So far California is winning, so does this mean California will be our first state? How about getting authors to sign during these conventions guys?


message 2: by (S) (new)

(S) Yes! Nobuyuki Anzai get her she drew mar!


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

Well.. considering that Nobuyuki Anza (though awesome and cute) lives in Japan.. I doubt we'll get him to come to sign for us.


message 4: by (S) (new)

(S) yeah..... oh well, if were lucky!

message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

.... BACK TO THE CONVERSATION

I was thinking that (of course we wouldn't be able to do big time authors) but we could find some goodreads authors willing to do the convention.

>:(

I say just let goodreads deal with it!


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

So you create a group then do nothing to be pro-active about it?


message 15: by (S) (new)

(S) umm maybe a the editiors or staff?

Tittle: GOODREADS needs to have a convention NOT We need to have a convention for goodreads members.

I like Lady Gaga. I respect the fact that she's a freak!

youtube just had there 1st ever VidCon, and youtube didn't organize it. over 100,000 people went! i'm not saying we'll have that many, but if we do nothing it's not gonna happen


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah! Actually I REALLY REALLY REALLY wished I could have gone to vid-con, but no money.. but that's what I heard.. and exactly AJ! You need to be pro-active if you actually want this to be put together.

thats not the purposed of the group..it's like a petition. Sign it (join) and send to company (email or whatever to goodreads)


message 22: by (S) (new)

(S) yeah! I wanna help!


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

But online petitions do nothing, it's a real waste of time, if you want something done you have to do it yourself. I'm willing to help, I'm coming back to Missouri soon (hopefully to move back) and I'll help with whatever I can.


message 24: by (S) (new)

(S) maybe... But i'd go if it had anything to do with Mar!! Or anything with manga! I think we should get an editor of MAr!


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

S,

Manga is technically speaking a comic, but there will most likely be a manga part of the convention, considering that 3/4 of the people now a days who read are manga otakus.


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

yeah, it's partially a petition, but it's more:

we want a convention to meet up with ___ and ____ we think the best location is _____ cost to rent space and ___ is from ___ to _____


that kind of stuff.


message 27: by (S) (new)

(S) YES MANGA IS INVOLED (i knew it would be, but felt like asking anyway) LETS DO THIS THING!


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay, and thank you Bendomolena!!!, that sums this all up very nicely.. oh, we also need to find a very smart and responsible person to be the one to bring this up to the goodreads staff. If the wrong person brings it up it just might not work.


message 29: by (S) (new)

(S) i would be the wrong person, oh well

message 34: by (S) (new)

(S) huh? i dont get it..


message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

Zoey is saying we were saying it wrong.

BUT they can be said either way! HA!

Veto'd = vetoed

Veto-ing = vetoing


message 36: by (S) (new)

(S) oh!


message 37: by Carson (new)

Carson T (carsont) O.O *backs away slowly....* jk, Ummmm I can't really go to California, it's on the whole other side of the country from me. So I'll just wait til the next one.


message 38: by (S) (new)

(S) me niether but i could work enough to get the money


message 39: by Jenn (new)

Jenn Yeah, I couldnt go to a CA one either. I dont alot of people would be able to...


message 40: by Jess (new)

Jess (ju5t4n3rd) In the middle with a cool city like St. Louis or Chicago!


message 41: by (S) (new)

(S) wherever.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

St. Louis would be a very nice place to have it. There's this nice Marriot hotel in St Louis that has a gorgeous room for meetings. I could look the price it would be to book. We'd have to have maybe a dozen persons that go early and get the room set up (move tables out of way, put stuff together, etc.). It could be very fun!


message 43: by (S) (new)

(S) St. Louis is a nice place, i liked it there.


message 44: by Jess (new)

Jess (ju5t4n3rd) I like the idea of St. Louis. And there's a six flags there!!!!


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

The question is though: How many goodreads members would be willing to travel to St. Louis?


message 46: by Jess (new)

Jess (ju5t4n3rd) I would.


message 47: by (S) (new)

(S) me, the us is cool


message 48: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm going to start a poll on this...

message 50: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, since I live in Missouri, St. Louis wouldn't be so hard to get to.
