a-m-v.org Convention

[Flint the Dwarf]

Yeah... something like this would be great but extremely hard to do. Sure I'd put up some money for it. Once I get money. And since our members are really quite spread out, I believe that it would have to change location each year. I'd love to have it in Chicago cuz then I could make it every year but I only know of, like, two other people that live near there.

And exclusive to a-m-v.org? That'd be cool because we could meet each other. But how many people would really go? I'd definately go assuming I had the transportation and money but some people I'm sure don't really care about going to cons in the first place.

I hate to face the reality of it but... I don't think it's likely to happen.

Or the location could be changed each year (like the olympics and other similar events)

Like the Gargoyles converntion "The Gathering"

Interesting idea, but I can tell you right away, it costs $1000-3000 to use a hotel as a convention center. We would need a place that would have the capacity for a big screen and such so a hotel or con center would be required. That is not even including money for individual hotel rooms for the workers or con attendees.
The way most cons put back is through registration and dealers. You'd have to have both of those. I don't think dealers would be interested in coming and paying if you were limiting the crowd down to only people here.

But if you go and win a mutli state lottery or something and can't find anything else to spend it all on, I'm sure we wouldn't mind if you sponsored an annual a-m-v.org convention.

Well there could be different tpe of dealers then dealers on a regular con. You could include PC dealers since most people could be looking to upgrade there PC and there could be several anime dealers (source footage ^_^). There's potential...

Figure out a way to tap the rabid DBZ fanboy crowd. You'll get more money than you know what to do with.
