Over at
savethescc, we've talked off and on for several months about organizing a TSCC con. The Freaking Big Push took priority, though, and we're now trying to get more going on Push 2: The Resurrection. So any con talk is still saved for later, but we all really want to plan one

I've never been to a con, so I'm not sure what would be expected. However, it would be nice to have QnA with any of the actors there, lead or supporting, writers, Mr Friedman, cosplay contest?, tables for vendors, artist, and pancakes
I've seen talent shows at these things too on youtube. Interpretive dances are always a bonus at any event, right?

Hee. Sometimes a strong desire to be someplace can get you on a plane when you fear flying. That's how I flew from east coast to west last year... Comic Con!

I'm still pretty new to cons myself. I've been to the biggie, Comic Con San Diego and also to Dragon*Con. but I've only been to one small con and I was only there for a couple hours. The typical things are panels/Q&As, autographs/photo ops, social activities and vendors. So you're already thinking along the right lines.
and pancakes
Pancakes! Yes. That was actually an idea we'd talked about before - a pancake breakfast or pancake cook-off contest.
cosplay contest?
Y'know, I don't think a con can exist without costumes, even if it's a con for a show like TSCC where everyone looks pretty normal.
talent showsMaybe people performing scenes? That could be fun. Or maybe parodies of scenes or musical renditions of scenes ( ... )

You should definitely get the Comicals blown up for an overhead projector...
The biggest obstacle tends to be the likes of Fox and WB getting pissy and possessive about the show (y'know, despite the fact they axed it) and not wanting anyone daring to make profit from it (even though fan things tend not to be profit making ventures anyways.) Way back in my XF days, we held a fan con in Manchester, it was great fun but the main organisers were threatened with legal action by Fox *shrugs* we did it anyways and no-one got sued!
I remember the screening room with a highly unofficial (read: illegal) gag tape being very popular, but then TXF gag tapes were a thing of beauty, and not the sanitised for DVD drek that tends to be issued these days! Would be good to make a reel of all the fan vids, interviews, campaign vids and behind the scenes stuff.
I think you should definitely have it in Manchester then I can come ;-)

Plain, banana, blueberry, chocolate chip, pure Maple Syrup, etc.
And please don't mention tossing food. It's been a rough couple of days with a stomach virus. My chest and back are still sore from the muscles I pulled tossing a chicken dinner.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

We're still debating whether we got this from our home-cooked chicken (food poisoning), a weekend restaurant meal, or possibly from weapon-sharing last week at archery class.
Who knew Purell should be part of weapons cleaning?
Much better, Thanks.

Any interest in including a real firing range in the venues?

I'm imagining anything from a few dozen, like the recumbent cycling "convention" I attended, to a few hundred, like a Star Trek: OS mini-convention at UConn around 1980. With the internet as an organizing tool, I guess it could be something larger.
How many attendees might you expect?
