Have you guys seen this yet? They’re having an Office convention in Scranton, Pennsylvania, October 26-28! I’m so excited!!!!!!!

Here’s the scoop: If you guys click on The Office Convention website you can get all the information for this awesome convention. I’m actually thinking of attending because I’ve never been to anything like this. I imagine it’ll be like a Star Trek convention, only with The Office. In the same breath, I’ve never felt like more of a nerd than I do now, but I love it! Say what you will.

The convention will have its kick-off at the Scranton Radisson on Friday; then a street fair on Saturday, followed by the Office Olympics; and for the Saturday night closer: a favorite character Halloween party at night. Brilliant.

Sunday has the same sort of events, like a “Dunder Mifflin Stockholders Meeting”, an awards ceremony, etc…

Other things to do while you’re there:

Go to the local theaters because they will be screening Office episodes all weekend long; or take a trolley ride to check out familiar Scranton sites.

I know, I know; for some of you this sounds like watching paint dry. But, to the rest of us it’s like going to the “99 Cent” store with $20.00. One would call another rich with that kind of money in that store.

The convention hasn’t confirmed which of the cast members will be there, but I’ll keep you guys posted if there is any interest!

Btw, do any of our readers that live in Scranton have an opinion about this thing coming to town? I’m curious as to what the attitude around town is.

    It’s not an Office convention without an awards show at Chili’s. Or something involving Chili’s. Come ON!

    I’m from Scranton, Pa and had no idea this was going on! I’m very excited. People in Scranton embrace the whole Office thing like you wouldn’t believe.

    I know that Rainn Wilson (whom I have a big crush on–I know that’s weird) came to the Steamtown Mall in Scranton last year, and was very well-received.

    I work for a film festival in Chicago, and that’s the exact weekend of it. Otherwise I’d totally be at this convention.

    And FYI, there’s not an actual Chili’s in Scranton. Unfortunately. :(

    bummer, as I was writing that I was thinking to myself…I better research if there is an actual Chili’s. And, of course my lazy ass didn’t…AAANNND there is no Chili’s. ha. My life story.

    Have fun at the Film Festival. I think Vegoose is also that weekend if I’m not mistaken. So much going on! They must have had a convention/festival sale or something. :-)
