Jaysus, you lot have given me a bloody good laugh...
I'm in for the Czech Republic or Iceland or Greenland or those parts of England that don't speak English, anywhere out of Australia.
OK I'll consider NZ, sorry not interested in the US.
Viddax is the man to clear the way, to placate the locals before we arrive.
It's so good to hear Madame L has her head screwed on and is doing some forward planning though it's sad news to hear about hemi and his predicament.
I could hear Magnetron's version of a well known song singing in my ears, maybe the theme song everytime someone arrives at the convention.  
Keep planning, am sure it'll lift off soon  😉

If the lady will not go to the convention, then the convention will go to her. Cue 'The Liberty Bell' (Monty Python theme) accompanied by doors smashing inwards.


Bwahaha!

You're just the sort of girl we're looking for.

Hepcat61 said:Why am I suddenly put in mind of Paris 1920's, a zinc bar bistro and Pound just took a swing at Hemingway, missed and broke poor Joyce's glasses... again!  

Could we have it at the Paris, that way we can have  the full bar fight breakout in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower...

I wonder if they'd play along and actually send Gendarmes to break it up...

Don't forget Coco Channel.  Nobody could heat-up a 20's Paris party like her.

Kid, I am an old man.  And I'm proud of it.  That's why I post a current photo of me.

viceroycigs said:and have sex? seriously?? thts honestly so try hard this isnt a hookup site but if you wanted to have sex with someone on here thats whatever, there are a lot of underage people on this site, they wouldn't be able to have a say so to go to that kind of thing. honestly make it for everyone not just horny desperate adults.

I think it would be pretty safe to say, no minor DU members would have the means or the money to attend a DU convention. But if they did we'd preserve their virtue because we'd need a virgin to sacrifice.

Viddax said:It would be consensual sex if it was sex anyway, regardless of any other styles or types of intercourse. Besides, if the creative juices are flowing then some people may well want to get other juices flowing as well. Personally I would prefer to drink some fruit juice and admire the curves and aspects of the incredibly creative minds.... and then get to know them more intimately.
Given the past year, France might not be a good idea either, because of all that terrorism nonsense. And secondly because its France. I kid; it would make quite a statement to have the convention there: Liberté, égalité, fraternité and all that in the name of art.

I think Mecca would be the perfect place!  Considering the public floggings, it would satisfy my S&M fantasies.

seekingkate said:Why make the meet up in the USA?  There are a lot of members of DU who are from the US so how about experiencing something different?  Europe would be the best place to have a DU convention, preferably a country that speaks little english or doesn't like to speak english like parts of France?  Let's get completely out of our comfort zone for the experience 😉

Sounds good.  I'd go for a European vacation.

I don't know how serious the idea is this time around, as this has been bounced around a few times before ... Hell there have been writing comps on the idea too.

For the sake of conversation ... I'd say have it where there's already a literary convention going on so there are outlets for attendees to read, write and perform ...

New Orleans has a pretty good one going right now:

Vegas, hell no! ... there's nothing artistic about that town

Europe ... I'd love to see Paris again ... I would imagine there are all sorts of festivals in the UK

My requisites are: great local food and cafes ... great intimate clubs for live music (jazz preferred) ... dancing thereafter ... open mic clubs where we could share poetry ... water views ... hookah (what you smoke is up to you)

Brotha, I think Melbourne could be the city you're looking for...
