Intro to Martial Arts Cinema is my bread and butter panel that is for sure my most popular. But I have done it the past two cons so I just figured you guys where not so hot on the same panel running three times in a row. It's all good, just give me more time to re-vamp it.
You are exactly right!! I was going for a little variety this year while limiting repeat panels. We don't want to get stale and boring.
You see the same people going to panels year after year. You need to give a variety. I'd also put the average age of "That guy who is at ever panel" to be greater then 5 years older then the average attendee. And those kids screaming for more Homestuck would only be going to panels on Homestuck and ignoring the rest of the programming.
Guest panels are more popular then any fan panels. Guest get priority at Every*con. Doug Walker is most popular.
Hot topics and people change from year to year. Eventually today's Homestuck kids will be annoyed by with the next big fad. Tall Naruto is now Tall Gambit.
Not necessarily, A lot of Guest Panels do not get as many people as you would think. Think Uber Famous Japanese Director and some random English voice actor. You'll find that the Homestuck panel and the random English Voice Actor blow the Japanese guest out of the water.
Last year, Sarah and I were only able to get into about 1 out of 2 panels we found interesting, so I'm encouraged by the news that the panel rooms are larger this year. Too bad that means fewer panels, but you can't have everything.
I think I'm kinda too old and curmudgeonly for CT-con, I need to work on that. I had way more fun as an AC vendor two years ago than as an attendee last year, although last year WAS still fun. The problem with doing AC is that I haven't got anybody to "mind the store" for me so I end up shackled to my table for the entire weekend, which is a bummer now that I've "discovered" panels.
Woe betide those of you that will be working the hall with Doug Walker's panels. I'll probably be working them with you
Doug is in Main Events & Special Events. Unless he joins the CAH game, he won't be in our hallways.
However, in Riverside hallway, there will be panels with the original Black Power Ranger, and Atreyu & Falkor. Get ready.
Damn you and your geographical distance. I've had a crush on Atreyu for the past 20-odd years. Have also been scarred by Artax's death all that time too. Falkor is the boss.
I'm getting excited about this CTcon way earlier then normal. I just realized that not only do we have Thursday night panels at Conneticon, but we have a FULL line on Friday starting at 8AM. That's a lot of stuff o.o

Got the staff schedule. Would be nice to have evenings off but I'm not expecting that to pan out. :P Will take my dinner at 5 though.

You said you wanted to cash in on your beer tab. You also have a panel at 5:30 on Friday. Hence, the morning shift.

I did say that, just not expecting it to actually happen. But maybe Line Ops will be awesome and we'll be able to relax a little more this year.
For what it's worth, I think the font used in the day headings makes it a smidge difficult to read the dates. Mostly the fact that 1 looks an awful lot like an I.

I am going to call the mystery opponent to be Ross aka the blue jacketed commentator.
And hotels rooms were finalized just this week.
Has anyone had the wings at Blackbear Saloon?
