January 02, 2002 :: "BlogCon 2002"
Well-known bloggers KD, Hoopty, Batgrl, Faith, Jon, CC and Skits are planning the first annual BlogCon. Unlike SXSW or WebBuilder, BlogCon will have no classes or redeeming social value other than meeting and partying with other bloggers. It will be held in Las Vegas this July, and, as it is an informal meeting, will have no registration fee or cover charge.
But what if you can only afford to go to one or two conventions this year? To help you decide which con is right for you, I’ve made this handy chart. Simply decide which con has the features you need most.
well, actually, things have developed a bit further since... well, yesterday. look! grownup stuff! (we're still going to have fun though)
Well so much for my feeble attempts at being reclusive. And hey - we might discover some vague socially redeeming value, it could happen, even in Vegas. Some of us are even vaguely professional people. And we might even get all serious and next year have a panel discussion or a guest speaker. Or live 24 hr webcam. Or sack races. Who knows. I do know we're up for suggestions. Hey, there's no chocolate on that chart! Oh well, it goes along with caffeine anyhow! Thanks for the mention Dave!
What, no Viagra? In Vegas, one must have Viagra - apparently it's in some long buried City bylaw or something like that.
hmmph...I'm offended that I was not informed of this event earlier.
Relax Dan. It was just announced yesterday.
Oh fine, we'll have floppy disks. I didn't know that was a criteria. For those that want them I'll be handing out floppies. They may or may not have anything on them, I'm not going to go to the bother of formatting.
Does that mean we're supposed to wear underwear to the BlogCon? Guess I'll have to skip it, then.
I'll be standing at the door as the 'undie-check girl'. It's the least I can do....well, the ONLY thing I can do....what's a Fortran? Is that some kind of polyester blend?
No no no. That icon represents the complimentary 1,000 hour AOL disk/CD.
I notice that no one is wearing those underwear. Is that a hint?
I don't know about the rest of you, but it's not the underwear or floppy disks that worry me. I'm scared of the lawn gnomes.
Geekman...as much as I'd like to give you a no-gnome guarantee...I can't do that. However, I'm scared of the little buggars, too, and if I can overcome my fear...you can too! ;)
Damnit, why can't any of these things be further north? Austin and Las Vegas aren't the only places with lawn gnomes and undies gently floating in the breeze, you know.
Hey Dan - if you can't make it could you send Green Lantern? I have such a crush on him!
Dave? You going to be there? That will have to be my determining factor...
Green Lantern as a garden gnome? *Deborah looks around confusedly*
Who or where is this garden gnome you’re all referring to?
just how fucking stupid aere you Zilla? its a garden gnome!!!
[sigh] Did I forget to turn on the BITE ME light again? Sorry mofo. There. It’s on now.
That things a garden gnome? I thought it was a Trekkie.
It is. I was wondering how Spock got confused with a garden gnome myself. But what do I know? I aere fucking stupid.
I thought it was Christian Slater. Damn, I'm disappointed now.
I thought it was Dracula. A strict Freudian would have a lot to say about the way this chart is being interpreted. In the spirit of full-disclosure - I thought the underwear symbol meant "optional."
I was hoping everyone would have their own interpretation of how those icons applied. If it means underwear optional to you Skarlet, that’s a beautiful thing.
well, i thought that the way the underwear seemed to be hovering off the ground, that it symbolized the garments being shed, & "flying in the breeze". breezy feelings all around.
I thought it was Satan. The garden gnomes thing reminds me of that gag done in France last year, when some people stole garden gnomes and posed them... wish I could find the email about the Gnome Liberation Front!
couldn't a condom be a pacifier? if i remember my Coneheads, it can be chewing gum...
The icons are, left to right:
So it looks like at Blogcon I can skip my panties and see you half naked? I am sooooo there!
Keep dreaming kiddo.
:-( Don't call me that Zilla, or I won't send you any more um "presents".
Uh huh. :^p
what did that slut send you?
Excuse me, do I fucking KNOW YOU??? Didn't think so pencil-dick. What a shitty thing to say. You have no fucking idea what we are talking about!!!! (storms off - loads gun)

Sadly, I can't afford to go to the bathroom these days :), never mind fly all the way to Vegas. But it's a great idea, nevertheless.

So come for the floppy roulette and you may get some old pgp keys, buggy FORTRAN code, useless DOS shareware, or drivers for your 2400 baud modem.

I like your chart, Dave. :D

There is no protection from Lawn Gnomes. Especially in Vegas. Do you think the Kips Big Boy is really just an overgrown gnome in disguise?

not that i will be doing that sort of thing there. no sir. i'll be fully clothed & completely sober at all times.
kd :: 03 January, 2002 03:27 PM
Is that a pacifier or a condom? Not that I object to either one, really...

Condom * Underwear * Toilet Paper * Mr. Spock * Film * Diskette * Coffee
My personal interpretation of them is:
Good chance you’ll get some * See your friends half-nekkid * Decent Facilities * Geeks * Kodak Moments * You may learn something * Drug of choice freely available
