Music Convention Survey

Originally posted by cee_m at Music Convention Survey

So, the thing that I have been really cagey and not talking about is actually this.

My two friends editorzon, sabrinagb, and I have been moving toward starting something fantastic. About a month ago I made a comment on twitter and facebook about musicians and record companies and that they should run cons the way that fandom runs cons so that you could have Q&A's with your favorite bands and be able to hang out and get photo ops etc but with bands instead of movie/tv stars. So because editorzon and sabrinagb are WOAH on my brain wave, we've decided to do just that. It's going to combine the awesome of going to conventions with the awesome of attending concerts. This first year we are looking to have a 100 - 200 person con in Los Angeles. We are looking for your input about how things should roll, what/who you want to see, etc. If you could fill out this short 14 question survey that would be AMAZING!

Even if you feel like this is not something you would be interested in would you please pass it along? We really need your input and info here. We'd like to make informed decisions while planning this convention.

I'd also like to take this moment to thank amaz0n_princess, affectingly, renenet, and deejay for all of their help in the pre-planning phases of this con. Your time and advice has helped us shape what we look to accomplish in this first year and beyond.

In Which I Am The Exact Opposite Of Cool, Part Deux

The local newspaper, 77Square, reviewed the Bob's Burgers event that I went to last week and I got a mention...in the same paragraph as a the bathroom guy.

Another woman rambled endlessly about her love of every credit listed on Schaal’s IMDB page, never actually getting to an actual question but inspiring another great one-liner from Mirman. “I usually don’t offer this,” he said, “But when Kristen Schaal isn’t looking I’m going to cut off some of her hair and give it to you.”
