I understand we get bright yellow shirts.

Cool.

Indeed!

I plan on wearing mine proudly.

This is why nobody votes for us. We're waaaaay too easily entertained, and left all our pretentiousness in our other pants.

[megiddo-lj.livejournal.com]

Well, we're old. cranky. need pie (or beer.)...

I plan on wearing mine while throwing popcorn at Dragon, Penguin & Damien from the cheap seats while they egowank at the Whither Convergence panel they didn't invite us to.

[spacekadt.livejournal.com]

Pictures and/or video of said heckling. Please?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

oh fuck yes.

i don't understand where they get off, snubbing the c*b*l, and claiming any sort of ascendancy.

[spacekadt.livejournal.com]

They're gother-than-thou! That panel alone *almost* makes me want to go to Portland. "So, you're saying that the most effective way to run a convergence is to completely ignore the planning for your event when you're less than a month out just so you can flame and annoy the hell out of the people that *gave* you this event?"

Shit, at this point before C9, I barely had time to go to work so I could earn my paycheck, much less alienate alt.gothic

That panel alone *almost* makes me want to go to Portland.

Ditto, if i didn't already have much better things to do.

I would probably need a police escort out... either to protect me, or to drag my ass to jail, because I would have a big bucket of not-very-nice to share.

We were taking bets on that last night, actually.

I'm torn between being sorry that I'm going and being amused at the OMGZ!!11!! Drama on teh INTERNETZZZ!!1111 that this is producing.

[kat1031.livejournal.com]

That's sorta what I'm thinking.

I knew Portland was going to make a mess of this, and I'm sad to say that I was apparantly right.

At least the nonsense on a.g has provided endless amusement for the folks in Vegas.

They can't be gother-than-thou, because they have not reached the nirvana/zen/nihilistic state of goth where one realizes that day glow yellow is the new black, Hawaiian shirts represent true angst and Jimmy Buffet is a prophet.

If you try to ding a ding dang, my dang a long leeng long, we're gonna have to have an intervention.

...I think I found his lost shaker of salt.

Enlightenment!

[a-green-macaw.livejournal.com]

So thats why my hotrod has sails!

[megiddo-lj.livejournal.com]

I like how they termed it "our favorite dark-clad gathering"

Alright. That does it. The Ybor committee is OFFICIALLY adopting day-glo yellow as our C14 gear. Should we be chosen, etc. etc.

[spacekadt.livejournal.com]

Day-glo yellow C14 t-shirts? I mean... if you're gonna jump the shark anyway... ;)

[etcet.livejournal.com]

in hawaiian shirts.

[spacekadt.livejournal.com]

With the kegger contingent being what it is, this is something I can picture *entirely* too easily.

It scares me... and I can't wait!

[scar4711.livejournal.com]

hawaiian shirts with the dayglo underneath! :)

[tylorael.livejournal.com]

You need a banner of the Kegger contingent to give out.

[spacekadt.livejournal.com]

I'm working on this... my co-worker has some pretty mad PS skillz and is totally amused by my 2 minute recap of all this drama. Hopefully he'll have a fun banner for me in the morning. :)

[megiddo-lj.livejournal.com]

awww HELL yeah! I can get that badboy up on the Ybor bidsite in a hurry.

[spacekadt.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure you get a copy of it as soon as I do :)

I told him to go with the cheesy factor times 10. It will say something about "kegger contingent" - I put the idea of gothy fonts/day glow yellow text/dripping blood (god I hope he doesn't use all of those) so I have NO idea what we're going to get... but it should be good.

[eve2007.livejournal.com]

Yellow is always a fun, and easily eye-straining color.

[arcsine.livejournal.com]

Is this a downgrade from the Wild Turkey Party?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

this is an election we might win!

[arcsine.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what it is, but the Everclear Coalition will CRUSH JOOOOOO!!!

[etcet.livejournal.com]

it's a disparaging term being bandied about by the shitstick chairing the C13 bid in portland, aimed at those of us who don't want an over-produced and marketed-to-the-world crapfest as convergence.

[arcsine.livejournal.com]

Y'all usenet folks are weird. Heh.
