I should be able to come, and I may be able to lug my accordion along!

Dress up like a taco.. or a radio.
Then when everyone sees you they'll be like "
It's a radio!"
knowing my luck people would go: what are you?

A costume contest would give me a chance to put together the DTBS costume I've been pondering doing for Halloween but no one would get it: The microwave hat I found online and the Devo jumpsuit. At an Al convention, everyone would--or should--get it!
I couldn't resist--I went ahead and ordered the microwave hat. I figure if nothing else, I'll have something to wear for Halloween next year, with or without the devo jumpsuit.

I really wanna do this!!!!
But I'm in Northeast PA. I don't think I'll be able to come unless we visit my uncle in LA next year.

I would TOTALLY do that. That's awesome!
Stephen, I think you're already committed to wearing the cone bra, aren't you?
BTW, Alicia and I are totally on board for coming to the convention, whatever it is called. Al-topia? Or Weird Al-topia Fanfest 2009 to be more precise. (If Alapalooza is already taken)

No, no, the cone bra is when (if) Al hires me next tour for Like A Surgeon.

Weird AL-topia is a great one!
Keep the suggestions coming, everyone. ALapalooza's not going to happen. Jay discouraged it because using a name that Al has used previously implies to some people that Al is somehow involved with it. Disappointing, but understandable.

I like Al-topia too!
How about a silent auction to raise money for the Star Fund? Maybe Al and the band will be willing to sign a few things for it and maybe Aron and some of the other talented artists around here can donate some of their work.

Hmmm, Jay has a great point, I can understand where he's coming from, so we don't have people complaining about "where's Al?" sorta thing.
It seems we have come up with some pretty good names! AL-topia's on my top favorites so far...
A silent auction would be a nice way to raise money indeed! I'd so buy Aron's artwork, Ghia's, and anyone else who submitted Al artwork, it'd be great to see what everyone comes up with.
