| | Currently Playing: OK Go - OK Go - "Get Over It" Nothin really excited happen today or since my last entry. I'm going to the movies on Friday with my cousin Ruben. The plan is to see 28 Days Later, but we were gonna see it this past Sunday but there was no more showings of it at one of these theaters so we decided to wait till Friday. But I just remembered that American Wedding comes out on Friday so we might go see that instead or maybe both he feels like it.
Hey just want to tell you guys that I'm now part of the staff that will help make The Matrix Convention. I'm part of the advertising team.
Right now I'm working on getting William Gibson to come to the event. He really needs to be there cause it would just own if he was there. Without him there would be no Matrix movies or even Cyberpunk for that matter.
I also will probably be running the filming of the convention like making a fan film with the rest staff and showcasing it there for everyone and doing some interviews with fans at the event and some the ongoing of the convention to show and sale at the end of the event.
I just wanted to let you guys know what I'm working on getting done for the event. I'll keep you guys in touch. Here is what we know so far that will happen:
From TheLastFreeCity.com:
Quote: More news on the Matrix Convention including the date for the summer of 2004. So far, three companies are supporting the convention (Cadillac, Best Buy, and AbbyShot.com) and a graphics designer is helping design some things for the convention. Charlie came up with a name for it (it's not permanent yet):
"Matrix Reanimated". He called it that because by the time the convention comes, the hype for "The Matrix" will have died down and the convention will revive, or reanimate, the hype. Right now he's looking for companies that could sell things and more people to help him with various things.
Here are the things that he has come up with so for:
- It will be four days long (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday).
- The dates are July 15th-18th, 2004.
- The movie theater of McCormick Place would show a part of the Matrix each night (Thursday: "The Animatrix", Friday: "The Matrix", Saturday: "The Matrix Reloaded", and Sunday: "The Matrix Revolutions").
- A few rooms in McCormick Place will show anime and live-action movies inspired by and based off of "The Matrix" as well as fan movies.
- People can dress up like they were in the Matrix.
- Groups of people can become a crew of a ship.
- A room or two with video games in the vein of "The Matrix".
- Bands can come and play songs inspired by "The Matrix".
- There'd be a few rooms for discussions and debates about various Matrix philosophies and such.
- McCormick Place could be decorated with Matrix stuff.
- "Scene Reinactment" and "Mimicking" contests.
- Matrix trivia games.
- The Dating Game: Matrix-style.
- Martial Arts demonstrations.
He'll have more ideas and some of those will be fleshed-out more later.
Thanks goes to MFN for this piece of news.
