For shame, friendslist...

[deathpixie]

For shame. After I extolled you to spread the word of [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] coming up, what do I see? Nada. Well, except for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], who earns herself a gold star and a cookie for being a good little memer. :)

Seriously, guys, pimp that thing. We need a minimum of thirty to cover the cost of the venue, and we need to book that soon before the summer rush hits. We're not asking for money (yet), so there's plenty of time to save between now and August.

Here's an idea. Pick some from your friendslist you haven't seen in an age, and direct your Dexcon pimping post at them. It'll be fun!

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. You know you want to go, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. *grins*


Edit: In response to the many people who said they have the same friendslist as me... it's not about range, it's about saturation. Companies don't advertise their products on just one channel on television - after all, the same people watch TV across the board - because they know if they get their product out in enough faces, someone will eventually cave in and say "to hell with it". So enough people have in their LJ "So-and-so, I want you to come to Dexcon", maybe that person will think "Hey, I haven't been for years, maybe it'll be fun to catch up with these people who still remember me and want to see me!"

Edit the Second: Guys, see the mood? I'm being silly! Please don't get all defensive at me. You'll make Rossi pout and feel dumb. :P

That's all.

I didn't because my flist isn't substantially different enough from yours or the dexcon comm list to make a difference.

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

Does that mean I'm allowed to bring my friend Bethan, if she can afford to do the trip we're planning? She's a Runaways fan. ;)

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

I didn't, because a) of the folks who might be interested, they're already on your f-list and b) of the folks who aren't on your f-list, I don't think they'd be interested.

And until I get a new job or win the lottery, I know I can't go this year, so I'm a sad puppy.

Aw hell... I may just do it anyway. Lemme see if I can come up with a sufficient hook...

[threnody.livejournal.com]

You've got way more relevant people on your list than I do, so. Wish I could come, though. Have to save up cash to attend sister's wedding and see the new baby instead. Feh.

[bittertwist.livejournal.com]

I'd come for sure this year, except I will be across the country and very very poor.

As for pimping it - anyone I still have from fanfic on my flist is also on your's. :)

*grins* Has she ever written fanfic? And if you're both in the area at the time, why not!

*laughs* Unfortunately, I've got to hand in my entire honours thesis draft on the 4th of August. Also, if I remain in my current job, I'm not allowed leave between July and mid-September. :)

[deathpixie]

So there's no-one you'd like to single out and say "Hey, come to Con!" Enough people saying it might make it happen. ;)

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

All the people I want to go are either already going, or have already said they can't.

[merhawk]

I could pimp it, but since I've never gone myself and am not planning to again this year...

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

I have a nephew (tentatively called Ping Pong at present) due late July. I also will not have any leave or money. Yay!

(Secretly, I hate you all, and wish to never darken the door again! Fortunately it appears I will never have money or time to prove this statement wrong)

[doqz.livejournal.com]

I dont understand... The solution seems obvious - hock the kid.

[doqz.livejournal.com]

Dare you to use this for an advert:

[deathpixie]

Is this your brother's imminent Small Person? Yay Auntie Mel!

[deathpixie]

*snickers* You know, I do have this nifty html skills I'm developing...

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

I'm not scared of much, but my family are pretty scary. My sister (another aunt-to-be) is already buying baby clothes. I think she might set me on fire if I sold Ping Pong.

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

It is! :) Very exciting.

Some of us are being silly back. So there!

[bittertwist.livejournal.com]

Let's add they probably want to meet YOU more over ME, so I really have no sway here. The only person I could possibly coerce is John/Raven, and I'm not going, so I am not swaying him to come the year I CAN'T. LOL.

Dude. You should TOTALLY use that as an advert. *cracks up*

I wish I could attend. The con is taking place exactly one month after I'm due to return to the States, and I can't justify the expense when I'm supposed to be looking for jobs. *pout* I miss y'all. Can I just order the t-shirt?

[drharper.livejournal.com]

*sheepish grin*

Oh, Rossi. Am so sorry but I've sworn to Danu that I will attend DragonCon and Pensic Wars this year and am running into the sad fact that my resources are finite.

Maybe next year.

[yshyn.livejournal.com]

See, now you're making me feel guilty even though I've never been there and am not really part of that crowd. ;)
