I'm still debating whether I should go or not. :/ I'm kinda usin' my money to go to Canada every now and then to see Payden so I don't know if I'll make it this year.

I'd like to have a decent heads up so I can make plans.

If it's in the USA, which it probably will be... I'll need a passport and such.

I could have sworn you didn't need a passport to travel between Canada/USA. Maybe I'm misinformed.

If anyone cares, I won't be going. I'm saving money for a trip to Florida with some friends over spring break.

You definitely need a passport. Applying for one soon because I have to go to Vancouver in July.

Cali convention would be sick, and I'd try my hardest to get out to one of those.

EDIT: 'Ffr' looks so weird compared to 'FFR'...

You definitely need a passport.

a passport works but i dont think you need one. when i went to canada all i needed was a copy of my birth certificate and my SS card. im pretty sure was all i needed.

i dont know about the other way around though.

IF we have another convention, it would almost 99% surely be in Ohio again during Animarathon (http://www.bgsu.edu/studentlife/organizations/anime/animarathon/index.html).

foilman8805

01-7-2009, 03:34 PM

If you're flying to Canada you need the passport, and it's really not to enter Canada, it's more for being able to come back into the U.S.

I had no idea there had ever been one in Ohio.

I'm pretty noob here, as far as the forum goes, but I'm an FFR/Stepmania/Amplitude/IIDX/Guitar Hero/Just about any music game nerd, so I'll definitely be in if there's another.

I've actually got some business I need to take care of around BG sometime, too, so depending on the time, it could be very convenient.

its called an FFR Convention, not a Rock Band Convention.

i know many people included myself were disappointed in the amount of live feed time was spent watching rock band instead of ffr =/

01-9-2009, 10:22 AM

I don't know why we haven't had a convention yet.
We have so many people from Canada willing to go but nobody will put one together...
I've put together a few meetups but... not a convention, which is what we need.

These are all held in America so I'm never going to get there. Unless by some chance I make a ton more money and can randomly take off half way around the world for a few days.

That would then make it a >0% chance. So 10% would suit you best.

I think it should be somewhere in the center of the country so people wouldn't have to go all the way across the country to get there. Ohio is good, or maybe Chicago, St. Louis, or Iowa (though I don't know of any Conventions in Iowa).

Another FFR convention thread where everyone says where they live so they can easily get to it.

Anyway, I'd need a pretty good alibi to get away from my parents THAT long without being noticed, and either way, I still won't be able to go because I have no way of getting there. IF the covention is still in Ohio, there's a really small chance that I can actually go.

It'll probably be awkward being the youngest guy there though while most of you are like highschool grads.

If it's anywhere in America, sure I'll go. The closer to East Coast, the better of course. Though I hope Rock Band isn't the theme of the convention again. DDR/ITG (and maybe Guitar Hero) would be better as well.

Or a bunch of dorks sitting on laptops doing what they do at home and playing SM and FFR instead of socializing was the theme of both years actually.

Or a bunch of dorks sitting on laptops doing what they do at home and playing SM and FFR instead of socializing was the theme of both years actually.

It was because time wasn't used wisely and that people lacked interest in doing anything but RB2 and sitting in front of a laptop. Maybe before we go (IF it still happens, lol) we plan stuff to do far more ahead of time.

...

So ... What are some cool stuff to do?

I was thinking this should happen when alot more people would be able to go, too (like say, summer time-ish?) so that we all can save up alot more. I don't know, thought it was an idea. What's 3+ months?

if theres a 'convention' it will likely end up being more like a big ffr get-together. this is a pretty lousy time to try to plan a legit convention at animarithon and whatnot given that no one in charge of the website has anything to do with its workings at the moment except like tass/sprite and idk if they can put that together

None of the upper staff really cares about a convention this year so it probably won't be happening. I know I've been gone for a year and would probably not know an answer to this but I talked to tass about it a few weeks ago.

We'd have to crash animarithon if we wanted to do something, like chaz said. Or do something that's actually more fun than sitting in a classroom and playing FFR all day, and have a meetup in some city and go places within said city. Theme parks, etc

I'd be glad to help put something like that together, as long as its a place within 700 miles of my house. (Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Dallas)
