Anime North. Day 1
May. 23rd, 2009 01:36 amI was only there today for one panel, on Game Writing, at 11 PM. I got there around 9 and took a few photos. I ran into
dhstein and her sister, and had a drink with them in the relative quiet of the hotel bar. Then, on to the panel!
jesshartley,
eyebeams, and Jonathan Lavallee were my fellow panellists. No one expected there to be many people in attendance. Yet, the room was well-filled. We had about 40 people there, even at that late hour, and the panel ended before the questions did. Afterward, Jess was mobbed by a little knot of fans, as were Malcolm and Jonathan...
And I got stopped by an actual, living fan of Albedo: Platinum Catalyst who was thrilled to see me, and arranged to meet me tomorrow so I can autograph his book. And then another fellow approached me to ask some follow-up questions, and I heard people raving about how informative we were, afterward in the hallway.
Good stuff!

dhstein, in her con hat, and her sister.

Catgirls in school uniforms! Yaaay!

A big yellow worm dude!

An aquatic elf, playing a flute. She was good!

Getting married?

Jonathan, after the panel.

Jonathan's daughter fell asleep at the base of the panel stage, using a stack of "Babymouse" comics as a pillow.

The con is close to my old haunt, the Steak Queen. I didn't go in. Really.
