Luvsbway Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 So I've been following this account that just popped up about a month ago on Instagram called LucyCon. It seems to be a a group of people putting together an LA based Lucy fan convention. I haven't been able to determine much about this as the webpage and IG account don't give me any details about it. So I don't want to knock an effort but we've been there and done this fantastically from 1996-2001. And on top of that conventions need those who are connected to the fandom, and participated in the world that it's about. Well about 75% of those people who did the panel discussions at the original Lucy conventions are dead or a heck of a lot older now. I want to know if and who they've talked to about participating in this. So what is this going to be? More of a comic con type thing were people walk around in costume and lots of merchandise dealers? And what new things is it going to do that isn't being done now or over the years at the Jamestown Lucy festivals? Sad to say but the ship has sailed on this type of event. I can get a 50's themed convention with a bit of Lucy but this seems to be all Lucy. Here is the link to the webpage on it. http://lucyconla.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Huh. Curious to find out more too. LOL, when I first read the thread title, I thought this would be describing an LA con artist passing herself off as Lucy or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a costume idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well intentioned, perhaps, but that website makes it look like a play just to get vintage furniture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd that is the first thing they are looking for. Maybe they are creating 50s land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeySanJoaquin Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 "Funny" or should I say suspect that the contact links don't really work and take you nowhere worth spit. While this doesn't sound totally "legit", I don't think it'd be a bad idea ultimately... Although so many of the "players" are now gone, aren't there enough fans with interest in the subject/Lady to make one more go of it, especially in LA where so many studios, locations, etc. where she worked, lived and played could be featured? I think so... and I hope I'm not in the minority! I'd love to see this come to fruition! I'd just love to know who's been back of all this!!

Luvsbway Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 New post on IG today that new details were coming very soon. The IG is very vague too, so I've got nothing to go on. Just popped up this month. Only about 100 followers. Not to toot my own horn but I'm closing in on 4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Please keep us posted, woman! Fascinating; and wondering if it's Tom W., and company. Perhaps, someone who is friendly with him could contact, and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, someone who is friendly with him could contact, and ask. It's not Tom. It seems to be a group of people in their 20s from what I can get off of one picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I want to believe this is being done with good intentions and isn't some sort of scam. Hope to learn more soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
