Last week I gave a little insight on who I’m looking forward to seeing next week at this Comikaze 2014, and I thought that the list alone was a little daunting. Then I see the schedule for the next three days and my jaw, figuratively, dropped to the floor, and then literally stayed agape. It looks like it’s not only going to be a great two and a half days, but I feel I’m going to need a week to recover from all the things there are to see and do. So let’s start with a few of the things I’m looking forward to at this year’s Comikaze, because as we know, I have NO idea what it means to be Press at an event like this, so it’ll be all new to me. So, I’m sure I’ll running around with my arms flailing in the air.
Comikaze Schedule
I’m going to skip Friday, because I fear I may not make it for that day. Instead, let’s check out Saturday.
I’ve always considered myself inept, yet a fan of fashion, and one of the first panels of the morning is all about Geek Fashion. I hope to stop looking like a bum, and actually look like I know how to dress myself. If I happen to miss that one, there’s always the later panel all about being Fashionably Nerdy. I wonder if there’s a difference.
For Dave the Drummer, I may actually go for the Troma panel as they turn 40. If you listen to A Critical Moment of Awesome, you’ll know Dave’s love of the Troma films, and for him, I’ll have to check this sucker out. I know he’ll be jealous, but he’ll be with me in spirit using bad special effects with mirrors, scotch tape, and a paper cut out of his beard.
The blog and podcast might be littered with information on how I’m an avid gamer, and apparently, as geek is chic, we are also in the Golden Age of Gaming. A panel I’m certainly looking forward to, as it will give me a chance to see what I can do with my hobby other than be awesome at it.
To round out my official first day, it will be all about the Game of Thrones panel, the live Hollywood Babble-On, the Constantine panel, Doctor Who Live!, the Single Geeks social, and maybe even attending the Cosplay Ball. All that and I’m only scratching the surface of Saturday’s events. This doesn’t even include what I’ll be doing as Press, walking the floor, buying things, taking pictures and video of the event, and eating, bathrooming, and catching my breath!! Tomorrow, it’s all about Sunday’s events. Sure it’s half a day, but it’s a FULL half day.
Are you going to Comikaze? What are you looking forward to? What do you think I should do and see? Not going this year? What panels would you attend? What would you do?
