Tony Kim, Crazy4ComicCon will be leading the event

<Yes, I will actually be on a panel>

Does that mean you get a free admission to SDCCI, or other cool privileges?
Either way, very cool: it's like I'm someone who knows someone Comic-Con famous!  :P :P :P
Title: Re: Wrath of Con Bloggers Panel
Post by: alyssa on May 28, 2015, 05:59:47 PM
i doubt i'll get a free pass LOL but all the details haven't been laid out yet.

We have been talking about what to talk about...

the starting point are these questions

Saw this posted by Leonard on Facebook, and wondered if you were the FoCCI rep (who else could do it!). Congratulations!!! The topics you just posted sound like a good start.
Title: Re: Wrath of Con Bloggers Panel
Post by: Transmute Jun on May 28, 2015, 09:23:39 PM
It sounds like you guys have a lot of interesting topics to cover!

Will you be able to have a recording or a transcript posted here after the con is over?
Title: Re: Wrath of Con Bloggers Panel
Post by: karatekid on May 28, 2015, 10:21:52 PM
How exciting and awesome! Congrats!!  :D

I'd love to go check this out! Hopefully it's at a time that's not some major conflict. You'll have to keep us informed along the way, I'd love to hear the "how" and process of putting this together.

Title: Re: Wrath of Con Bloggers Panel
Post by: alyssa on May 29, 2015, 04:01:55 AM
In an effort to keep folks up to date with the process;

We have the panel time but have been asked not to announce it.  And like all things good at con, yes, there will be a conflict.

Most of the focus has shifted to getting the word out to our fans.

As i posted up thread we are also in the early stages of discussing the specifics of what we'll be talking about.
On a personal note, I'm rather excited abt speaking to the role bloggers/communities like ours play in the con culture.  I think those types of discussions can help change the convo from searching out the next big headline to celebrating the tribe and therefor improving & expanding the experience for everyone.

I've been asked for a head shot. That took days to find one.  I tried to get this one submitted but it was a 'no go'

You've achieved one of my life's dreams... to sit behind a sign with your name on it at SDCC.

You better frame that thing when you come home!

Wrath of Con Bloggers
Passionate about writing and comic conventions? Merge your passions together to create an online resource that informs and empowers fandom. Experienced bloggers gather to share how they started out, best practices, common pitfalls, biggest obstacles, and the core values that drive their sites. Tony B Kim (Crazy 4 Comic Con), Megan Gotch (The Nerdy Girlie), Leonard Sultana (An Englishman In San Diego), and Alyssa Franks (Friends Of CCI) offer advice that will benefit both veteran creators and those beginning to write about their passion for comic cons.

Look!   Our name up in lights!   We're gonna be famous!   Riches!   First you get the sugar, then you get the power...

If my unbelievable handsomeness does not get mentioned at least 6 times during this panel, I will take it as a personal insult.  :P

Wow, they're really shoving us out of the way, aren't they? Holy Broom Cupboard, Batman. But here's where that might backfire: Con Center lists the room capacity as 230. MySched has the attendees as 155 - and that's just MySched. I think we're going to have a very tidy crowd for this.

Scarily accurate. Kept looking over at Alyssa's notes - which she's hard at work at, in the pic. Had the words 'World Domination' and 'Kill = Competition' written all over them...
