I see Weird Al's name pop up every year on this list when it comes to
guest suggestions, so I know there is interest in having him At
Penguicon...

Okay, so let's assume I have a way to indirectly contact Al. (Because
I do.) It would be an extreme long shot that he'd actually say yes
because although he's a friendly guy, he practically never makes any
sort of public appearance except to promote an album or Internet
auction site.

But barring that for a moment, the important question is, what would
we have him do at Penguicon? I mean, we can't ask him to perform, that
much is certain. What else could be used to draw him in? His music is
about all he's known for. "It's a lot of fun" probably won't cut it on
its own.

All constructive suggestions appreciated and if we can come up with
anything significant, I'll draft the invitation.
