Langland's Awesome Thoughts(Extended)
Something I really want to do April 3, 2010 - 10:24:42
Yes I am announcing on the one site I maybe shouldn't since people can easily discourage me and make me just give up due to my pushover side. But whatever because this is something I feel very passionate about. Okay so onto the point. Trae posted a blog about his guide to starting a con and ironically, it was everything he told me before he even made the guide and he told me all of this like a whole year and a half prior to this. Well to get to the point now and that's the fact I really want to create a Comic Book convention. I want to create something that will last a weekend and have all the Fun I have at the anime conventions. I truly want to have a better comic book convention market there since I loved comics longer than I loved anime and both I enjoy to this day whether it's a funny comic strip on UnCONventional, a thrilling moment with Wolverine and the X-Men, a relaxing episode of One Piece, or checking out a Garfield comic(yes I have been a huge of Garfield and I am not ashamed of it). So to actually make it clear what the Convention really is, it is a Comic Book and Manga Convention. I really want to do this someday. Now I understand Trae has informed to try establishing a Club with a college honestly, I want to try and fund this whole thing on my own. The reason is because I'm very shy and bashful, I get to nervous when trying to fight my case, my social anxiety makes me fear rejection too much, and I worry too much about how other people are going to try and discourage me. I also want to make this a one year thing unless it were to actually pick up then I would want to do it every 2 years. My only other challenge that worries me is getting a core staff and that I have doubts of doing. I know I would function to be a Con Director and Treasurer(due to my accounting major). But I know I would need a head for table top gaming, video gaming, events, guests. I would need a secretary, an artist(to make my mascot I have in mind), and also someone who could head the merchandise. And let's notforget a webmaster to design the website and run the forum since Conventions always function better with a Forum. My only best bet is to maybe convince some of the No brand Staff if they would like to help out but they are Staffing a bigger convention so they probably would put my con secondary and I understand that. That's one other thing, I really get nervous when established Cons find out about what I'm doing since I worry they'll discourage me. The other challenge to rounding up a staff is that there are some staffers who are very political and can oppose my idea and easily convince a whole body of staffers to oppose hence why I am nervous. One positive that I do have is that ChAdam Games of Wausau has said if I can get a Con running, they're more than happy to come. Anyways I hope to get this dream going someday after I'm done with school. When I can do that, I'll be ready. Oh yeah I forgot to announce the name I want to call it. It's Krypt Kon. - Langland |
