The big boys and girls of sing.ah.pore blogosphere are planning to hold a convention for Bloggers sometime in July. The are calling out to the community at tomorrow dot sg to think of a name for the meet up. Many people have added comments, there are quite a few suggestions, quite a few duplicates.

Personally, i think a short and catchy name would work best. For example, Singapore Blogger's Convention. Such a name is self explanatory, easy to acronym, easy to remember, and easy to reference. Like "SgBC 2005". Why use a catchy name? Why not use something like, "We tried to think of a name but we couldn't decide on one so we are calling this just Bloggers meeting." Such a name is catchy for awhile. But everybody would just give a name they feel fitting when talking about it rather than using the full actual name.

Sing.ah.poreans are very fond of making acronyms, doesn't matter if it is appropriate and some don't even bother to differentiate between speaking and writing. WTTTOANBWCDOOSWACTJBM, is not a very good to remember acronym.

Also i do believe that more than just bloggers would turn up. Blogders, fans and probably gahmen spies in the form of plain clothes 'mata' would turn up too. I could imagine such a meeting, with a long banner (in addition to the chosen name) proclaiming "Why are you worshipping the ground we blog on?" (This was proposed in one of the comments at tomorrow dot sg). Aside from that, maybe there'll be handouts of balloons with HCL, H2SO4 (not sure if i got the chemicals correct anot, its been awhile) printed on it.

And we probably should have mascots in pink, blue and yellow cow suits, T-shirts with words like "@#$%^&*, I didn't snatch your taxi!" and probably end off with a group photo of the largest sexyblogger project.

But i guess the biggest setback to such a proposed gathering (with t-shirts, mascots, balloons and all) is funding.
