We all know about anime conventions. It’s where overweight nerds gather to talk about the plot intricacies of their Chinese little girl cartoons, and to argue about which googly-eyed anime girl is the cutest.
What if we had an “Aminu Convention”? How sick would that be? Instead of a bunch of guys dressed up like Bleach characters running around displaying super-Saiyan levels of nerditude, it would be only the most ardent fans of Al-Farouq Aminu, gathered in a gentlemanly fashion to discuss their favorite NBA star.
Don’t try to talk me out of organizing this thing. I already rented out a convention center in LA. I had to borrow a lot of money from parents; just telling that I had cancer and needed chemo convinced them to give me enough money to cover the deposit on the convention center. So the first-ever “Aminu Convention” will be taking place in the spring, after it has become clear that Aminu is the future of the Mavs franchise and is the premier two-way player in the Western Conference. Tickets are tentatively priced at 5,000 bucks, because you really aren’t going to get this kind of high-level discussion about Al-Farouq Aminu anywhere else.
I really hope this idea works out. My landlord keeps talking about “eviction”, whatever that is.
