I think it might be! But things like this take a heck of a lot of planning and preparation! Where should it be held? I was thinking that an abandoned mental asylum could be a great place to use, but where? Who should we invite as guest speakers? I reckon Robin Williams is a must and a few incoherent street drunks would probably serve us well too! (We could start a discussion panel with them!) And the most important question of all, do we bring our pandas or do we leave them at home and go it alone? Well, we'll be TOGETHER as a collective of panda spanker's, but you get what I mean! Can we even hold a successful Panda Spanking Convention without pandas to spank? The more I think on things, the more I realise that there's much to do! Any ideas?

Consider yourself picked Stormy! Not only do I feel that you're perfect for a speaking role, I reckon I'll save a motzah on sound equipment too! Someone with your personality sure as heck won't need a microphone, spotlight or speakers!

Oooh ooooh ooooh! Pick me Mistah Kotter!  - Here's a flash from the past--Horseshack from Mr. Kotter's class! Remember the skinny little guy with the big nose that always stuck his hand up high and would cry out, "Oooooh! Oooooh! Oooooh!" and beg Mr. Kotter to call on him. Mr. Kotter's class was full of misfits, but it did bring us the most famous alum, John 'Vinnie Barbarino' Travolta!
Now why am I getting images of Arnold from Welcome Back Kotter? I'm thinking you've got to be cuter than him! But remember Vinnie Barbarino and those skin tight bell bottoms!

Dear Mr James Kudos to you and this would be another feather to your cap. Time and again you have shown indepth contribution to the Panda Spanking Club and being a life time member you have always kept the gravity of it going. This time being no exception, I would like you to be the in house speaker together with guests like Robin Williams 9your recommendation) and Steve Martin ( self nominated). As to plans and schedules, I think we will go by you, as seconds. there is no question of leaving the Pandas home. How can the show go then? I assure you to help in looking after the fun fiesta of the elite Pandas. They are fond of hazel nut coffees with generous mix of lama milk. I will make sure it reaches us here from the land of Incas promptly. I take great pride in being a member of the club. looking forward to the Dday. Together we can make a difference and together we will. Sincerely Mimpi Dated: 11 May 2009 9-49 PM IST

How formal! It appears we've found our Treasurer, Panda Wrangler and Operations Manager all in one! Steve Martin is an excellent choice I must say. I think if I was to speak at the event too, rather than prattle on with a speech and bore people, I'd much prefer to laugh maniacally and uncontrollably into a microphone while harpsichord music interspersed with panda crooning played softly in the background. I don't know about you, but to me this sounds like it would have a solid ZEN aura about it! Your ongoing dedication to the cause is as always greatly appreciated mimpi.

How do you go to a panda spanking convention without pandas ? Robin Williams would be great. A lot more i could think of. I think we need some ex politicians. We need the Kiss band to perform and we need the monks. It's an open arena convention in natural surroundings. Lots of bamboo out there. There's more to come, so here is to Spankorama 2010.

Good God, how could I have not mentioned KISS and the Monks??? It's a good thing I asked for help then isn't it? I know it'll be a strange event without the pandas, but I have serious concerns about quarantine laws. We ARE a non-profit, so bribes of officials can only be undertaken to a point. I do like the sounds of an open arena! Maybe it should be held in a huge bamboo forest with a cleared centre? Spankorama 2010, be there or be square!

Well now for some of the out door activities The open air is required. We need an echo valley. How else do all of them get to scream thier lungs ou. We need old refrigators, old junk anything actally and a big hammer. Pulverise all that. We need chooclates, coffee, anything which adds to the whackiness of the members On the indoor programs, we need to have an opening speech, delivered of course by the leader,,ahem, ahem that's you of course.. Will keep adding James, let the ideas keep flowing

You have a great memory Alok! Yes, a field full of smashable items is an absolute MUST! I like the echo angle too actually. We could hurl teasing and sarcastic comments into the air and have them come back and insult ourselves. I was thinking we should have an inflatable jumping castle too, but this time it would be adult sized and in the shape of the Great Wall of China! Oooooooh and the only way you're allowed to travel around the convention is by driving a bumper car!

I love Robin Williams! How about Billy Crystal as well? I guess a old abandoned asylum would be appropriate. Where would be the problem especially since we are all scattered allover..so might have to be a tour thing. I like the Kiss group as well but how about Ozzy Osbourne and his family? Well, might as well bring the pandas let them visit each other while we carry on our own merry way. What about foods and refreshments? Is it a potluck or what? Do we decorate? Is it a former or casual convention? I second the vote on Stormy being a speaker..I also nominate you and P1kef1sh as well.

With all these artists on the cards we may have to start a spin-off event. We could call it "PandaStock" and really have things go wild! You wear clothes then, which is probably a good idea because we can't have all these people getting too excited!

Oh my goodness, absolutely perfect idea here Becca! Robin Williams AND Billy Crystal together would be an absolute riot! Ozzy Osbourne and his family would fit in very well too, so I might extend them an invitation and if we're lucky, there could end up a double billing and he and KISS could totally rock the house! As for catering, if the panda's had their way it would be bamboo EVERYTHING, but of course we're not going to allow this to happen. I was thinkiong of an all you can eat buffet made up entirely of gummi bears and chocolate. The more sugar the better I reckon! Your votes are of course counted and acknowledged. Storny, Mr Pike and myself will speak so far and I'll also talk to them both about us possibly doing a musical number as well. By the way, the convention will be casual attire or no attire at all. Your choice!

Oh my goodness, I don't know if there's any more abandoned mental asylums around here, but we had one of the best haunted houses in one (http://www.opacity.us/articles/article43_byberrys_long_goodbye.htm) at Byberry...a REALLY frightening place in Northeast Philadelphia! I'm sure there's plenty of burned out shells in Camden, NJ--just got to watch the dealers to make sure we're not interfering with their activities...and I bet we could pick up some drunks there too! But then there's Eastern State Penitentiary http://missioncreep.com/mw/estate.html, a VERY famous 19th century prison located in Philadelphia. I don't think the party would be the same without our pandas...and it might cut out some accidental drunken gropings and hookups with our winos! But when were you looking to have this--obviously a lot's involved and we need to hurry--any decrept buildings are liable to cave in any day now! I'd love to help, but I'm in the midst of school, job reassignment, and reunion planning of adults that were once awkward teenagers on the brink of adulthood twenty years ago, so I'm stretched kinda thin.

Excellent locations here scorpio! Do you think we should be looking ot scare people THAT badly though? If we go with one of these sites, we'd better stock up on the adult sized pampers just in case! I like the sounds of the penitentiary most of all 'cos we can use the cells to keep the pandas safe at night. I appreciate your concerns about wino/panda hook-ups too. The last thing we need are little hairy black and white hybrids running around with dependency withdrawal symptoms. That'd kinda be like a whole bunch of midget Michael Jackson's without any musical ability and this freaks me out to be honest. I'm thinking of holding the even in June/July 2010, so hopefully your schedule will be a bit clearer by then. Let's see!

Michael Jackson/panda hookup results? Would they even have any black? And what about their cute little muzzles--will they be falling off due to excessive plastic surgeries gone wrong? And my schedule is looking better, but I WAS hoping that I'd have better news on the personal front--instead it looks as though you'll have to protect MY fine self from the winos since I'll prolly be going stag to the event.

You'll be protected scorpio, don't you worry about that! AS for the muzzles, this honestly won't even be necessary. The panda's are ruled with iron palms of spankinicity and they know it! There's always been a quid pro quo with these guys anyway and they're eternally grateful for the attention. They won't step out of line, of this I'm sure! As for the Michael Jackson look-alike hybrids, IF it came to this, we could trap them all using a fake amusement park and go from there. I doubt it'll be too much of a challenge.

Oh Oh Oh! What should I wear???My purple shoes just won't match with my Cruella De Ville Panda Furcoat! I hope it's BYOB (Bring your own Bamboo), coz I don't really wanna share. I told you many times James, Michael Jackson became an official Panda Spanker the moment he decided to be white leaving his underneath-the-briefs as is color-wise. He'd be an icon to watch out for singing side by side with Robin Williams, the latter doing the sundance this time. Too much chit-chat.Gotta run and shop!

Good luck wearing a panda fur coat at THIS convention Theresa! I'd bring along a team of ex-Marines to protect you if you do decide to go down this path 'cos the crowds will lynch you for sure. And then there's what the panda's will do to ya also! You can BYOB though if you like, but there'll be plenty of it at the event also. As for Michael Jackson, I think he'd be a wonderful addition to the line-up, but first I need to confirm how many kids will be attending because if there are aren't enough of 'em to take MJ down if he misbheaves, we might have to leave him out this time around. Have fun shopping and for God's sake, buy a fur coat that's NOT panda!

As long as it's clearly labelled as such, you should be fine. If anyone gets even the SLIGHTEST impression that it's panda fur, you're in deep doo-doo, so be careful!

Convection? Are we talking fans or an oven here Mable? Kingsley Tanner is more than welcome I say, because the greater the number of guest speakers, the longer we can make the CONVENTION! I'm appreciating this generous nature too by the way but I AM curious. Did you bang your head again or something?

What I was thinbking is that we could have all these different rooms and eqach one of them could have their own music playing! Psychedelic 60's can definitely be one of the themes, so consider it done! As for the electro-shock machines, given some of the panda spankers we'll have attending, I hope to God they have them too! We WILL be bringing the panda's by the way, I just have to work out the quarantine angle is all.

I plan to frequent ALL the rooms actually, but I'll be spending a considerable amount of time in the 80's and Rock rooms for sure! Finding a country with relaxed quarantine lawsis the way to go and I'm thinking China because all pandas come from there originally anyway. I'm still looking into it, so fingers crossed! I have to head off to bed now my potty friend. Good night and happy spanking!

The quarentine angle could narrow it down to the country we would have to have it. See it as a positive. :) Oohhhh, really like the multiroom music theme idea. Where do you suppose you will be hanging out?

Hi there James. I believe that it is indeed a good year for a Panda Spanking Convention as this trend is slowly gathering more followers, as the numbers are heading for the first 1000. PS: i manage to create a site for us... don't know how to add contents on it though... http://www.panda-spanking.co.cc/ Just a joke to make you guys laugh ^_^ [i]A 100 years ago, they said that when a black man became president, pigs would fly.

Hahahahahahaha great joke! Every year's a good year fro panda spanking if you ask me! And well done on creating the panda spanking url too! I've registered the domain name pandaspanking.com for 3 years myself, but I keep getting sidetracked and I also have an issue with time to do something worthwhile with it. Teaching myself how to do web design would probably be a damn good start also. So what ideas did you have in mind for the site then?

Well, if anyone's up to the task of organising such an event, it must be you O Great One! Maybe you could arrange a supervised "panda creche" with climbing frames, bouncy castles and ball pools ? They should of course, be given bamboo biscuits/cookies (depending on their homeland) and milk mid-morning and have little matresses for their afternoon nap. Everyone could take turns at reading the bedtime story ( after the pandas' bathtime & spanky session). I'm sure Eddie Izzard would be up for giving a speech. I dont mind where it is as long as its far enough away that I cant get home & will have to sleep over (I deserve a holiday!!) I'll bring the rest of my gold glitter and I have some balloons, serviettes and paper plates I'd be prepared to donate.

Eddie Izzard's bee duly added to the speaking agenda and we'll be sure to hold this event in a location that gives ypou a chance to get yourself some distance from your hallway dancing, stained sheets and bed pans. lol. The donations are greatly appreciated too. Keep this up and there'll be a ribbon cutting moment in there somewhere for ya!

Oh Mathss, Mathss, Mathss..... Do you honestly think that I haven't covered this angle already? The WWF for one have been on my under-the-table payroll since the day we started; and the panda's themselves need to actually testify in a negative way for anything to be proven and that just ain't gonna happen! I'll take your word for it on the insanity front, which of course means that your request to speak is an absolute given! Try to wear clothing this time around though because we still have 50% of last year's audience in counselling and it's becoming rather expensive. Seriously, do you have any idea what it's like to have to listen to thousands of people scream "My eyes..... MY EYES!" over and over again? Please pass on my regards to the Atlantis crowd and I hope they fixed that plumbing problem.
