* * * (dramatic pause) * * * * * WHEREAS, 2008 will be the 50th anniversary of the meddling teenagers showing blatant disrespect for any meaningful time-travel etiquette or ethics whatsoever,
and WHEREAS, the results of said meddling have resulted in fun characters, good stories and loyal fandom,
and WHEREAS, something truly special must be done to mark said approaching anniversary,
and WHEREAS, numerous members of fandom, particularly Legion World of late, have been meeting face-to-face and realizing that most of us are good, decent people worth meeting and having a good time,
and WHEREAS, no one holds it against me for being the exception, ,
and WHEREAS, it's about damn time to have a gathering of ALL of us,
and WHEREAS, six of us representing two nations have already agreed to this,
and WHEREAS, it takes time, and financial and logistical planning to get people from around the globe in one single place,
and WHEREAS, with three years to plan and save, not one can raise a legitimate excuse to the contrary,
and WHEREAS, there are already too many "Whereas"es.
therefore, BE IT RESOLVED that each and every Legion Worlder, past, present and future, is hereby obligated to participate in the ultimate LEGION WORLD'S "50th ANNIVESARY OF THE LEGION" GATHERING in person,
and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that while it is impossible to find a time and place that is everyone's best choice, a dialogue shall begin immediately to weigh the pros and cons of potential locations and times of year,
and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that anyone who wimps out will be tracked down and forced to things so nasty that only Pov could enjoy them.
Let the call go out!!!!

Legion World @ Disney World (or Universal) has a bit of a ring to it.
....or, we could do a cruise!!!
....or meet in Metropolis!!!!
....or in NYC so we can invade the DC offices.
Faraway, GiGi, Bevis, et al will have to kidnap Barry to make sure he makes it.

Any good central location so more of us can gather would be great. I don't think we need a con or anything as long as there are enough of us gathering. And three years to plan works out great since I've already promised Caroline we'd go to New Orleans for my 40th next year. I'll need a couple of years to recover from that.

Oklahoma City is about as central as you can get y'know. ...or we could take over Dallas again. A con would be incredibly cool 'cause then we might sucker invite some creators too!

We were talking about this over the weekend, and came up with the idea of a huge LMB/Legion World gathering of as many people as possible (from all over). I'm thinknig like 50 or more!
We figured 3 years would be needed to kind of sort out how to coordinate such an event, but I really think it can be managed. This way, people from all over the US could come, as well as Canada, the UK, Australia and anywhere else that people are! Plus, 3 years just happens to be the Legion's 50th anniversary.
If you think about it then, with a group of about 50 or so fans gathering in the Legion's 50th year, that's a pretty good reason for any creators to come and join us. We could at least *invite* the current team, Paul Levitz, Dave Cockrum (if he could make it), etc. and see who turns up. Kind of like a Legion-centric theme, even though the main point of it (in my mind) would be for as many of us to meet in one place at the same time in person.
The two big questions would be: 1. Where? Which would mean this has to be the place that is most accessable to the most amount of people. Which also means that a lot of the cons might not be good, but we'd have to see. Obviously, 3 years is some time away, but ideas are welcome on how to manage this.
A con also might be overcrowded. If we really could get like 50 people together (or more!), we could rent out a hall or reception area somewhere (or a LMBer could even let us use their huge mansion/estate/ranch!).
2. When? Sometime in 2008 is good, but what seasons are good for everyone else? When are people busy with work, school, travel, etc. and can fit in a few days or long weekend into their schedule?
I think this could be a ton of fun! It'd be like our own Legion World/LMB Con!

I love this idea! Count me in...and let me know where. Meeting some of the gang in Dallas was the best time I have ever had and it truly rocked. Long live the Legion...lets party!
