Solscud007 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Well the problem is that Im in pittsburgh now. and no concievable venue. I was jsut spitballing to have it around Comic Con time. yeah yeah yeah there are logistical issues involved. Liek getting our collections and crap. But I figure who cares. what have we not seen in the past 5 cons that I have hosted? I figure worst case there will be less MWCon and more Comic con!!!! getting people to show up is better I think. Liek have a dinner and jsut talk macross and other stuff. what do you think? of course i will make a shirt. Unless someone else wants to host this year's con. I know last year we were desperate so we used Phatslappy's house. But I for one would like to steer clear of that type of get together. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 Well the problem is that Im in pittsburgh now. Maybe it's time for MWCon East Coast style! Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I think attendence must be, at least, in the double digits before you can classify it a convention Quote
Solscud007 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Maybe it's time for MWCon East Coast style! Well in regards to that. I was thinking we could organize something for otacon or whatever it is called here. Quote
KiriK Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 you know... since Nick isn't on the west coast to plan everything out.... i'd be interested in taking a shot at organizing the Con.... I'm not sure exactly what people would like to have at MW Con.... but we could plan out some stuff....I'd need some help with this... In terms of Location, i might be able to host it at my workplace if it was on a Sunday.... i have access to a decent sized conference room, kitchen, and a smaller room we could put displays up or watch movies in.... dont' know how comfy it'd be since there's just chairs and tables but we could make it work.... haha... we could play Poker, Bang, Video Games, show off Customs, watch Macross, eat food, play poker.... talk about macross.... have some cosplayers... play some more poker...... eat some more.... anything else???

That's a great idea. And we can get your yung'uns to be hostesses... Quote
orguss01 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) So you from around the Orange County area kiririth ..?? Your idea sounds great..what kinda location you talking? a hospital confrence room?confrence room at a paper company? (Dundler Mifflin love The Office haaa) Edited February 9, 2007 by orguss01 Quote
KiriK Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) That's a great idea. And we can get your yung'uns to be hostesses... haha.... if you'd want cute asian jailbait High School girlies serving us drinks.... I'd invte some of my youth to come if they're interested in Anime mecha and stuff... I work at the ARC in Long Beach. Our chapter has some conference rooms that i'd be able to reserve for events. I could say it's an event for my youth volunteers, and have some of them attend and it should be fine to use it. I'll check the schedule to see what dates are available around June/Comic Con/AX time.... We could start planning this now.... any suggestions or objections??? Edited February 16, 2007 by kiririth Quote
emajnthis Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Maybe it's time for MWCon East Coast style! You got my vote! You and I live pretty close, we'll have to get Solscud to drive down to DC or something Quote

EXO Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 kiririth's location isn pretty cool. They had 2 rooms with a kitchen in the middle. Plenty of tables and chairs. And if anyone got hurt, there's all the donated blood in the freezer. I recommend the B postitive cuz it looks like the O negatives were starting to curdle. Quote
KiriK Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Does anyone want to do another MW Con Poker Tourney??? Although i said in my 1st post that we could play Poker at the con.... that would be a side thing during the actual event.... i wouldn't be able to host an actual tournament at the Chapter so i'm saying if you wanted to organize a tourney... it'd have to be somewhere else.... Just to throw that out there.... Here are the dates that i have available to use my workplace... Sunday, June 10 Sunday, July 1 Sunday, July 8 Sunday, July 22 Sunday, July 29 Not many people have really replied or commented about being interested in a Con this year... Are people out there wanting to attend a MW Con in Long Beach, CA???? Quote

Are people out there wanting to attend a MW Con in Long Beach, CA???? well SDCC is the 26-29. So maybe the 22? Dont forget that those of us who apply early for SDCC get to go Wed. 25 for the Preview night. Quote
EXO Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 good luck finding a hotel at SDCC.... from what I heard they're all completely sold out already. you got 100,000 attendants and only under 30,000 rooms in san diego to rent out... Quote
Eternal_D Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 go for it kiririth, no jailbait girlies but you can bring those girls from college in your thread...dressed up in moon act minmay outfits this time as for the date, i usually don't know my schedule until a month prior so not gonna say much about it. just pick one and if i'm here, i'm here... I'm down to play poker...maybe we can play at phatslappy's again...and we can just play for cash right? i don't need to play for no stinking toys! Quote
EXO Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 You'll play for toys and you'll like it! Dammit! Quote
KiriK Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 ooooo... what could be the grand prize this year??? wonder when the SV-51 is scheduled for release..... haha... the poker tourney is used to pay for the food for the con and stuff... I'm thinking of having different areas we can display stuff, sell stuff, have the usual customs contest... food stuff.... continual macross episodes running on a projector..... maybe run some different Video game tourneys.... what else are people interested in??? Quote
yellowlightman Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I'd definately be interested in going to a MW Con this year, especially since last year I cut my attendance short due to Anime Expo. It's still pretty early, I'm guessing a lot of people just aren't ready to commit to attending, yet. Quote

It's still pretty early, I'm guessing a lot of people just aren't ready to commit to attending, yet. shame on them haha. They arent hard core enough !!!!!! haha j/k cmon what else is gonn go on? I say July 22. I will try to convince some of the east coasters here to go and then go to SDCC. Quote
bigkid24 Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, Kiririth has a good spot for holding the con. There are plenty of chairs and the rooms are freaking big which means things won't have to be so splintered as they were in past years. That means we should be able included more people in everything so that we don't have the one or two guys stuck guarding the customs. Quote
thesheep Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Well the problem is that Im in pittsburgh now. and no concievable venue.

I know last year we were desperate so we used Phatslappy's house. But I for one would like to steer clear of that type of get together. Why not come and have the meet up thing at Tekkoshocon? They have Mari confirmed as coming. They are also in Pittsburgh. Quote
KiriK Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Well.... Since several people think it's a good idea to hold to con at my work... i need to book the date and reserve it now and to make sure nothing else is going on that day.... I think July 22nd is also a good date to hold it since it's in the middle of the Con season but close enough for people like Nick to come out for this and SDCC Comic-Con..... So unless there's any objections, here's the information of the date and location of MW Con 2007 Date: Sunday, July 22nd, 2007 Location: LBARC - Long Beach, CA 90806 Time: 10am In order to not affiliate my workplace with MW Con, we will call the location LBARC. Since this is not an LBARC sponsored event, i have to maintain seperation and not use the full name of my workplace. Now that we have a date and place, we can start organizing the events of the Con... people can start planning to attend or not... details will be posted as soon as we come up with logistics.... SAVE THE DATE!!! JULY 22nd!!! Quote
HWR MKII Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 i may try to come this year. now im back in utah. i may even have the RC SV by then. Quote
HWR MKII Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 I dont want to rush this perfection Luke. Quote
Ishimaru Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Wouldn't it be better for West coast at least one last time? I mean cmon 25th anniversary, something special might happen ya know? I'm trying to get in contact with head of AX reps to do something special for Macross at AX this year. It may sound a long way off, but it never hurts to try, and it is its 25th anniversary, its never going to happen again so why not? Quote
