Long continuity seems to be the fad of the day, and after a dozen years, I’ve seemed to reach my own Phase Three not too long ago. Now that I’m starting to consistently do heavier workloads for bigger conventions, it’s time to reassess the state of some of my programming. My recommendation panels are likely evergreen as new things come and go across my radar, but some of my how-to’s need to evolve if they are to stay in rotation. I wouldn’t necessarily call them reboots or sequels and they’re a little of both. But for sake of brevity, I really should consider them separate works. The problem is there’s only so much space to put things on this site while keeping things clean. That’s why any future panel spin-offs will be included on the page for the original panel, simply listed below with an updated description. Anime Midwest is going to be the first to get the full MCU experience with new variants of I Can Japan and The “How To Make A Panel” Workshop. In addition to those updates, I updated my resume to display my work history in a much nicer-looking tabular format. More updates and changes to come, as always. Excelsior!
Another convention announcement for you: I’ll be in the land of Wawas and Tastykakes once again as I do programming for Saikoucon. Last year it was one of my “If You Like” panels; this time it’ll be “I Can Japan (& So Can You)” which is all about how you can Japan, or at least how to travel there in a reasonable manor. As is custom, I’ll also be helping out Megaroad Toys so I’ll be free to chat if you’re not hitting the water park. 😉
Even though there will still be 4 months left to go, it’s been an odd year, albeit a successful one. This will be the sixth show I am doing programming at (and 7th overall), and while I will have only done 12 hours so far (I have done less than 12 hours once since 2010), I’ve done a lot of different programs. Just take a look.
That’s nine different panels out of eleven that I’ve done (Improv and AFC each ran 90 min.) I guess this is a good year to show the range of topics I can cover, and the final four months of the year may have even more, so stay tuned!
