I would once again like to pimp the fact that we will be featured panelists this weekend at Genericon 2011 at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. I feel very privileged that we were asked to present panels due in part to our good friend Evan Minto. We will be talking alongside the AWO crew, the Ninja Consultants, Ed Chavez, and many more stellar and experienced speakers so there should be an overwhelmingly good set of panels this weekend. If you have the chance I hope to see a few of our readers at our panels or wandering around the convention. I know I will be wearing my newly obtained Fate/Zero shirt with Saber and Irisviel on Saturday if nothing else identifies me other than my “unique” voice.
This will be my first time attending a college convention, surprising as that may be. I really have no idea what to expect which makes it rather exciting. Genericon is filled with a lot of people I’ve become close acquaintances with over the last couple of years so that pretty much assures a lot of good content panel-wise and a lot of good conversations personal-wise. We are debuting some new panels at Genericon (so wish us luck!) and hope to expand our offerings for more cons this season as well. And with our new mixer intoe we should be doing some recordings over the weekend as well.
