I'd like to go on record as the first person who is anti-"Fesitv-AL." Call me crazy, but I'm a little tired of all the "Al"-based puns. There are plenty of other funny parts of Al's name.
I like Yankfest or Yankofest a lot more than Festiv-AL. I just think it doesn't convey immediately to the casual observer exactly what this is supposed to be. There are a ton of Als in the world, but Yanko's are few and far between...

Yeah, I have to agree that conveying what it is quickly to the casual observer is important. That's one of the reasons why "Weird Al-topia Fanfest 2009" (okay, so it's a bit long) is my favorite suggestion so far. I know, there's still an Al-based pun in there, but it's a good one!
Al-topia, our own weird little paradise...

So are you planning to take out ads in newspapers, etc. to get Al fans in the public at large to attend this thing, or will it have to be a word of mouth through this forum and other similar venues type of thing?

I kinda like the sound of 'Yanko-Con' myself.

I still like YankoviCon. Pretty clear.

Pretty clear.
If you like things that are clear, how about TranslucentCon?

Alas, poor Louie! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, with a most unfortunate affinity for self-poisoning by means of lead.

It sounds like it has "convict" in it.
