Anime people have Otakon, comic book people have Comic-Con, and Xangans should have XangaCon (not to be confused with Xanga-cons, i.e. convicts who blog on Xanga). I think it would be a really convenient way for me to kidnap you all at once fun way to meet fellow hardcore Xanga users. And we can go dressed up as something Xanga-related in the same way anime fans wear cosplay outfits. I’d go as a bald, pantless, stick figure wielding a waffle cone and staring morosely at a scoop of pink ice cream on the floor. Totally badass.
Oh, but you know what would be an even better idea? Dressing up as the literal interpretation of our usernames. My costume would look like this:
Get it? I’m a 64-year-old bottle of Absolut vodka with wings! What hotness! I’d be putting the “sex” in “sexagenarian.”
Of course, conventions are a lot more than dressing up in cool outfits…I think. I’ve never actually been to one, so I’m pretty much basing this entire entry on random Anime Expo pictures I found online. It appears that you can do other things besides taking a million group pictures, like visiting booths or participating in scheduled activities. I don’t know what you guys would want at XangaCon, but I for sure want to see a musical reenactment of Xanga’s history–with costumes and an orchestra. Ooh! And the opening scene of “The Lion King.” How does that not make sense? Do you know that the Xanga people didn’t go to Africa to celebrate Simba’s birth? No, you don’t, so sit yo’ ass down!
You know, I might actually put up a booth of my own: an art exhibit for my awesome Paint pictures…? Seminar on blogging etiquette…? Teaching hot Xangans the joys of putting a chloroform-soaked handkerchief to their noses and waking up in my cave all naked and covered with nacho cheese…? (Sidebar: why do people call handkerchiefs “hankies”? Shouldn’t it be “handkies” or “handies”? Whatever, perv! That’s not what I meant.) Endless possibilities!
You guys would go, right? Forget for a moment that this is probably an elaborate scheme to get in your pants.
XangaCon! XangaCon!

sounds like a great ideo to me!
I’m so making an icon of my name. How freaking funny!
@AdiOpERsOcoM – It’s that weird, huh? >.<
neyeheh.. handies..and I’m pretty sure if you ever offer me a handkerchief I’m going to go ahead and use.. your sl.. no.. MY sleeve.. because you would probably anticipate my using your sleeve.. but wait.. you’d probably anticipate that too.. and now my sleeve is no longer safe.. omg.. om gomg STOP BREATHING.. why is everything so….nacho cheese ftL =(
I’ll go, I’ll go!
@squeakysoul – haha i never knew theree was a reply button! ricebunny and her cosmetics would own all. i’d get john’s autograph too and maybe cosplay with a couple other xanstas but that’s it. i mean… i’d oggle at absolut angel kuz she looks like a hottie based on the display pic but meh. but point is, most people would be on their laptops anyway bloggin about how cool or lame the xanga con is HAHAHA ~true facts
@squeakysoul – lol ricebunny and her cosmetics would own. i’d get john’s autograph and oggle at absolut angel as she looks like a hottie on her display pic but meh. i’m sure most of us would be on our laptops bloggin about how cool/lame the xsanga con is anyhow woot woot ~true factsonly 25% max would cosplay too…. ME!~!!
that would be a lot of pants for you to get in to. but i’m game. let the xangacon begin!
um, but i am my own literal version of my screen name -_-
maybe i could just wear a naked-looking fatsuit, die my hair grey and grow a long beard and pretend to be an internet stalker
I guess I’ll have to change my user name to something a little bit more costume-friendly. We should have a walking liquor store! :p
Dear Sylvia,
I wrote a blog entry which got to the top five spot and mentioned your site in the article but haven’t alerted you to that fact yet. Hi there. My name is Michael and I used a link to your “xangalebrity” article in my entry on “the xangapedia”, crediting you with the use of the word before another blogger who claimed credit. I also notice, now that I’m here, that your blog is delightful and fun. And I like it very much. (And I’ve seen a lot of blogs lately, as I’m in “comment mode”.hopefully xangratiating myself into the hearts of Xangans everywhere.
I will also use XangaCon with credit of course in the 2nd edition of my xangapedia.
I love the “blogging etiquette” entries. I also noticed that your “comment index” went up considerably since your Xangalebrity post. Congrats. I hope the same thing happens to me, since I just got featured a second time.
Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
wonderful idea!
Oh! But I am creepy! I really am! I have restraining orders in at least 6 states (I’ve lost count of them), however I am all about personal intimate stalking, instituting a xangacon for mass kidnapping simply isn’t my style. 😦
Dressing up as the literal meaning of our username? That would be tough for me.
hey sex addict, are you a True member O_o?
“convenient way for me to kidnap you all at once”lolWe could just, you know, dress up in the same clothes that we have in our profile pictures, so people can recognize us.I dunno. :PBut I think its a great idea.
XangaCon? That be great. Didn’t youtube have a social sometime ago? I forget. Xangacon..haha i wanna see that ;-P
My username is my actual name, though, so I’d simply have to show up to win first prize. ;)Where would it be held, anyway?
This is a great idea! Do you know how many anorexic chicks I could hook up with at this thing???
This is not a half bad idea.
So I’d just go as a duck that you could only see if you were high?
Yes!
I think it’s a wonderful idea…and I would have to spend thousands in latex and steel to make my costume work…
What if I was scheming to get you in my pants? Would your scheme and my scheme cancel each other out, or would the combined schemes cause a massive Xanga orgy, a Xangorgy if you will?I’d have to go as my profile pic…nothing less would do. Now to find the hot babe to accompany me…
OMG that would be brilliant!! Espically the Lion King part, and the chloroform
Haha that’s really cool.. :]
I already do embody my user name. I could wear something that shows off the belly. Not hard to do when it’s as large as mine. It’s a good idea. Sounds like fun.
I’ll direct the musical production of the History of Xanga.
A xanga con actually sounds kind of sweet. I’d be willing to do it.
I think a Xangacon would be brilliant. I was going to write an entry advocating it one day. I might yet do that. I’d totally go.
Hmmm Xangacon could be cool. My costume would be all ninjaish and something to do with a library. Don’t ask me what, I am working on it!
