Connecticon Recap 1 – Panel Goodness
I’m going to be posting 2 or 3 different recaps of Connecticon, because it would not all fit in one post unless that post was really really long. Nobody wants that, so here we go. This one is all about Saturday, between 5pm and 8:30pm.
First up was a little event known as Super Art Fight. SAF has been a little project of mine and some local webcomics friends, and Connecticon was the biggest show yet. Through some sheer cohones and conniving on our part, we managed to get some of the most amazing webcomic artists in the biz, which was also a great chance to get to know some amazing webcomic artists that I hadn’t otherwise gotten to know. You can see all details in this post on the SAF site, and let us know if you have pics or video of the event. Or just let us know if you were there or heard about it or whatever.
The second big event pretty much speaks for itself. Check out this video of the beginning of the XKCD / Explosm.net panel which followed immediately after Super Art Fight.
That is part 1 of 8. The rest is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The rest is pretty informative and hilarious, which involves me in a blue jacket, drinking “water” on stage, and telling a few people to shut the hell up.
Honestly, it was a little planned. After I moderated their panel at Webcomics Weekend, the guys were nice enough to let me moderate this one as well. Y’know, I thought I wrote about that experience on the site, but I never did. I meant to, but got so distracted that I just linked to photos of it. It was a great time for me and them the first time around, so we all did it again.
If you found the site through XKCD or Explosm in some way, write a comment. For that matter, if you like the panel, post about it.
