World of Weird Al Yankovic

This doesn't have to be a HUGE event either. It doesn't have to be exactly like AlFest '09. Living where I do, my going isn't a possibility more than likely although I would be willing to do some helping(what I could from home).

as i was saying, NO con has made money or even got out of the red that i know of, and if u want the guys there u have to do it in a non touring yr, and not in july or aug, thats when Al and family go to hawaii for vacation, if u want to talk to ppl who have done rocky cons to see how they go about it, i can give u FB friends of mine

I definetly would try to go. I had a bad Lupus flare-up in 2009, so I couldn't make the last one.

Southern California always works best for me. Most of my family is in So Cal and I could manage a quick visit with them if it's there.

If it's not in So Cal, I can fly elsewhere and maybe go somewhere I've never been And, of course, it would be great to meet everyone in person!

Another idea is that we just make it more like a reunion....where we can break it up by region if we want and just have a small gathering in each area....

Count me in as interested! I can't guarantee it without knowing more details, of course, but I've never been to an Al convention before and it's something that I'd like to do. I am fine with wherever people want to hold it. And I'd be willing help with something. I like the end-of-the-world theme... we could have some real fun with that...

Small gatherings are cool too. I just wanna meet other fans.

We have small gatherings all the time, they're called concerts

I would go if their were a special set or two. If Al and the guys woudn't be attending I wouldn't possibly attend since I'd be flying from Canada and it just wouldn't be worth it.

I probably can't travel outside of my tri-state area for this... but things could change.

I'm definitely interested, though!

If convenience for you is the top priority, Las Vegas should be the location. If likelihood of getting Al, the band, or other celebrities to attend is the top priority, then the closer to Los Angeles the better.

I guess we just have to figure out which is most important.

I'd say a show is pretty key, especially to get more and more fans to go. Somewhere in LA would probably be best for the band. Obviously I'd rather not have to travel across the world to see it so personally it would be great to see it somewhere in NY or something but I would think LA would get the most people.
