I attended a writing group for years (and years and years) and at one point after a decade or two, the person who ran the salon gathered us all in at a small convention space in a hotel for the evening.

And some of my ideas, at least attain a level of stupidity and/or naivete so stunning as can only be considered a form of poetry. Of the gods. Or not. For that matter, what about a Halfbakery bakery, where idea-readings take the place of scary/crappy poetry readings?-- cloudface, Sep 09 2003 Half-Baked http://web.archive....ers_27_20ConventionThough this particular idea is long gone. [DrCurry, Oct 21 2004] What would they serve at the buffet, halfbaked croissants and fishbones?What would the attendees drink Half & Half? Would there be troll detectors at the entrance?I think there are some serious organizational problems to be solved, but it could be fun.-- kbecker, Sep 09 2003 God, why would anyone want to do that? It'll never happen.-- waugsqueke, Sep 09 2003 Tried this one. I couldn't find any nearby Halfbakers, so I made my own out of balloons, rags and old scraps of wood.
