Sarah Connor Con 2011
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

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.

Yeah, maybe I should even finish the Comicals... before then :P

Can they actually do anything legally about fans holding a con that celebrates the show? I wouldn't think so.

Oh damn, I forgot about you not liking flying. I did pretty good on my flight to California and back for Comic Con, but I still don't know if I could do a flight over the ocean. I'm already nervous about flying to Atlanta in Sept. heh.

You are totally right. You absolutely should ;-)

All I know is they tried with the XF one, but then the show was a huge commercial cash-cow for them at the time and they were terribly possessive! I think it would depend on how big the thing got. They get a whiff of someone making a potential profit off of it and they might well come around stamping their tiny feet.

Sad but true; I am not very brave.
