No, I'm not serious, but we're getting self-referential enough here that I just want to be the first to suggest it.

       aw, no way!! I am incredulous. Yeah, but you certainly were not the first one to think it. :) I was in the middle of posting this exact thing this morning, Halfcon, August 11th, and decided against it. Great minds run the same channels, eh Peter? hahaha...

oh, wait... I was serious... Well, I'm off then! It's another round of HBDetox for me!

       It would have be held in Neo-Idaho and we would have to apologise to all the penguins for their new fascist overlords.

Aristotle, Apr 11 2001
  

       Don't bring your cell phone. It'll be useless there.

       My farm, Memorial Day Weekend (May 26-27-28 for those non-Americans). Bring your tents, volleyball nets, cricket sticks (or whatever they use for that game...), rugby stuff (again, I'm clueless). I'll make custard pies for dessert. I also expect guitars around the campfire...somebody here has to know how to play.

Susen, Apr 11 2001
  

       As long as you provide the bats and dice for the American football.

PeterSealy, Apr 11 2001
  

       i'll bring the guitar *and* the harmonica!

will you be giving free horsey-rides susen?


mihali, Apr 11 2001
  

       Trail rides are definitely on the agenda.....anyone want to take a TB racehorse around the track at 33 mph?

Susen, Apr 11 2001
  

       ...i prefer 33 & 1/3 myself (they still make them too.)

iuvare, Apr 11 2001
  

       I propose a satellite linkup with Australia and the UK ... unless some well-heeled HalfBaker is willing to cover airfare for such charter posters as UnaBubba and Aristotle.

Host a convention without our cherished luminaries? Unthinkable. Someone's got to correct our grammar, regale us with arcane trivia, and chair all discussions of custard fanaticism, yes?

       I could probably cross the Atlantic on a frequent traveller scheme I have no small amount of points with. I nearly went to New York with my wife a while back but the hotel would have bankrupted us. If I was to travel to America on leisure my goal would be to go to a role-playing convention that features Professor M.A.R. Barker, father of modern role-playing and a vertiable modern day Tolkien. He is quite venerable and there might not be too many opportunities.

Aristotle, Apr 17 2001
  

       With a live webcam link for those of us who just can't make it?

angel, Apr 25 2001
  

       I'll take care of the pyrotechnics. Aaahhhh, fire.

AfroAssault, May 03 2001
  

       Brits have to bring at least one f&m-infected cow apiece for AA to incinerate.

UnaBubba, May 03 2001
  

       not to my farm they don't (although horses are immune, my neighbor has beef cattle....)

Susen, May 04 2001
  

       <Midwest drawl> You'll find they're wrapped in plastic</Midwest drawl>

UnaBubba, May 04 2001
  

       And packed in custard, probably.

StarChaser, May 05 2001
  

       Laura Palmer was packed in custard?

UnaBubba, May 05 2001
  

       I'd like to let everyone know that I'm VERY disappointed that no one showed up last weekend. I had a stall ready for Peter and egnor to share (thanks for the idea, UB ;-) and a really bizarre weekend of activities planned..... now what do I do with all of these custard pies???

Susen, May 30 2001
  

       There's nothing conventional about halfbakers.

waugsqueke, May 30 2001
  

       Can I have one of those pies?

hippo, Jun 07 2001
  

       We only made it halfway.

PotatoStew, Jun 07 2001
  

       I had half a mind to turn up anyway.
