Al Fest: Fan Convention August 1st in SoCal

[Orthography Enthusiast]

The Unusual Albert Convention.

Hey, it was good enough for BNL, and it doesn't use ANY PART of Al's name.

I loved that clip.

Vikki?

You'll have to share that clip with me, Helen and Patti--I'm not remembering it.

It's just a matter of taste here, people. I'll give you Jay's exact words:

"we generally have a negative knee-jerk reaction to using variations on "weird" - they usually feel silly and corny. I still like AlFest."

Fair enough

[algonacchick]

Thanks for sharing that, Vikki. I understand.

Here is the BNL/Al clip. That is where Helen got the "Unusual Albert" name. hehe!

Let's not call it anything. No one can complain about that.

[like_im_27again]

HA-I forgot about that clip, and didn't recognize BNL--sorry, I have a little trouble with acronyms--a mental block because I don't usually care for their use, particularly with the spoken word. Which, I'm sure, is one of the reasons why names like WAYcon are not going to fly with me. I don't even use "WOWAY" when I'm speaking. I say the whole long name. That's just me.

So, yeah, Jon--let's just all refer to it as a fan convention. Naw, I'm just kidding. We have some good names left. Now we just need to settle on one. Remember to get your suggestions in by midnight this Saturday night. I'll pick a few finalists and then there will be a poll.

It's okay--No matter what we call this thing, it's going to be great, great FUN!

I just wish so much that I can come up with some scheme to get there

[TMBJon]

Are we allowed to use variations on Yankovic or is that off limits too?

[weird_el]

If Jay likes AlFest, that may be our best choice.
