Alright so as much as Michelle has protested against one, I am going to legit start planning for a DaisyCon for the third anniversary of the stream in October of this year. It will most likely be held in Michigan because of the stream being based out of there and it's a better central point then where I am.
For what the con is, there will be games, there will be food, and I am going to try my hardest to get some live entertainment going. I'll need to have a long conversation with him but I'm going to try and finagle brentalfloss' appearance. If only to play a few songs then peace out.
Now I know a lot of you are saying "BUT SCYTHE! I CAN'T AFFORD TO TRAVEL OUT THERE!" And while, yes, that's a problem, I'm going to see what I can do about that. This con happening for all of us is incredibly important for me because if anyone that's been to a con knows, it's a lot of fun, a lot of togetherness, and it'll be cool if we all could finally hang out in person.
The stream has been a very important part of my life for almost three years now and it's really important to me that I can physically show Michelle how important she is to me and to the rest of the stream.
Right now, I'm in the earliest stages of planning. The first thing is finding a suitable venue to hold this in. I'm thinking a place big enough to accommodate 30 or so people would do. Then I'm going to be planning out the day's activities which will involve figuring out how many game systems we'll need and controllers, seeing what I can do for food, alcohol for the childish adults, and that long talk with brentalfloss of course.
Anyone that has concerns about being able to come, mind you this is still six months away if everything goes smoothly so you have time to save money if you can. If you don't think you can make up the cash for a bus or train, let me know and I'll add you to a special list. If you have concerns about parents, let me know, I'll gladly talk with them, try to quell their worries and solve problems where I can.
For those overseas, I'm sorry, but I do not think I can help you get over here. If you can make it that's great but between paying for the majority of the con's expenses and the probably many bus/train tickets, I don't think I could possibly put you up for a plane ticket.
For most of you, coming to the con will mean an overnight stay if not a little longer. I'll try and think of something. Maybe we can turn the con into a giant sleepover party if the venue is okay with us doing that, but we'll most likely have you on a bus/train home the next day.
If ANYONE can help in anyway, ideas, resources, or money, PLEASE do contact me so that I can use it to make the con just a wonderful experience for everyone. Michelle may think that it'll never happen or that no one will show up, but I aim to prove her wrong with this and probably get her bawling like a baby by the end of the night.
