avatar

Or for that matter, that sexy lady known as casheroo.

Or Nimis, in all her tentacled glory.

aviona's avatar

I would be a tree.

casheroo's avatar

I’d so go.

i think there’d unfortunately be cliques though :(

TaoSan's avatar

Daloon in his old avatar ‘d be nice :)

Allie's avatar

@casheroo The amount of cliques decrease as the amount of alcohol increases. So…. open bar!!!!

aviona's avatar

& then the cliques would be over 21 and minors.

TaoSan's avatar

LOL Allie. So true

casheroo's avatar

i’m in!

my avatar is quite awesome.

essieness's avatar

Ok so open bar, hookers, and blackjack. Check, check, aaand check.

aviona's avatar

I guess if I’m dressed up as a tree getting a fake won’t be too difficult.

augustlan's avatar

Don’t forget the pancakes!

If I could afford it, I’d be there in a freakin’ heartbeat.

TaoSan's avatar

Gosh I’m sitting in a bar getting drunk and instead of hitting on chicks I’m fluthering on my iPhone I should get a life, shouldn’t I ?

essieness's avatar

Pancakes, check.

Dr_C's avatar

Blackjack, open bar, cosplay… this is turning into one hell of a party

aviona's avatar

Think about about some of the debates that have broken out online. Think about them in person…drunk.

TheHaight's avatar

hellz yeah!

essieness's avatar

@taosan Dude I feel ya!

casheroo's avatar

@aviona how old are you??

asmonet's avatar

I will so come dressed in Elizabethan clothes and a tiara, just watch me.

And I shall carry a magnifying glass in case I need to hunt Zombies.

essieness's avatar

@aviona Security, check.

Dr_C's avatar

@aviona we’ll get some of the bigger jellies to help out as “in person” moderators (aka bouncers) lol… i’ll volunteer! i’m 6’8”

aviona's avatar

Now go look at the questions I’ve asked.

TaoSan's avatar

@essie

This Jaeger is for you! Cheers dear

aviona's avatar

Naw. I’m 20 on the 3rd.

asmonet's avatar

happy early birthday!

Allie's avatar

This might have been a better question for the chat room.

aviona's avatar

Sarcasm does not work here casheroo is right.

casheroo's avatar

yes, happy early birthday. i thought from the way you talked of things, you were older, like you’d been in a relationship for soo long

aviona's avatar

Yeah seriously @Allie. WE ARE ALL HERE RIGHT NOW. HOW TRIPPY IS THAT?!

asmonet's avatar

@Allie: aw, c’mon, mom. ;)

essieness's avatar

I’m sorry Allie… Please don’t mod me :(

casheroo's avatar

i ruined the chatroom by mentioning constipation. hahaha

asmonet's avatar

^Epic Win.

augustlan's avatar

Allie and I are being bad mods again!

asmonet's avatar

Bad mods? Or, awesome jellies?

TaoSan's avatar

@augustian

You’re kidding, right?

Dr_C's avatar

Awesome jellies for sure

Allie's avatar

Seriously, the room is dead. Come keep me company.
Edit: And Dr_C is in!!! Yeah!! Who is next?

aviona's avatar

Everyone just whisper

TaoSan's avatar

@allie

Can’t. iPhone :(

essieness's avatar

Me too. The iPhone thing.

Allie's avatar

@asmonet You have no excuse. Get your ass in there.

aviona's avatar

shhh you’re gonna get us cauuuuught!

augustlan's avatar

Heading over to chat right now.

TaoSan's avatar

For what it’s worth, I’d invite y’all to a round if you were here now

shilolo's avatar

Bad mods will need a spanking!

Allie's avatar

@TaoSan I can be there in a few hours. I will speed.
Edit: Oh no! Hazmat mod! Run!

Kevisaurus's avatar

That would not appeal to me at all.

elijah's avatar

@TaoSan @essieness You can go to the chat from your iPhone. I do. It just moves slow sometimes.

TaoSan's avatar

@Elijah

Wooot! You’re right! Lurve. It does work

augustlan's avatar

@shilolo Promises, promises.

lemsteve's avatar

Hookers and Black jack…let’s go!

Dog's avatar

Sounds like fun!

shrubbery's avatar

I would fly across the world to go to a fluther party if I had enough notice (a year or so to save up :P)

asmonet's avatar

I’m glad I got this silliness before the dentist confiscates pieces of my face.
I’m gonna be thinking about spanking, zombies, hazmat suits, pancakes, Allie dressed as a pink pixelated cube and Nancy Drew when they put me out.

Fantastic!

dynamicduo's avatar

I’m really torn about this.

I have taken strides to not link this persona with my actual identity, thus going to a Fluther convention would likely remove a lot of this effort.

However I could still go and just identify myself as dynamicduo, but that makes for a bit of an awkward conversation, would it not?

Maybe I prefer only existing via my words. I’m not really sure.

Mr_M's avatar

I’d be HAPPY to meet you in your shower!!!

KatawaGrey's avatar

Man, this sounds awesome! Since I don’t drink, I reserve the right to take funny pipctures of the rest of you!

asmonet's avatar

@dynamicduo: But we’re gonna cosplay as our avatars, a batman mask solves the problem!

Dr_C's avatar

@asmonet so i need to go dressed as my dog? can’t i just bring him along?

asmonet's avatar

You can bring him as far as I’m concerned, but I don’t know about the convention center. :)

KatawaGrey's avatar

@Dr_C: Bring your dog!!! That would be awesome!

dynamicduo's avatar

@asmonet – that’s better then…. but I’d be hard pressed to successfully cosplay Adam West as 60s Batman! Then again, I like a challenge…

asmonet's avatar

Are you kidding? All you have to do is act ridiculous and you’ll be good to go, try and carry a large fake bomb if possible. :)

dynamicduo's avatar

I’ll bring a rope and a portable apartment exterior and take pictures of anyone who wants to star in a cameo :D

That would actually be the funniest halloween costume ever, I think.

elijah's avatar

@dynamicduo I always thought your avatar was some kind of weird smiling dolphin.

dynamicduo's avatar

@elijahsuicide I love it! That’s a great interpretation!

elijah's avatar

Well I also thought shilolo was wearing a shark hat so I guess my skills of observation are weak!

KatawaGrey's avatar

@elijahsuicide: Do you like aquatic life?

elijah's avatar

@KatawaGrey haha I guess I do!

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

Will there be pancakes?

asmonet's avatar

I think if there’s a con a complimentary pancake breakfast is in order. :D

KatawaGrey's avatar

And complimentary cakes as well.

elijah's avatar

Oh my goodness complimentary pancakes?!
Sign me up!

KatawaGrey's avatar

Hehe, and there will be a tank filled with dolphins and sharks!

elijah's avatar

Tee hee!

Dr_C's avatar

pancakes for all…. with seconds… and thirds…
fuckt it… multiple pancakes!

elijah's avatar

We better cover the floor with plastic sheets.

KatawaGrey's avatar

And syrup…

Allie's avatar

I love honey.

Dr_C's avatar

mmmmmmmmmm honey…
drools

asmonet's avatar

God damn.

We’re disgusting perverts.

All of us.

I love it.

TaoSan's avatar

So we gotta do the the whole thing in Amsterdam then, I guess?

asmonet's avatar

Well, we better get going, Amsterdam is changing, didn’t you hear?

TaoSan's avatar

Eeouw, they break everything :/

asmonet's avatar

Yes, they do. :(
