The Orlando Dariacon 2008 is planned to be the first major gathering of Daria fans. The goal of the con is to have as many Daria fans meet in person as possible, not simply across the United States but across the world, making it the most ambitious meeting of its type.

Time and Location

March 1st and 2nd, 2008
La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West
7931 Daetwyler Drive
Orlando, FL 32812
Phone:  (407) 857-9215

Less than three miles from Orlando International Airport and easy access to the Orlando area attractions and an easy daytrip to the Atlantic or Gulf coast beaches.

Convention membership

The event is free of charge.

History

Schedule of events

Tom Sloane - Why? discussion lead by Brother Grimace
"What were we thinking of?" discussion of Fanfiction writing and trends
The musician jam session organized by Deref
What is the proper chronology of Season 5 discussion lead by Dennis
The obligatory Pizza dinner
A physical display of fan art
Lawndale Monopoly?
Character standup giveaway (with luck, we will have some "life size" chacter standups in the meeting room that will be given away by lottery at the end of the convention)

External trips to a beach and other tourist destinations probable.

Otherwise, we'll probably just keep things loose.

Several people have suggested lengthening the convention, or at least their time in Florida, to allow them to hang out and do the other things that they want to do.

Road/Rail Trip

Several convetioners including Scissors McGee, Deref, MartinUK, Redleg Rick. HelfulSkittlesExplosion, Kinetic Booger and others are planning a road/rail trip, starting in Boston MA and travelling through NYC, to get to Florida for the convention. The intention is to collect conventioners along the way and to have as much fun getting there are as being there. Details will be posted as they're developed. Currently the consensus seems to be to travel by rail from Boston to NYC and from there (or farther south) to rent a people mover and drive the rest of the way.
