Looking Forward

[brak666]

I'm looking forward to next weekend, because my parents won't be away and I can do something other than watch their dog (which I don't mind doing, but this is two weekends in a row now). I think I'll try to see RENT

I'm really looking forward to ConneXions. I had such a blast last year even if I did end up with the Martian Death Flu. I'm moderating the LJ panel and I really should e-mail my co moderator at some point to figure out what he wants to discuss.

Actually y'all can help me. The topic is "How to best use your LJ in the service of fandom" Any suggestions?

The banquet will be cool. All these posts from people intending to dress up have me wanting to buy a new shirt.

But what I'm looking forward to most is meeting Ker's baby. Yes, I'm very excited about that.

I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow, but I am looking forward to getting paid this week.

Panel suggestions

Since I suggested the topic, but wasn't sure I was going to be at ConneXions, I feel compelled to offer a few suggestions. The topic could be fandom as in individual fandoms or Fandom as a whole.

On the individual fandom side, one could pimp one's fandom continuously, like you and bettyp have month's devoted to your people. Or one can do detailed recommendations or essays. For little known shows, maybe recaps to point out the fannish aspects. Good websites or character sightings can be pointed out. Maybe you can print out examples to show.

On Fandom, one could examine whatever the lastest kerfuffle is in the context of what it means to Fandom. Or just do various personal entries on what fandom means. Metablog is a source for examples.

You could discuss whether metablog and fandom_wank are helping fandom, but that could get fractious really fast.€

Thanks for the ideas. Will you be at ConneXions?

I'll be there on Saturday definitely. Friday is iffy. Sunday, not at all.

It'll be Cory's second convention. Her first one was Farpoint -- I've got pictures of her with all of the Alien Nation guests. A very easy task since she's a little flirt. She doesn't even talk in a recognizable language yet, but she gets them in her sites and people turn into silly putty. ; )
