I would include a third "why not both? 🌮" option but NO you must CHOOSE for SCIENCE 🫵

EDIT FOR RESULTS:

BALD-RAUTHA SWEEP ✨🥚✨

CONfab is coming! You've only got 2 more days to get the special earlybird pricing! Right now, you can register for the discounted price of $145! June 1st, the price will be rising.

CONfab runs 10/22-10/25/2026 in Chicago at the Springhill Suites O'Hare!

Register:

(In essence, calling to mind that impromptu press conference scene in The Beatles' first movie, "A Hard Day's Night", if you get the idea--only with The Banana Splits being the targets.)

REPORTER #1: So what exactly explains the name "Fleegle," to begin with?

FLEEGLE: At least I take regular flea and tick baths!

REPORTER #2: What exactly is your take on girls?

BINGO, looking somewhat clueless: I have to admit we have the inevitable girlfriends and "stage-door Janes" everywhere we turn up for concerts, and there can be no denying the obvious: They simply cannot resist us, especially romantically!

A FEMALE REPORTER: So where do you stand on the Ry-Krisp controversy?

SNORKY: [Incessant and unintelligible honking]

DROOPER, interpreting: Snorky was just saying "What controversy exactly?"

A FEMALE REPORTER, again: And where would you stand on what some would call the stale and base predictability of modern music?

DROOPER: Who wouldn't?

BINGO: But at least we find some decent "old-school" motels to stay at while on tour; who needs the sterile and aseptic predictability of the chains?

FLEEGLE: That, I will have you know, is just plain common sense, for once!

REPORTER #3: Bingo, what exactly makes you something of the Don Juan of the Splits?

BINGO: That's about the first time people have seen yours truly as something of a Don Juan; at any rate, chicks dig me ... Sour Grapes fear me!

DROOPER: And might it surprise you to learn where Snorky is also something of a romantic interest, even with his looks?

SNORKY: [Incessant honking]

DROOPER: Snorky was just concurring there, sir.

So, there’s this convention that I really, really love. It’s called CONfabulation. This is its website. This is a link to its Tumblr page.

I'm trying to promote the second annual CONfabulation con, but it’s difficult to get the word out. It's a small multi-fandom annual con held October 25-28, 2018 in Chicago, IL, run by staff with 10+ yrs of con experience. There are no actors or special guests, this is a by-the-fans, for-the-fans convention with programming submitted & voted on by attendees.

The con is two months away, so it’s time for a last-minute push for registration. I’m trying to figure out the best way to attract attendees, but I’m at a loss. I spend most of my free time on Tumblr, so I figure that other fanpeople like me would probably be on Tumblr too - so I’ve been surfing through the site, checking out blogs and DM-ing people who seem cool and fannish (and avoiding blogs of minors and ppl who live outside the country and thus would be unlikely to travel to the US for a fan convention). But there’s difficulties in this process: I keep hitting the daily limit of new DMs, and I sound suspicious due to the prevalence of scams and pornbots on this site. 

So, I’m going to try tagging some people on this post and see how it goes. If you’ve been tagged, it’s because I found your blog while surfing Tumblr and I thought you might be interested. (If you’re under 18, I didn’t know and I’m sorry to bother you, this convention has an age limit of 18+). Check out our con post for more info about us: https://greenbryn.tumblr.com/post/177547499169/confabulation-2018. 

Please consider registering and coming to our con this year!

A new episode of ConFAB is finally here! In this video, I share a concept for a writing system that uses unique beads as glyphs.
