Zenkaikon 2009 November 7-8 Valley Forge (List of FRC run panels)
A bit late, but I realized there wasn't a public thread talking about the panels that Geeknights and the FRC are running at Zenkaikon in Valley Forge.
Zenkaikon schedule
Just a note if you plan to come, we are probably going to sell out... So pre-reg or show up early (Sunday has a full schedule through 6 so don't be afraid to just come for that!)
Moe Anthropomorphism-tan
Emily Compton & Katsunori Matsushita, Informative/Entertainment
The Japanese have a long tradition of attributing spiritual essense to everyday objects. From kitchen gods to Unix daemons, mechamusume to Hatsune Miku, there is a cute girl hiding in anything and everything if you just look hard enough. Why? How? Come and learn about the latest craze of Japanese fandom and its genesis. SUN, 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM, Panel 2
Geekology
Jessica Fiedor, Acedemic/Informative
Geeks and fans alike spend a great deal of time debating what it means to, well, be geeks and fans. Jess will bring an acedemic perspective to the debate with the unveiling of her nationally-presented research into this topic. SUN, 3:00 - 4:00 PM, Panel 2
Burning Wheel Game Demonstrations
Alex Jarocha-Ernst, Informative/Entertainment
SAT, 3:00 – 6:00 PM, Gaming Workshop
Anime You Should See
Rym DeCoster & Scott Rubin, Informative/Entertainment
You're an anime fan (or a parent/friend of an anime fan, at least), so chances are that you've seen an anime or two. But have you really seen enough to know what you like (or what's good)? Anime is not a genre, but a medium, and there are anime for all tastes. Come see all that anime has to offer, cover your bases, and learn that's it's not all big eyes, small mouths, and power levels over nine thousand. SAT, 7:15 – 8:15 PM, Panel 2
Beyond Dungeons & Dragons
Rym DeCoster & Scott Rubin, Informative/Entertainment
D&D is a great way to get into tabletop role playing games, and for most of us, it was our first foray into that world. As classic and dear to us as it is, however, it has certain limitations. If D&D was your first step, then we're here to give you your next. You've probably never heard of Dogs in the Vineyard, InSpectres, The Burning Wheel, or a whole host of other amazing games. Broaden your gaming horizons, flex your role-playing muscles, and learn what comes after. SUN, 9:00 – 10:00 AM, Panel 2
Anime Match Game
Rym DeCoster & Scott Rubin, Game Show
Based on the original 1970s Match Game, this game show features contestants selected from the audience attempting to match celebrities' always-entertaining answers to fill-in-the-blank questions. SAT, 8:30 – 10:00 PM, Panel 1
Kendo: The Way of the Sword
Katsunori Matsushita, Informative/Entertainment
Interested in Kendo? Want to see just what that wooden sword you bought in the dealer's room can do? Join Katsu as he explains the history, the culture, and the technique of “the way of the sword.” SUN, 9:30 -10:30 AM, Main Events

I'm the Otakon DJ from 08. I'm going to be the main rave DJ at Zenkaikon! So excited!
The track it is mashed with is Pendulum - 9,000 miles
Enjoy!
