It looks like I’m going to be the main panelist/moderator on the Classic Cartoons panel on the Anime/Animation track, the same track I helped to moderate back in 2004. The person who’s stepped up as coordinator is someone I ran into a few times when we were both students at Georgia Tech, so that kind of helps! I’ll have returned to the US just 2 weeks prior, so please forgive me if I have a deer-in-headlights expression on my face, but if you’re planning on attending, please come out and say hi!
(For those unaware, Dragon*Con is the largest science fiction and fantasy convention in the US. It takes place in downtown Atlanta every Labor Day weekend. I’m currently only planning on attending for a day, and just dropping in and out of Midtown to hang out with my friends who’re coming in for the convention, but that may change. A lot of people adore this convention, and I did attend from 2001 to 2004, but it’s always been a bit stressful for me–too many people in too small a space, especially in the lobbies of the Hyatt Regency and the Marriott Marquis in the evenings. We’ll see how this year goes.)
