40 things in the 2011 long island garfield gathering promo video

lets be real, likely nobody will read this and even less likely anyone will care, so there's no way we'll get to 100 but whatever, i love this video. i downloaded it to my dropbox to ensure i can always see it when i need to

1. the crosshairs maneuvering over the image of garfield merch

2. plaid odie?

3. the unenthused reading of 'exciting plaaacess....'

4. statue of liberty wipe/transition to segue into long island footage

5. abrupt transition to string ensemble to establish the class of the hyatt

6. do people have time for volleyball, basketball, and tennis while at gar-fest?

7. the first invocation of any garfield-adjacent humor after two minutes in with the mention of the gym

8. amusement park as a 'quick escape', shouldn't one be enjoying the convention?

idk sorry i am weirdly fascinated with this video and the entire concept of a garfield con

9. the zoom towards the umbrella at the end of the tennis court footage

10. "Minutes away from New York City". Maybe by helicopter, my dude.

11. Video used to sterilize sex offenders.

12. What's with all the accordion?

13. FYI, Adventureland is the amusement park from the movie Good Time.

this is everything i ever wanted from a garfield convention and so much more

14. cgi shark attack!!!

15. the enthused fan holding up 2 garfield-themed pet food dishes

16. followed immediately by another enthused fan holding up 2 garfield-themed pet food dishes

17. the pointed absence of garfield fursuits when you know, you know, that this is all a front for some deeply kinky mass roleplay

being into garfield is like being a disney fan but just because of mickey mouse, that's what i find so interesting, there are so few elements to the strip, it's a total void for producing merchandise

18. garfield FIRE TRUCK?

19. pointing out the marina is celebrating its 10th year in business for some reason, they have nothing else to say i suppose

20. the kids at 2:50 are openly in a location marked "RESTRICTED AREA"

i think you hit everything, but this is great stuff

21. lingering on "atlantis marine world" without comment, presumably for an applause break

22. Disco Inferno water sounds over the atlantis marine world groove

23. the backing track over the marineworld segment could be a youtube posted to the vancouver -> melbourne connection thread
24. "on long island," like it's some kind of island paradise.
25. "minutes from new york," like a significant chunk of new york isn't also on long island.

9. the zoom towards the umbrella at the end of the tennis court footage

14. cgi shark attack!!!

These two killed me.

26. "There are piranhaaaaas"

27. implied gar-sex

garfield is threatening to become a zoomer meme, so uncool that he's becoming cool. this video reminds me of the my little pony fans right before bronies became a thing.

28. Pretty sure the narrator says "Regency" with a hard G.

29. The MIDI Brandenburg Concerto in a Rock style

30. No contact details?

31. (Long shot of children wading in a river while the handheld camera awkwardly zooms in and out) "And who can resist the charms of a sea lion show?"

15. the enthused fan holding up 2 garfield-themed pet food dishes

32. the guy in a stetson hat indoors who appears in the background of these two images

33. "if you love Garfield, I mean if you REALLY love Garfield"

1. the crosshairs maneuvering over the image of garfield merch

34. the fact that the Garfield doll on the bottom left here is so poorly made that what are supposed to be his ears make it look like he has a monobrow

35. the Garfield trainset the guy shown holding after "meet like minded fans an collectors" which I think is this

Garfield Gathering

The 2022 Garfield Gathering in Warwick, Rhode Island is in just 118 days! What type of Garfield fan are you?

A- The top Garfield fanatic
Is it June yet? Planned, time off from work and hotel room booked. I may or may not have already packed my suitcase. Mentally thinking- Did I pack enough Garfield t-shirts? Is there ever such a thing as too many? I have extra bags packed to bring home my loot.

B- The procrastinator Garfield junkie
I would like to attend. I just have to get my ducks, I mean cats, in a row. I will book my room soon- wait for me! There can't be room hopping without me! I need the rooms list! What room is Gary's?

C- The dreamer Garfield fan
I would love to attend, but....... I can't take time off from work, it's too far (I mean like, really far), I'm afraid of the travel costs (I need to know more details), I don't know anyone (come on, these are YOUR people), fill in the blanks _____________.

D- The lost Garfield boys
Garfield Gathering? Convention? Collectors meet and buy/sell/trade? How did I miss this?
