BigButtBlogCon 2005!
Published by Becky S August 10th, 2005 in newsy, philadelphiaI have some fabulous news for those who think that a certain blog-oriented convention scheduled for the Labor Day holiday is just a tad creepy. Register now for my non-creepy convention, which will be held in Philadelphia during the same weekend: the first annual BigButtBlogCon.
Why should you attend BigButtBlogCon? For starters, just look at some of the educational classes being offered:
- How to stalk Viggo Mortensen
- Strategies for managing your boss
- Publishing a successful male-demeaning zine
- Identifying and analyzing art
And that’s just the beginning! The Phillie Phanatic has agreed to deliver the keynote, and entertainment will be provided by Max Raabe.* In addition, don’t forget that the convention coincides with the Philadelphia Fringe Festival—registered BigButtBlogCon attendees will receive a substantial discount on tickets SEPTA token and an El map.
*At least I think that Mr. Raabe is performing. We had a long conversation, but my German is terrible.
UPDATE: Oops, did I subconsciously borrow the word creepy from pesky’apostrophe? Sorry, did not mean to plagiarize!
UDPATE II: To answer Dave’s question, cult members will receive a registration discount and two additional SEPTA tokens.

Count me in! I could use a subway token.
What is the subject of the Phanatic’s keynote speech?
Sign me up. I love that big green guy!
Err . . . . thing . . . . . .
In!!!
Do your cult members get free access to the classes?
I also thought that that certain convention was a little bit creepy ™(R). Now I don’t feel too alone in my thoughts.
How dare you attempt to steal my thunder! I’ll give you ‘creepy’! *shakes fist* [and than accidentally punches herself in the eye]
Personally, I think BigButtBlogCon should have a personal appearance by the faux homeless guy with the little white dog who perches outside the Wawa at 17th & Arch. No convention is complete without it. *grin*
Will we get to ride on the conference bike and wear big butt padding?
