The Unusual Albert Convention.

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

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."

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.

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. :rolleyes: 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 :(

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

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