Just a note that the next Zenkaikon is March 18-20th (we have a MUCH larger space and three days).

If you're interested in running a panel please check out the Panel Registration area (Note: I am the head of panels for Zenkaikon).

We are interested in Gaming and Sci-fi related Panels as we start to branch into those areas.

    This is the only date on my calendar in 2011. Hope this doesn't interfere with PAX East.

    PAX East is the week before Zenkaikon this year, so we're going to make it a busy week ^_^

    This time I'm going to make it my duty to go this time. No more school in my goddamn way.
  • AprecheApreche
    Wait, so Zenkaikon skipped 2010?
  • CremlianCremlian
    yea we did this to secure a space 3 or 4 times the size.
  • KirsehnKirsehn
    Well, if you want to be technical, it's actually only four months later than last year, not a whole skipped year :)

    I have not trekked in the anime convention route, however I might attend this and do a panel submission as well.

    As the head of live programming I can set you up.
  • CremlianCremlian
    Just a note, that the panel deadline is coming up soon.

    Rym could you PM me with panels you might want to run? I'll be sure to give you great panel times ^_^

    Did I already send through the panels I wanna run?

    I know I signed up to guest, but not sure if I submitted panels.
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    Yes, did he send in the panels I wanna co-panel with.

    So the week after PAXeast is Zenkaikon (March 18-20), out in Valley Forge. (Zenkaikon) It's an small (about 3-5k people) anime/sci-fi/gaming convention. I'm the head of panels and Your mom is the treasurer/Head of Con Operations. If you are looking for a more intimate con going experience, this is a good option plus it tends to have a lot of first year con goers attending. This year we expanded into the actual convention center with three times the space and have two rooms devoted to Board gaming with a gaming library. See the website for more details.

    Uncle Yo:
    Friday 5PM-6PM: Uncle Yo-Stand Up for Geeks
    Saturday 2:15-3:15PM HP Lovecraft-Legacy of Tentacles (with CJ Henderson)
    Saturday 10:30-11:45Pm: Anime One Night Stands

    Geeknights (Rym and Scott)
    Saturday 4:15-5:15PM: Losing Should be Fun
    Saturday 7-8PM: Beyond Naruto
    Sunday 1:45-2:45 Beyond Dungeons and Dragons

    And Possibly Fast Karate for the Gentlemen
    If Dave gets back to me I have a nice time slot open for him 4:45-5:45 on Saturday for a Panel for him if they confirm (otherwise it might be a fill in slot)....

  • CremlianCremlian
    wait a minute, who submitted Beyond D&D;: Yo or Scrym?

    I completely re-wrote it. This is our test run before its debut at PAX Prime or the Bitch PAX 2012.
  • CremlianCremlian
    So Scott Rubin is now the Scott the Bitch and I'm Scott Prime.
  • ColdguyColdguy
    This is the week after PAX, I normally do not go to non gaming cons, but this tickles my fancy
  • RymRym
    It's a growing anime con run partly by smart FRC types. ;^) It had replaced Katsucon for me by and large.

    WE will try our best next year to not be the freaking week after PAX... talk about a rough week :-p

    We are nowhere near the cool that Katsucon was in it's glory days, but we are getting there.

    Just yesterday I saw someone really familiar when I was walking down into the subway on my way home from work. Just now I realized, I'm 90% sure it was CJ Henderson.

    Pretty much my whole anime club is going this year so I gave into the peer pressure and decided to go. So I will also be doing the PAX East / Zenkaikon week also. And while I will be going to the "The Wild World of Go Nagai" panel I am a bit sad to see someone got to the topic before I did.
  • CremlianCremlian
    Are you in the Philly area? Which Anime club?
  • BrandBrand
    Network of Reading Otakus

    It's in the greater Philly area in Reading, PA. I'd say a normal meeting has 15-20 people. Though it could also easily be called the Anime and Silly Internet Videos Club. We watch a lot of AMVs and other internet videos, plus just mess around a lot. If you really want to check out an anime club, and are not to afraid to come to Reading, it is totally worth it.
