Any of you gulls already working on your cosplays?
Why haven't they approved any panels? San Japan is sending panel approval out today and they are a month later.
No music guest announced. All signs says there won't be one.

They've been approving panels little by little.
>>9059409
Yeah. I think they make the schedule as the add panels so it's a gradual process rather than all at once.
I hope the yuri panel gets approved. I feel like yuri is really underappreciated. There's a whole con for yaoi, but nothing for yuri. Sigh. Anyway, hopefully I can work on my cosplays soon. I've been really busy with my courseload lately.
>>9059409
They need to fucking email panelists then. I logged in today to see mine had all been approved but I still haven't said 2 words to programming.
Glad to see Swap Meet got approved. I have so much shit to get rid of.
>>9059530
It's being run by Jebus so dont expect quality
I'M MR MESEEKS LOOK AT ME AT AFEST
>>9059534
Yeah, he literally didn't even show for the swap he "ran" at my local con.
>>9059556
If it was that shitty small con in midland, I don't blame him. A friend of mine told me about it so I traveled from Dallas to check it out. Worst mistake of my life.

Hi Stefan! Got any more Orlando shooting jokes to share with us?
>>9059573
And thread is ruined.
>>9059576
HAH!
>>9059092
Their panel approval process is weird to me. Do you actually have to have purchased a badge to vote on panels or just have an account on animefest.org?
>>9059576
Nah, just ignore em
>>9060003
You actually have to purchase a badge.
Except I have an artist alley badge but the system still thinks I haven't purchased one...
>>9060072
I get why they would want people to have a badge first to vote on panels but have there been a lot of people that already bought their badges? Seems like it limits the voting pool a whole lot.
>>9060097
From a business perspective it makes sense to value the opinion of those who have actually committed to coming to the event with money over those who have only given their word (at best).
>>9060373
Agreed. The way Animefest is now is "you want to see this panel? Speak with your wallet, not your mouth".
>>9060396
No wonder Homestuck and MLP panels keep getting approved.
I'm getting my Frank West cosplay together becuase. My panel got approved and i'm nervous, it's gonna be my 1st time hosting a panel. Any tips on how to be a good panel?
>>9061212
Don't act like a faggot and give them a show. Remember, they came to your panel on their own.
>>9061352
Thanks man, I signed up to do a panel becuase I felt like it would be really cool.
I really hope people come to my panel though.
>>9061420
Which panel if you don't mind me asking? Different types of panels may have different suggestions or things you may not think about
>>9061523
Oh, I'm running the Photography with frank west panel, I'm pretty excited to make a few jokes and talk about how to actually take a photo.
>>9061528
That sounds nice. Maybe I'll take you up on joining.
Also, Afest has announced that no more panels will be accepted due to them wanting more workshops added in.
>>9061613
Thanks for the thought of joining man!
I'm probally gonna mess up and look like a fool, but it's all worth it if people like it.
>>9061212
Plan and rehearse ahead of time and I think you'll do great. Good luck on your first panel!
>>9061670
Thanks for the advice man! Really means alot.
>>9061212
