Knightmare Discussion Forum Convention
-
Suppose I could launch my entire body into a wall and call myself granitas
Anyway, I'd be willing to make an effort to get there (and pay), but it largely depends on where it is, and when it is. I'm concerned it may clash with something going on at uni. Also I'd have to rely on public transport (don't drive at the moment) which could prove expensive. If I could make it, its knightmare, so why not?
knice idea.

This can be great addition for knightmare.com

A FrightKnight costume would be most inconvenient also, especially waiting at the bus stop waiting for the number 17A to Blackpool, or somewhere.

I'd be all too happy to pay the ransom required for a convention. As for costume, I just stop shaving for a few months, buy a trenchcoat and rub it in mud, eat gravel for a while to aquire that perfect voice and, viola! Instant Sly Hands!
Or you could always shave your head and dive into a very large pot of green paint. But then again imagine the cost of all that paint. Oh yeah, I forgot. You need to eat three or four tins of tuna.

Another thing you could do was get your mum to make you a brown robe, like a nativity play one, get a pillow and a rope and also get a basin haircut. Or if you can't be bothered to get a basin haircut, you could always ask your mum to attach an oversized hood to the robe.

I would have a little bit of difficulty coming as the Brollachan.
-
But WOW, what an entrance that would be!
-
I think a lot of things would depend upon where it would or could be held. Myself whilst I have a driving licence I don't have a car (slight problem), which means I have to rely on public transport.
For example... London has reasonable public transport, but would people who live in Yorkshire be prepared to travel such distance? (I'm not certain what the train links are like)
-
If you cannot get hold of a PA system... ...just use Elita.
(no offense to Elita fans)

Can I suggest that if anything is organised, profits go to charity? A children's charity, since Knightmare itself made a positive difference in many children's lives.

My views on the subject are, anything that can allow a large amount of the community to meet up for some form of event that would not cost a huge sum of money is always a good thing. However a venue to hold such an event is likely to be expensive, assuming we get a fair few people and if we don't then is it going to be anything special other than a few people meeting up, it that's all it is then that's been happening for ages.
If it is going to be a big convention style then it's going to have to have an entry cost to cover the cost of the venue, for people to pay an entry cost there needs to be some big selling points. Obviously meeting people from the forums is one such point, but with time then you can go out and meet anyone willing to see you without an entry cost. Things like some widescreen TVs or projectors showing Knightmare series, or the VR pilot sequence or even the RPG would be selling points. Perhaps some Knightmare merchandise, though there isn't a lot of it. Tables with the boardgame would be good, if a few people could bring it & have several games going. Or using a roleplay system such as Dungeons & Dragons then a Knightmare scenario could be made for people to play. Possibly even some Live Action Roleplaying All of these would take some organising of course but it'd be worth it for a big convention & if it's successful it could become a yearly event. Obviously the manpower required to organise this would be a fair amount, a suitable venue would need to be found & booked and some method of buying tickets arranged. With pre-registration being important so the organiseres can get an idea of the numbers they're likely to have on their hand. If tickets could be issued by post then that would avoid those who pre-register from having to queue for ages. It will be difficult, with Knightmare fans dotted around everywhere, to find a venue that suits everyone perfectly but I am sure that any big venue would be close to rail & coach links. Providing the travel & entry costs are not too high then I would say the idea has real promise, with someone with good skills working on it then it could go far. As Kieran has volunteered then I think there's no need to worry about it being in good hands As an afterthought, the idea of giving any profits to a childrens charity sounds like a wonderful idea. I apologise for ranting on so much also, just wanted to detail my views & ideas all at once rather than disjointedly.
