Ok random, yes, but I think the logo for the SlayAlive convention should be the twilight symbol.

How bout contests of some kind? Like episode analysis, customs art, creative Buffy related projects (like the Slayalive comics), Buffy trivia, etc.
And we could have prizes of some kind.

We'd need to find a way to get prizes. And I could definitly see a customs contest. And the trivia has been thought of. I don't quite understand the episode analysis and how that could be made into a contest.

I don't know...some people like going academic with watching Buffy. Maybe that's not very Slayalive though. You know like Slayage papers that analyze Buffy.

Yeah, but it'd be hard to get enough prizes for all that.

Well, I am only 50% sure...it all depends on location and date for me, as I'll be attending several scholarly conventions in October and November (one where I may get to present something on Buffy...everybody keep their fingers crossed). My information just in case:

I am very interested in this. None of my friends watch Buffy or Angel so i don't really have anyone to talk to about it, which is why I joined slayalive!!! My brother has just recently finished watching Buffy/Angel but he's not really hardcore into the series as most of us here are. He liked the show but still, anyway I'm from Scotland, Edinburgh so obviously I can't go but if I'm ever on holiday near any of these places I suppose I could swing by....OR anyone else from Edinburgh could meet up. I think it would be fantastic, if anyone esle is interested ot think it'd be fun to have a Scotland meet up for Buffy/Angel fans send me a pm and we can get this rolling!!

Whedon Fan, you should check out Meetup.com. IDK if it works outside the US, but if it does I think it could be very helpful!

emmie:Carpooling is definitely an option, but it depends on where I'm at during that time of the year. I'm going to school in NC, so I might have gone home for a couple weeks, in which case, I'll be in MD. But I can still swing into VA to meet you at Wyndam's!!! lol
I think OMWF karoke is a GREAT idea. That would be something really fun to particpate in.
I think it would be a good idea to have a fan panel. And it doesn't have to be like "famous fans" or "important online fans" ala the moderators of this board or someone else (not that that wouldn't be cool), but just regular fans getting up there and proclaiming their love for Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Jossverse. Not everyone would be able to participate, there'd have to be some kind of something to pick people. Maybe a random draw. Or maybe you could request those interested to send you an essay on why they love Buffy etc. Or those that you draw randomly could send you an essay about something Jossverse-y and then you could pick from there. I dunno.
Another idea that was inspired by someone in the ChatBox is to take a character (or several) from each series and play an episode from each season that most highlights their character development. Wesley was brought up for Angel. Willow or Anya could work for Buffy.

Tim - since it will likely be held in Chicago, it will be too far away for me. However, I would like to donate prizes. PM me later and let me know how we can coordinate this in 2009.

Okay, summer is more plausible for me, especially June/July...because I'll have my degree finished by then and will be floating until I move and start my PhD program.

I think we could randomly choose from people who attend who are interested in speaking their love, and then those who can't attend can send in essays to my PM inbox and we can have the mods vote on our favorite ones which can then be read at the event. Thanks again for this idea! IDK what episodes we'd want to pick for that. LOL Tim - since it will likely be held in Chicago, it will be too far away for me. However, I would like to donate prizes.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
FOX has a copyright litigation over BtVS, which has been pointed out by Slayathon.com, whose charitable event will now only feature Angel. Therefore, we will most likely not be allowed to show any episodes of BtVS. This will not prevent us from showing AtS, which is still allowed by FOX, and it shouldn't prevent us from doing the OMWF Karaoke to the soundtrack.
I am going to see about getting more info about the litigations FOX has (I hope that is the right word) to see if there are any ways around it. I doubt there is, but I'm hoping maybe if we get less than a certain number of people at the event then we can still play it.
