mahalihooishavingaGreenDay Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Has there ever been a Green Day convention? If not does anyone feel like creating one?
ScatteredPictures Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 You mean like a Green Day fan convention?
DoodleBob Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 We actually have a thread for meet-ups: http://www.greendayc...m/109-meet-ups/ (If that's what you ment by 'conventions') I've never been to a GD convention, but I would love to attend one, one day.
mahalihooishavingaGreenDay Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 You mean like a Green Day fan convention? yeah like vidcon or comicon that kind of thing.
Margo 39 smooth Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 hahaha when I saw this I was like "what! theres gonna be a Green Day convention! " but then I was like haha wow as soon as I say I've got 39 rep and it matches my name as my status, I get my 40th.....lame haha
Tre_Gina Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 that would be aweosme! I'm imagining us buyinh, selling and trading merch, playing GD:RB, sharing Green Day stories and having a tribute band there!
raven052 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 that would be aweosme! I'm imagining us buyinh, selling and trading merch, playing GD:RB, sharing Green Day stories and having a tribute band there! Oh my God... That really would be awesome!
Viva_La_Revolution! Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 i agree sooo awesome! But where would it be if there was such a thing? there are GD fans all over the world, so where could it be?
Annie, get your gun Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Yeah, it would be so very awesome. Seeing stuff old or rare that we've never seen before, and buying all kind of stuff you want! I need a GD cup But wouldn't it be better a Green Day museum...?
pasalaska Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 This is more purely speculation so it's not an actual meet-up... so I'll leave this is GD chat for now. There's never been an official 'convention', but there have been events that have drawn Green Day fans from all over the world to one place, like the Wembley Stadium gig in 2010 (though there wasn't a big meet-up as such due to there being multiple lines), and most recently the St James Theatre served as a meeting point of sorts, especially when Billie was playing St Jimmy. At his last performance in February (before he announced he was doing the final 2 weeks), there was so many GD fans from all over the world, it was awesome.
Fuzz Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 We've talked about doing some kind of nice big meetup in the bay area sometime. Bunch of Green Day just go and meet-up there for the hell of it. It's usually better to have them surrounding some Green Day event (like Aska said, shows or the musical). There's a meetup scheduled in Toronto that a bunch of people are planning to meet up for the opening night of the musical tour. I do think it'd be fun to plan something out well in advance and try to get as many people as possible out to. Maybe we can sort something a bit bigger for the next tour. Each tour since 2004 has had a little more organization in terms of GDC/GDA meet-up's. So, maybe by the next one we can do something even bigger than that meetup in New York earlier this year. we shall see.
Malleus Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I would love to go to a meet-up or convention type thing, but all the ones that happen are at least 9,000 fucking miles away. I'm also young and poor to boot.
RokketQueen Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Any excuse to get out of Michigan works for me It'd be pretty cool to meet other fans from other parts of the nation/world. I'd definately be up for this!
DoodleBob Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 i agree sooo awesome! But where would it be if there was such a thing? there are GD fans all over the world, so where could it be? Hmm...good question. It would probably have to be where the most Green Day fans/GDCers are. PS - I love your sig.
pasalaska Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 If there ever is a convention, it kinda has to be in the East Bay... just because that's Green Day mecca.
mallorymaloney Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Maybe one day, when Green Day are bigger than the Beatles and Jesus put together, they're'll be an annual, officially run convention. If there ever is, man, I'll be all over that shit.
ChelseaWhatsername Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 A Comicon of Green Day sounds like a real nirvana man But I think it'd have to be one of those touring things. Comicon tours across the US, I'm pretty sure... gives people a better opportunity of showing up. It would be a lot cooler to have one giant one where everyone could meet at once but it would just be too hard to work out. I can see the unrealistically huge Green Day fans holding interviews about how they afford to travel and buy so much merch..
classof12 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I'd love to go to one...but I don't think they're enough Green Day freaks on my island do one...anyway I'd go, wearing my Green Day T-shirt, of course
