Opinion: What About a TZ Convention?

[Kury Wagner]

This is a topic that constantly comes up: What about a TZ convention? Just a mass gathering of members, nice fun-time and all that.

Any opinions on this? Some people were saying NY would be a good idea, since sooo many TZers are from the East Coast. Or is there a lot of life in Alabama? o.O Tell me stuff! ... erm, stuff that's related to this, please.

[Kira]

Not so good in a crowd, plus meeting some of the guys here on TZ would just be aqward.

[Zach Logan]

I'd be up for it this summer.

[Master Moron]

I really don't think I'd want to meet the other members here. Nothing personal, it's just that chatting about cartoons online has nothing to do with whether or not you'd get along in real life. It's better to pick your friends based on what type of a person they are, not what interests they have.

[Ishtar]

It sounds like it could be fun. Maybe I'd go.

[Lord Dalek]

But what would you exactly do at a TZ Convention? Sell junk? Dress up as your favorite member? Tell anecdotes to large crowds that end with: "And when I turned around, all the moderators were wearing eyepatches!"?

[Wolfie~Giri]

I think it would be a fun idea. Not exactly sure how I'd convince my parents, but if there's a will there's a way right...?

And everyone should have name tags, too! XD

[Chris Wood]

Will there be holy water available on-site, or should we bring our own?

[Michael24]

Why not just various TZers meet up at local conventions and such? I'm sure there's plenty of TZers at, say, ComiCon each year. Everyone could find out beforehand on the board who's going and make plans to meet up somewhere at the con, even if it's just for a few minutes to say "hi" and stuff.

I've met a few people from message boards at conventions, and it's always nice to see and talk to them in person, even if it's just once. Heck, one of my best friends for the past six years was someone I knew on-line and then met at a con.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

I'd love to go if i could. Lol. I doubt ill have a ride or a chance:crying:

[Vermunium]

I'm in. I'd just hitch a ride with Chad Lee.

[Matt A]

If it was being held in the UK, then I'd certainly consider it. But seeing as most TZers are American, it'd have to be held somewhere there...and I can barely even afford a train ticket, let alone a transatlantic flight.:sad:

Still, if money weren't a problem, then yeah, I'd be game. I mean, provided no one here is a closet axe murderer or anything, then it'd probably be kinda fun.:D

[Pupmon 4.0]

I would love to attend a Toon Zone convention, provided it was in either Orlando, Atlanta, or any other cities in Florida and Georgia.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I'd be up for it. I have a lot of good friends on TZ these days, many of whom I'd love to meet in real life(most of them probably know who they are).

So if this actually got put together, and wasn't on the West Coast, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

[purplehairedwonder]

I'd love it. If it was at a time and a place I could go, I'd be there in a heart beat.

[EinBebop]

The convention's at my place this weekend. BYOB.

[Dr.Pepper]

I thought about this once. I would love to see what you all look like in real life.

[ToOn~g@l]

I think it would be awesome meeting members and chatting up a storm about what is going on in their lives and what not. I've always thought that a good place to meet too would be in the central part of the country like St. Louis because then some of us would not have to travel all the way to the other side of the coast just to do this convention. But thats just my opinion.

[Zubby]

If it were a real convention, with sessions on various aspects of animation, etc., it could be interesting.
If it were a bunch of Toonzoners hanging around in little cliques, then no. I have no desire to return to high school.

[Weatherman]

Assuming we could find a weekend that wasn't claimed by some other fandom convention and that we could get a place to meet and the money to rserve it all and.....


You get my drift. It would be a cool idea, but I don't really see it being possible. How many TZers are going to Otakon this year? We've tried to have a TZ get together at Otakon before, but it never seems ot work out right.

[Zach Logan]

We can get together at a restaurant in New York City or something.

[One Radical Dude]

I think a meeting at any other convention would work better than an actual TZ convention. What exactly would one do for a Toon Zone convention? I'm going to Comic-Con this summer, so I may meet a few TZ people there. Who knows?

[G1Ravage]

We can get together at a restaurant in New York City or something.

Or, we can meet in front of 4Kids headquarters and stage a massive protest against the butchering of anime.

[RD!]

I really don't think I'd want to meet the other members here. Nothing personal, it's just that chatting about cartoons online has nothing to do with whether or not you'd get along in real life. It's better to pick your friends based on what type of a person they are, not what interests they have.Basically this. There are some people it'd be cool to meet but overall I don't I'd be interested in meeting most of TZ. Besides, isn't the demographic here like a steady 15?

[Chad Bonin]

Oh, if y'all had only seen some behind-the-scenes TZ stuff...

[J'onn J'onzz]

If it was being held in the UK, then I'd certainly consider it. But seeing as most TZers are American, it'd have to be held somewhere there...and I can barely even afford a train ticket, let alone a transatlantic flight.:sad:

-Matt A-

British TZ Con could work, provided IanC and Conan-San don't meet up... that could get violent.

[Dead_Ninja_000]

Wouldn't work for me since I have no friends here, and if I do try to make friends there people would most likely ask me who I am on here, and I'll say,"Dead_Ninja" and they'll go like, "Omg," And I'll be like,":sweat: " And then they'll go, "GET HIM!" And I'll be like,":eek: " running for my life...

Well that's my worse case senario. Truth is I'd like to do it, but making friends there would be the hardest part, especially when you "well-loved" like me.. -_-

[Temple Fugate]

I would love to attend a Toon Zone convention, provided it was in either Orlando, Atlanta, or any other cities in Florida and Georgia.Savannah's nice. :D

But what would you exactly do at a TZ Convention? Sell junk? Dress up as your favorite member? Tell anecdotes to large crowds that end with: "And when I turned around, all the moderators were wearing eyepatches!"?I'm with you on this one. A TZ convention seems it'll play out like this:
"So, we're finally meeting face to face!"
"Yeah, cool."
"Awesome."
"I didn't picture you as a hat-wearing type."
"Yup."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"So, anyone want to bash the Underdog movie?"

How many TZers are going to Otakon this year? We've tried to have a TZ get together at Otakon before, but it never seems ot work out right.I was all for one the last couple years but nobody wanted to organize one. There's so much that goes on at Otakon it's practically impossible to schedule a meet and greet. Also I won't be going this year, so if there does end up being one I'm gonna be upset I missed it.

Nothing personal to all of you folks, but there really don't seem to be too many people who are compatible with each other. Some of us are here because we aren't able to fulfill social desires in real life. Maybe it's just because we don't have local friends or maybe it's because we just can't function that way. Besides, would meeting in person really be worth the massive effort it would take to organize a convention and travel to one specific location?

It just seems like we'd be making Toon Zone more than it needs to be. Actually, that's not at all what I meant to say but I can't figure out how to phrase it properly.

[The Avatar]

I probably would never go, because it would feel awkward to meet people I chat on the internet with.

[Chad Bonin]

I can just imagine standing there with other mods going "Hate that guy, hate that guy, I'd hit that, I'd hit that, hate that guy"...

... and then having Ms. Willie C. staring disappointed at me.

[Dead_Ninja_000]

I can just imagine standing there with other mods going "Hate that guy, hate that guy, I'd hit that, I'd hit that, hate that guy"...

There's not doubt in my mind that fights would be going on there.

Heck I'd like to throw one or two in there.. . . ..

[Kury Wagner]

"So, anyone want to bash the Underdog movie?"Hah! That's probably mighty close to how it would go, actually. xD

I can just imagine standing there with other mods going "Hate that guy, hate that guy, I'd hit that, I'd hit that, hate that guy"...Ah, I'd finally get my chance to give you a swift kick in the... leg.

[Zach]

I'd go, but I doubt that my restrictive parents would agree to the idea. Maybe it can be an annual event and I can attend in a few years.

[Mr. Manager]

It sounds like a fun idea, but it'd be hard to do. And anyway, people could easily just pretend they're another member.

It'd be better to just have a TZ booth at San Diego Comic-Con.

[J'onn J'onzz]

"It is the AIM of a Toon Zone member."

Ouch -- sting -- burn! :p

[XOMiss_Samantha]

We'd all have to wear name tags and stuff, wouldn't we? [oh the days of Kindergarden] It would get confusing trying to figure out wether to call someone by their real name, screen name, or TZ name. Then of course i'd embarrass myself trying to pronounce some of them :sweat:

[Ishtar]

Well some of us might recognize some people if they posted their pics on the Photo Album Thread. I'd feel weird wearing a name tag that said "Ishtar".

[Juu-kuchi]

Nah, I doubt it would work as a stand alone TZ convention.

[Weatherman]

Would we have a seperate room for the behind-the-sceenes blood sport brawls that have occasionaly taken place around here? Or do we just have icy staring contests and alot of akward moment?

[Kira]

The second one seems more likely.

[Kury Wagner]

There's been talk of pudding fights...

I'd feel weird wearing a name tag that said "Ishtar".So me calling you Ishtar makes you feel weird? I *am* Kury, now, can't help it. ><

[KuwabaraTheMan]

There's been talk of pudding fights...
I thought you said there'd be too many people watching if it was done there?

Or did you guys change your mind on that?

So me calling you Ishtar makes you feel weird? I *am* Kury, now, can't help it. ><

Yeah, you are.

I consider KuwabaraTheMan like my 2nd name at this point. Hell, I've got about 10 different nicknames originating from it.

[Ishtar]

There's been talk of pudding fights...

So me calling you Ishtar makes you feel weird? I *am* Kury, now, can't help it. ><
No, but the fact that I'd wear a name tag with "Ishtar" would make me feel weird. Ishtar is pretty much my alternate alias by now. The pudding fights would be interesting indeed.;)

[KuwabaraTheMan]

No, but the fact that I'd wear a name tag with "Ishtar" would make me feel weird. Ishtar is pretty much my alternate alias by now. The pudding fights would be interesting indeed.;)

Didn't we tell you last night that you weren't invited to watch? I'm pretty sure that we did.

[Ishtar]

Didn't we tell you last night that you weren't invited to watch? I'm pretty sure that we did.
Screw the invite, I have persistance! :p

[Kury Wagner]

I thought you said there'd be too many people watching if it was done there?
Well, it's called an attraction. All events are subject to change without notice. =P

Didn't we tell you last night that you weren't invited to watch? I'm pretty sure that we did.Now, now... if Ish pays enough, he could have ringside seats!

[J'onn J'onzz]

I consider KuwabaraTheMan like my 2nd name at this point. Hell, I've got about 10 different nicknames originating from it.
No one even knows my real name. ...Honestly, I spend so much time online that Jonn is like my first name.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

There's been talk of pudding fights..

Arrangements have allready been made for us to pudidng fight, Kury. U can't back don't now!! bhahaha :evil:

Now, now... if Ish pays enough, he could have ringside seats!

Speaking of seating, I think guard rails might be in order, just to make sure no one randomly jumps in...

GO SAM, YOU CAN TAKE HER! Waite, which Sam am I routing for? They both are named Sam, so confusing? I hear purplehairedwonder is going to referee.

[DarthGonzo]

No offense guys but my real social life is fine the way it is. I don't come here to make friends. I come here to discuss cartoons and get some information. And that's it.

[The Guitar Slayer]

I wouldn't be opposed to it. I've met a lot of my mates on TZ, and unless I have a stalker here, I don't see why I shouldn't rub elbows with the underlings... did that come out of my fingers? >_>

In seriousness, you get what you give when it comes to online communities. Some get the facts, others get friends, and some lucky people get both. So yeah, I think we all need to step outside and get our fifteen minutes a day out in the sun for cancer prevention.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

No offense guys but my real social life is fine the way it is. I don't come here to make friends. I come here to discuss cartoons and get some information. And that's it.

Well that's fair, but a lot of us come here more for the community. I keep coming back to TZ because of the people, and I've made many close friends here.

I mean, TZ is a great place to discuss toons and get info, but it's also a lot more than that. At least, that's what keeps me coming back here day after day.

I'd have to agree. I used to only view TZ as a way to find out more infomation about shows ect. , but now that I've actually met people and made some great friends, I don't see it like that at all anymore.

[Ishtar]

I'd have to agree. I used to only view TZ as a way to find out more infomation about shows ect. , but now that I've actually met people and made some great friends, I don't see it like that at all anymore.

I feel the same way. I'd only go on TZ to find out any news and to see people's thoughts on certain shows. Now I spend less time reading posts, and more time chatting with people from TZ. I like that I actually got to know many TZers more personally as friends, and I'd love to meet them all.

[BrendaBat]

I don't think Toon Zone is big enough to warrant its own convention. No one would be willing to make the trip unless some kick-ass guests, panels, and dealers' rooms were set up (and I don't see any TZ members lining up to donate money for those things :p)

But I think that arranging meetings at conventions is a great idea. I go to Comic-Con every year and I would totally attend a Toon Zone meet-up if one were arranged there!

And that's it.I understand where you're coming from. I don't go online to make friends either. But theres something about discussing geeky things in person that you just can't get online. And striking up conversations with people at a TZ meet-up would be slightly less awkward than chatting up a total stranger in the convention hall. :sweat:

[Jave]

I certainly wouldn't oppose to it, I mean, it's not that I'll be able to go to begin with.

But I think that an actual convention with all of us running into each would feel kinda weird. I like a lot of you, but I can think of at least ten people I'd hate to make a part of my actual life. If the debates we've gotten here are any indication, I can only imagine how the massacre would be like.

There's plenty of people I'd love to meet. Harley, Colin, Speedy Boris, Kury Wagner, Karl Olson, Ben, Temple Fugate, and plenty, plenty more. But a convention? Could work, but it would be awkard.

A boxing ring with Incredible Hulk/Thing boxing gloves would not only solve this problem, but bring in money

Anyone would pay to see some rivals on here go head to head with a pair of those babies on ;) :sweat:

[Mr. Pedro]

Basically, my thoughts on this have always been that if a TZ Con or some related get-together were to occur, it would be done on a regional basis at best (Northeast, Southest, Midwest and so on). And if not that, then by State, country, province and so on. I don't really see anything on a big scale happening, and getting everyone (or even some of everyone for that matter) would just be a nightmare.

For amusement's sake, TZ Con were to ever get off of the ground, I'd probably wander around for a bit, shake a hand or two, and then ditch the whole thing and look around for a decent restaurant in the area.

Justice ToonZone East and West Coast, ASSEMBLE!

[Weatherman]

Some sites do run their own pannels at Otakon. Maybe we could snag some late night time and run a Toon Zone get together panel?

FYI, all pudding fights involvign Kurry are the exclusive property of the Toon Zone reporters and mods. We'll be arranging ticket sales in adavce.......:p

[Discloner]

I can just imagine standing there with other mods going "Hate that guy, hate that guy, I'd hit that, I'd hit that, hate that guy"...

... and then having Ms. Willie C. staring disappointed at me.I'm not entirely sure what frightens me more Knux...

The fact that the average age of TZers is around 15...or the fact that you only mention guys in this post.

[Fresh V]

Well, a Toon Zone convention would be really hard to do. It should be more like a gathering. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend it, seeing as I live on the west coast and it most probably would be held on the east coast, since the majority of TZers live there for some reason.

But I'd love to go to one. It'd be a bit awkward meeting you all in real life, but it'd still be a fun time.

[Juu-kuchi]

I still doubt a convention is feasible, but if it is...

Gundam Panel Discussion with about 5 to 6 of the big Gundam aficionados in Toon Zone. Unfortunately I believe it will denigrate once any discussion about Gundam SEED Destiny begins.

Rofl. I can just imagine Duke and GWOtaku holding back me and HellCat after an arguement about Destiny and Cagalli vs Meyrin breaks out.

I can also imagine a X-Men: TAS vs Evolution thing, going in a similar fashion.

And just imagine a discussion on Bleach belonging on Toonami or AS.

wow.. all I imagine from that is a big pile of blood and fists :sweat: and maybe a few cops to break it all up after.

hahaha
your so kind.
but it probably would be:sweat:

[90'sCartoonMan]

Something tells me there is some sort of enthusiast website (is that the right phrase?) that do annual gatherings. Rent a hotel hall for a weekend, have a few guest speakers, meet and greet, etc. It wouldn't be that weird for Toon Zone to do it, provided enough people went (which I most likely would).

But since this is TZ, it'd get crazy. If we equate the internet to real life (something we never should), expect trolls, flame wars (with actual flame), and a representative from Oprah's magazine.

Some sites do run their own pannels at Otakon. Maybe we could snag some late night time and run a Toon Zone get together panel?

Or that could work, too.

[Captain Highwind]

But what would you exactly do at a TZ Convention?

I think I would cosplay as a walking schedule thread.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I think I would cosplay as a walking schedule thread.

Someone has to cosplay as "Who's Hitler?".

This has been decreed!

People could also get shirts that said things like "When I signed up at TZ, Sketch was still Hyper Luigi", or something like that.

And some panel where everyone moans about how the good old days were better.

[Jacob T. Paschal]

I'm not leaving state for this thing so...PARTY AT KARL'S OR SKETCH'S!!!


Honestly if this were to happen...I still wouldn't give out my real name. That's right you'd all have to awkrawdly call me Yūgi's Black Magician! Buwahahahaha!!!

[Megaman X]

Nah I dont think I would like to meet anybody here.. what happens in the internet stays in the internet..:sweat:

[Oh look I'm...]

I'd be up for it, but there are some people here who really want to kill me.:sweat:

[The Avatar]

One other thing. What about the users here that still live with their parents? I don't know how many of them would even be able to come.

[TheDarkness]

No, if there's a shooting or a fist fight, Wouldn't you guys be held partly responsible? TZ's creators/owners will.

It sounds ok, but make sure you do it at a anime convention or something.

That'd be hillarious. I'd love to see Kuwabara's reaction.

Nah, I'm too nice to 'play rough'. I'd forgive you even if you did something like that.

Besides, you'd only be humiliating yourself.:p

haha. Most likely. I don't think I could stand dressing as Kabuto anways :sweat:

I'd probably end up forgiving you as well..even if you did try butchered my dear Itachi...

[J'onn J'onzz]

This thread reads like an IM conversation. An awkward IM conversation.
Nah I dont think I would like to meet anybody here.. what happens in the internet stays in the internet..:sweat:
You know you want to meet Lobster.
A shooting??? At a TZ gathering??? Maybe with a water pistol.
Kuwabara would probably shoot dead ninja.
I would love to get a chance to slap a few people across the face and scream 'What the hell were you thinking when you said that!?'.
This Convention must be held.
This is why I WOULDN'T go.
See, but that's the thing, not everyone goes to anime or comic cons. I don't. I don't particularly like the idea of going to an anime convention. [I'm a girl, I'm scared, okay?] I want my TZ convention!! >.<

No, no... that's sunlight. Get your facts straight.
Horah! Neither do I. Which is why I want this damn con. I want some experience points, or something along those lines.
Just
no
cosplay....
please?
See, this whole con is a bad idea. If you think anime conventions are creepy, wouldn't meeting with a bunch of random people from online be even creepier? I mean, really, there's not even much to do at a TZ con. Temple Fugate is right. After the initial "hooray, we get to see each other in real life" bit if over, we'll probably get bored and leave.

:eek: What, TZ con a bad idea? NEVER! I'd kill for it to happen. I'd love to meet everybody.

No one said you had to go.

I'm sure some of us would enjoy it, even despite the odd silences.

[J'onn J'onzz]

The majority of the people on this forum are high school students, anyways. It's not likely they could get their parents to get them a ticket to fly across the country to have a ten minute meeting with some random guys they know on the internet. And the majority of the people in the poll voted "no" or "sounds difficult." I just think the con would get maybe ten people to show up, and it would be a waste of money.

[Jacob T. Paschal]

I'd cosplay as Luffy...

And I'd still wouldn't give out my name just so you would be forced to call me Yūgi's Black Magician...buwahahahaahaah!

[The Wolverine]

I'd cosplay as... myself.


Yeah, I'm no fun. I know that already.

[Kury Wagner]

But Sam, I want to cosplay. ._.
If you think anime conventions are creepy, wouldn't meeting with a bunch of random people from online be even creepier?No, because I like and am friends with a lot of TZ. It's not anywhere near as creepy. TZ is like a gigantic second-family to me.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

But Sam, I want to cosplay. ._.

Well ,your a fellow Sam, so i'll be more accepting :p :sweat:

[The Wolverine]

No, because I like and am friends with a lot of TZ. It's not anywhere near as creepy. TZ is like a gigantic second-family to me.
Exactly.

But to be honest... unless this was on the west coast, I wouldn't be able to make an appearance.

[Ishtar]

Well I was wondering, even though a TZ con may not happen, does anybody plan on going to AnimeNext in NJ this July? I'm going, so maybe some of us could meet there. Arranging TZ meetings at other cons could work for now.

I'd go if a lot of TZ people are going. Where in New Jersey?

[Ishtar]

It's going to be in the Meadowlands. This site should tell you what you need to know:

[Zeonic Freak]

Wait, i guess half of the members are on the east coast right? i guess if there were one, do an east coast and west coast meeting.

Well then theres you Zach, your in Nebraska right?

No. No I'm not.

[Oh look I'm...]

The British on here should fly first class free!

[Dead_Ninja_000]

I swear 2 nights ago I had a dream about this...:sweat:

[RomanMack]

I guess it would be pretty cool. Yet, slightly awkward. :sweat:

[HellCat]

Bah. Hellcat's Gundam confiscates all weaponry at the door.

Guests are reminded that Toon Zone forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion.

[Areku]

Well I live in NY so it would be pretty cool, but then again since i stoped hanging out on TZ and posting lately I dont really know that many people here now.:sad:

[ChuckRoast]

I like the idea. But I honestly can't see how it would work smoothly without any problems.

[90'sCartoonMan]

Kuwabara would probably shoot dead ninja.

Awww, and I wanted to shoot Dead Ninja! Put spoilers in your avatar and signature, will ya's? ::ch-chak::

I'm just kidding.

[Zach Logan]

TZ Con 07 @ AnimeNext

[Dead_Ninja_000]
