Who's up for a "Weird Al" convention in 2012?

He who's tired of Weird Al is tired of life.

The first-ever Weird Al convention to be held in Canada, like, ever? OMG, count me in for that! Until it actually happens, though, I'm still up for almost anywhere in the U.S...

Any future Al event will be anywhere that is most convenient to its host.

You know, whatever wrote:I'm thinking a Weird Al cruise. If Rick Springfield can have a cruise......... I mean how many people would possibly go on that?

Although hundreds of Weird Al fans on the open seas for days may be a bit much.
I don't know, after that whole Costa Concordia Cruise Ship Thing...

Sorry to derail the topic slightly, but... Why on earth do you type like that, Alexis_Adams27? With all the capital letters in front of words that most certainly don't need them?

It's difficult to read, and it surely can't be easy to type like that.
Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

I wonder if we can have an event to help create some more buzz about this whole Super Bowl thing and have it be near the book release too??

Who started that petition for the Super Bowl - was it someone here on this board?

I was very excited that it got featured on TMZ....if we can somehow tie that into the event maybe we could some sponsors or something to help pay for it?? Who knows....just pulling ideas out of thin air here ;)

Funny thing is - sometimes I do that too...for no reason at all...I think it is an automatic thing to keep reaching for that shift key for new words....cut her some slack ;)

We are all a bit WEIRD here!! I'm (not the only) the WEIRD ONE!!!!! LOL!!!

If you do end up doing something and want some shirt art, lemme know. I need warning ahead of time to make sure I have time to do it though :)
