Events: Tentative Schedule for AXNY Panels

August 21st, 2002

For those of you who might want to actually know *when* the respective panels I’ll be on are, here’s
the tentative schedule – all of these are taking place at the Marriot on Times Square, Room LP3 – the Karaoke Room (the Hudson and Empire conference rooms):

Sunday

1PM-3PM – Yaoi/Yuri Panel

You must be over 18 for this panel, ID will required

4PM-6PM – Fanfic Panel

Monday

3PM-5PM – Fanfiction Workshop

The panel about running an anime convention was aborted, so that’s that. :-)

Show your support of Yuricon and attend a panel sporting our new official Yuricon t-shirt! Drop by our Yuricon shop and pick up an official Yuricon shirt, wow your friends and have the chicks hanging all over you! We’ve kept the price as low as we can, so you won’t suffer from sticker shock.



Events: Yuricon at AXNY/BAAF

August 19th, 2002

Yuricon will, along with Shoujocon and Anime Next, have a table at Anime Expo NY/Big Apple Anime Festival. Drop by for registration materials, posters, volunteer opportunities and possibly, if the gods are good to us, t-shirts. Say hi to our staffers and our friendly neighborhood conventions.

I’ll be running the Yaoi/Yuri Panel, and a Fanfic Writing Workshop as part of the festivities, and you can find me on the Fanfic Panel, or as part of the Panel on running anime conventions. Please stop by and say hello at any of those venues. I always enjoy meeting new people. (And since I’m giving you two whole weeks warning, you have no reason not to come by.)

As the date gets closer (and I find my notebook where I mark this stuff down) I’ll let you know *where* and *when* these panels and workshops are.



Events: Atlantic Anime Alliance and Meow Mix

August 16th, 2002

First appearance update – this Saturday and Sunday, you’ll be able to meet my wonderful self at two separate events:

The Atlantic Anime Alliance is having a picnic in New Brunswick, NJ, in Johnson Park. This is the organization created and maintained by Steve Pearl, the Otaking himself. :-) Steve’s a very nice man and has invited me to come by and “meet the guys.” So I’ll be there, probably in the early afternoon. Do please come up and introduce yourself if you’re going to be there.

On Sunday, we’ll be having our third and final Meow Mix event. (Final because we’re looking for another venue…) We’re doing “Tough Chicks” anime, which will include classic Bubblegum Crisis, Devilman Lady and Kekko Kamen (animated and, if we have time, live-action.)

The Meow Mix event is from 4PM-8PM at 269 E. Houston, in NYC and is $5 to get into, but if you mention this blog, we’ll give you a discount. :-) It ought to be fun, but I was so hoping that the weather would have broken by then. Afterwards, there’s a better than average chance that we’ll all go out for food, so stick around and chat with us!

I’m also on the staff of Anime NEXT that’s happening here in NJ, in October, so I’ll be checking into their staff meeting on Sunday before the MM event, so maybe I can meet a few new folks then too. :-)

I hope I’ll see some folks at these two events!



Yuri News: Welcome to Okazu

August 14th, 2002

Welcome to Okazu!

“Okazu” (おかず) is Japanese for appetizers – and is slang for lesbian sex because, you know it’s not *real* sex. ^_^

It’s also a good name for dribbles of writing that aren’t stories – just thoughts and comments and updates on things I’m doing. Most of those “things” will be Yuri-related, some will be about women in comics and others will be me screwing around as I travel the world. Whatever it is that brings you here, welcome and enjoy the tasty Okazu. ^_^
