Gen Con 2015 -To Prepare

Gen Con 2015 is almost here! The Trulie Awesome Show was fortunate enough to connect with Wasabi Anime via JoyYou Café for Origins, and since we were already funding our own way to Gen Con, we were able to do four panels this year!

We learned a lot at Origins so we feel slightly more prepared for the panels for Gen Con. Full Metal Alchemist is Thursday at 11am. Fan Panels are great because we just talk and people bring up points and questions and we discuss everything.  I don't watch Full Metal Alchemist but King Sweet Beard and Totalie Awesome are fans, so I will be in the audience for this one.

My Alternative Cosplay Paper Dress Making Panel at 1pm has only two people registered but it will be fun to teach people a simple way to turn paper into a dress. I filmed myself making two dresses so I would not have to drag a lot of equipment around the convention center. The first time I did this panel was Midoricon 2014 and I forgot the scissors and the tape. It would have been a disaster if not for Peach Roulette, Serge Le Sinister, Totalie Awesome, and Maulie Squee entertaining the audience while I found some scissors. I hope to be able to turn my Gen Con program into a skirt at the end of the panel in under five minutes. With less people in the class, I may be able to show them a lot more than just three dresses.

We also have a Death Note fan panel on Saturday at 2pm but I'm MOST excited about our Trulie Awesome Show on Saturday at 8:30pm. Totalie says the Hex gamers will be there, but so far no one has taken a ticket for it. As long as there is one person in the audience the show will go on. I hope there are more people, but I still can't believe we get to perform there!

We have a lot to get done before we leave on Wednesday and then it's gaming and anime for the next four days!!
