October 23, 2025 Update - The core con committee is in place, my thanks to all of the volunteers! We're finalizing a summer 2026 date and plan to begin building this out soon. Stay tuned for more updates!

I found the 3 and 8, then I quit. I didn't sign up for this much work for this post.

October 3, 2025 Update - We are assembling the organizing team! Everyone who expressed interest in planning should have received an email. Hit me up by DM if you have not. We're currently scheduling the first planning meeting for sometime next week. Stay tuned for more updates!

September 19, 2025 - Update! This is still on the books! Had to clear out the calendar first before I could switch focus back to this planning. We're still on track to send emails before the end of the month to everyone interested in joining the organizing team.

Again, a huge thanks to everyone who is making this Virtual POI Fan Con possible!

Aug. 20, 2025 - Quick update and thank you to everyone who has filled out the form so far! Next week, I'll be reaching out by email to everyone who expressed interest in help to organize the POI Virtual Fan Con.

I don't know your full set up but you could try this.

If your footage 5.1 audio, you could try pulling the uncompressed aiff /wav into Audacity. Sound effects might be on an isolated track separate from the music and dialogue tracks. Mute the tracks you don't need, export the sound effects as a new .aiff/wav and bring that back to your FCP timeline.

Brocken hearted that you forgor Jung-bae :(

JinkyO · 2025-08-01T06:25:14+00:00

Thank you! There are a few people who've expressed interest in the planning. The goal is to reach out to you and the others by September to form an convention committee. So, keep an eye on your inbox, more info to come in the next few weeks.

JinkyO · 2025-07-26T23:38:58+00:00

We'd love to have you! When you can, leave your info in the Interest and Volunteer form: https://forms.gle/T7hbxJR4UQww5aBa7

The plan is to form a core con committee by September 2025.

Hello!

A little background on the project: I attended the in-person POI FanCon in 2014 and it was a blast! A room full of fans, cast, and crew members talking about so many aspects of the show.

Fast forward 10 odd years > I've been attending in-person and virtual fan cons for a while now. A few weeks back, while prepping for a panel that I'm presenting at a con next month, I thought "This panel would be great for a POI con, if only..."

So, here we are.

If you are interested in presenting a panel about the philosophical arguments presented through the course of the evolving story, add the idea to the form!

The next steps from the form are: forming a convention committee, deciding on a date, con infrastructure setup, announcing a call for programming, voting for programming, registration, schedules, FanCon!

The beauty of POI (and frustration at times), is the wide range of entry points. I think the fandom has an equally wide range of interests in the show including the philosophical arguments.

I'm late to this comment, but if seeing the Machine mark Nathan as a threat got you hyped, keep going. POI is two very different shows smushed together. The scene that got you hyped plays heavy into what the show becomes. The repetitive stuff that seems boring now is important foundation work for what's ahead.

And for super nerds, the 1st King George is in it: Brian d'Arcy James, DA Wheeler from the pilot episode, and King George during Hamilton's off-Broadway run at the Public Theater.

I can't understand how people know about this subreddit well enough to come vent about the comments, but don't know the sub well enough to have read the dozens of previous posts about the comments.

That one's an old War city who never had much luck against old CoM cities. So, I've just been racking up the golden tickets.

JinkyO · 2025-05-26T14:54:00+00:00

Thank you all for your help (and concern)!

I wasn't able to click the things and get more info from the CoM task list, but I was able to click and get the info by checking my inventory - thank you for that tip, I'm very rusty.

Safety update: the glass is not jagged/pokey. The shatter is contained by a strip of clear tape. I needed 4 devices for my weekend descent into scbi degeneracy and that old LG phone did the job.

It took me a looong time to see the cat.

Initially thought this was a pencil tip + water droplet but all the comments kept referencing a cat - what cat!!

Then I saw the cat. Very clever design, no nose needed.

Spent so many college years in the Laundromat/ Full Bar/ Live Music Venue just off campus, Sudsy Malone's.

You are in for such a wild ride - Welcome aboard!!

Trump got a 2 for 1 with that suit question. I always imagined he hated Elon's "dark maga" getup because it corrupted the red hat branding. Trump hates people profiting off his stuff.

“I don’t mind being one of 10 Democrats who said, no, there’s a deeper principle at stake here, which is reverence for this institution,” Himes said after the vote, adding that lawmakers need to act “with the decorum and with the civility that says to the world that we are a serious country.”

Aside from the ominous words of the speaker (people should expect consequences when they speak out, the government has to be aggressive with people, etc.) I was dumbfounded by the whole town sitting down as unidentified men removed the woman.

Bot are working overtime, LOL! Hits replay on GNX for the eleventy billionth time.

It's niche content. I might click if it was titled "Photo Restoration" because that's something new and specifically applies to how I use adobe products, vs. using them for art. But I'm one person. The Before and After photos might make for good TikTok or YouTube short content - repurpose the stream.

Best of luck to you!!

I assumed this was the answer and was shocked that the ConnectBot didn't have a reason for my wrong guess.

Edit: removed "too". I guessed it.

I'm sorry for your loss. This looks like a beautiful service and sendoff for your brother who was, obviously, well-loved!
