First of all let me give full credit for this idea to board member Chicken Boo.
A followup convention seemes unlikely in the near future. A full-blown convention with celebrities and with events. But one of the best things about the recent convention was just meeting and hanging out with fellow fans.
So that is our idea. A Fan Reunion. Picking a time and place and meeting up again. Keeping costs down is the key. So there would be no formal events. We could all stay at the same hotel. Sight-see together in the chosen city. hang out in each others rooms and watch QL episodes. We could even plan a party at restaurant. Who's to stop us from showing up in costumes! I am up for that!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Consider it a "Convention without the Convention". Obviously this idea will not appeal to everyone. For some its understandable that seeing actors is part of the justification for spending the money for a trip like this. That's fine. Part of the plan is to kept this as small and manageable as possible.
Now if any of the cast or crew of the show became aware of this event and wanted to join us - That would be an added bonus! But that is not the expectation here.
We are thinking sometime in the next 2 years. Location will be determined by committed travelers. My thinking is to pick a fun city with a lot of stuff to see and do. Or the other way is to pick a centrally located site to be convenient to as many as possible. Yes that means in the United States. Any overseas fans are more than welcome to come!!!! In fact that is the main reason I think we should pick a city other than Los Angeles. To give our international friends a new city to explore and added reason to join us.
Clearly this is in the earliest planning stages. We are looking for any interest and feedback anyone has.
If Chicken Boo wants to add to or correct anything I have written she can. She is the Boss! I am just her Public Relations Guy! :bow![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
