Kokonventions

MuseBlog does not encourage non-virtual meetings. If you’re going to organize them, be careful. The best way to plan them is for your parents to communicate with one another by e-mail. We’ll put them in touch with one another if they will e-mail us (gapa @ musefanpage.com). Meanwhile, you can use this thread for headcounts and other preliminary planning.

Chicagoland crowd: We’ve asked people at Muse headquarters about a possible tour for you. Stay tuned…Sorry–not this spring break!

GOOD NEWS! The people at Carus Publishing say they can give a tour. If you stop by on Tuesday or Thursday after 10 and before 4, you can meet the magazine’s art director and designer. If you come in the morning, the photo researcher will be there, too. Just let us know if and when, and we’ll pass the word on to them.

You couldn’t visit the Muse offices over the weekend, unfortunately. They’ll also be closed on Friday the 6th (for Good Friday).

How about a virtual kokonvention? Don’t know how, but I’m sure it could be done. Ask Aeiou. She’ll know. Also, if anybody is coming to England, let me know. Maybe we can meet up.

Wah! No fair! The Chicago MuseBloggers get a tour of the Muse headquarters!

I didn’t know MuseBlog discourages non-virtual meetings! I seriously doubt a troublemaker would come to such a sheltered, close-managed site as this. They’d probably go to a chatroom or something.

6 – Yeah, and also, any stalker could view this from the internet – it’s not protected. And reading-at-baseball-games nerds? Perfect target. So, just being safe and caring for the Bloggers, the GAPAs don’t encourage personal Kokonventions.

There are $1 bus rides from Pittsburgh to Chicago, but the trip is really long (I think 6 or 7 hours, but I’m not exactly sure).

I really want to have a Muse, PA Kokonvention. If anyone is going to be in the Pittsburgh/Allegheny County area, we can probably have a Kokonvention!!!

When is the tour? Not Thursday afternoons, I have Hebrew School. But if REALLY necessary, I can switch it to Tuesday. Piano on Friday, but that’s easily moved to Monday. Unless I have a doctor’s appointment, practically anything’s available to me. Penty won’t be able to come unless it’s a Friday.

Mmmkay. I would LOVE to go to Chicago and see the headquarters…but maybe the weekend after spring break season ends (14 April? Or thereabouts?) Cos I know a lot of people leave their general area of dwelling over spring break and so it would mean that a lot of people might miss it (mostly me — I’ll be in England from 31 March – 12 April).

So some weekend. Please, GAPA?

5, 6, 7-No, they don’t encourage them. And yet they give us a thread specifically for planning them.
10-not encourage + not discourage=neutral

There was some talk a little while ago about a Kokonvention in D.C. in latish May, or very early June (I think we’ll be in the area from May 17 to June 3) can anyone come then? PLEASE?

I REALLY want to go to Chicago. Mom says she’d be willing to take me there this summer instead of CTY. I said no way. muse is very, very close to being as good as CTY, but i’m not giving up 3 or 6 weeks of nerd camp even for a kokonvention.

No one else lives in the L.A. area, do they? If you do, perhaps we could have a kokonvention?

Bad news about the tour of Muse H.Q.: most of the people who work on the magazine will be away that week. Also, the whole company has recently moved to a new building, and a lot of interesting items (including the Muse archives) are still in boxes in the basement. Basically, there’s not much to see right now. So I wouldn’t tie myself in knots trying to get over there on a weekday if some other time is more convenient.

Uhm, I thought this was clear, but if there will be a Muse Headquarters Tour sometime in the near future, it’d be nice if it was on a weekend…when most of the people are there…and they’re moved in…and most of the MBers who live in a fair proximity to Chicago (I’m about 2 hours away, for example) could go…

Just some weekend when its most convenient for the magazine staff and the MBers who lives close enough. It doesn’t matter to me, so long as its not any time in my mentioned break…

Hmm. In order to have a Kokonvention, I need to ask my mum to e-mail the GAPAs. Before I go through the trouble doing this, are any of the Chicago landers even available next week at any point to have a Kokonvention?

No, no, no, I never said science is better than Muse, but in terms of distance… And besides, a GAPA tour of Science has to be fun, I think Robert said he would get us a candy out of the vending machine, and it’s closer for some people. I think PP and THF live in PA, or somewhere really close, and maybe others. I just don’t think we could make it all the way to Chicago. They just said at the top of the page that the Muse people said no. I certainly wasn’t trying to indicate that either is better than the other! where do the other GAPAs work again?

In terms of when, just not on Sunday morning, sometimes not on Saturdays, but about any time on a weekday. I think it should be sometime when non-homeschoolers can attend too. I don’t know when your schools let out, though…

I used to live in Chicago. And Pennsylvania. Hershey, actually. Always smelled like chocolate because everyone used cocoa bean mulch for their gardens. *drools*But, alas, no more. Maybe would could get a general idea of where the most MBers live and then hold a Kokokinvention around there. Previously, there were at least two or three other MBers around where I live, and a freind of mine supposedly just started, though I’m not sure what ther user name is yet. So, that makes around four or five in the Big Mitten.

It’s a six-hour drive to DC and I don’t know how far we are from Chicago but it’s in a different time zone. I don’t think I can do any of this. There isn’t anything in NYC, is there?

GUESS WHAT! I asked my Dad if we could go to Chicago (for sightseeing and Kokovention) and he said “maybe in the summer”. That’s an improvement all right!

Anyways, I had a good idea. What if, when you all go to Chicago to meet, or whatever, what if you each bring a Muse magazine (at least one) and stand in front of the Muse HQ reading it? Then somebody could take a picture and you could send it into Muse. Then you’d have several MBers, reading Muse, in front of the Muse HQ, IN Muse!

Ah, the fickleness of fame.

It’s easy to get out of D.C. late in the day. Just climb on the Metro, and stay on until you cross the border. I haven’t checked the blossoms lately; they weren’t out the last time I looked, but they’re supposed to peak in the middle of next week, so things should start happening very soon.

Is anyone else coming on Tuesday? My mom said I could go only if someone else was coming.

The problem for me is I probably won’t be able to get there in time for a tour. (Noooooooooooooo!!!…). I’d probably end up ariving there around four, which is not. cool. At all. *snibble*

I’m pleased to announce that here in the nation’s capital, the cherry trees have blossomed overnight and are thick and burgeoning and radiant and glorious.

85 – Ooh, pretty! Our forsythia is blooming, and we also have crocuses, daffodils, and peach blossoms. But that’s about all for Pittsburgh.

85-Really? Overnight? 8) 86-Does Pittsburgh have a population of more than one million? Does anybody else want to go to DC? Robert, are you still willing to give a tour? Assuming all of that is true…

87 – yes, we have about 2 million people. (I didn’t know we had that many people until a few weeks ago).

When is the DC Kokonvention? THF and I can try to make our parents take us.

85- Oh, fab! (I’ve just realized I use “fab” way too often. I will try to stop) My friend and I are planning to go down (up? I should check a map) later this week.

If anybody will actually attach a date to this DC kokonvention, I will probably be able to make it

Hm… I thought I saw a places list somewhere, and I thought it was here, but turns out it’s on the Kokonspiracy thread. Want me to post Panda’s list here or is it not really needed? I’ll update it if you want.
