Title: Been to Japan? Want to be on a panel?
Post by: Petrea Mitchell on August 12, 2010, 11:11:36 am
My panel "I Went to Japan and Survived" has been approved and needs more panelists! Have you been to Japan, even for just a day or two? Then come be part of the panel! I promise low-pressure questions, and don't worry about whether your experience is unique enough-- it's the added viewpoint that counts. (Plus, I guarantee it's not going to overlap much with my experience, unless your primary reason for going was also to be part of the staff at a science fiction convention.)

Feel free to drop me a line here, or on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/bidalaka), or by e-mail at pravn(at)bidalaka(dot)com.

I went to Japan last summer and had some interesting experiences.

But it would depend on what time the panel was.
I could even wear the Yukata I received at a school festival while there.

I spent almost 3 months there. BUt I was a bad boy back then and hardly got off the ship, let alone off the navy base to see much. But then we had to stay steaming, so I couldn't have gone very far anyway. If I even had an idea where to go. Funny, I was there at the time my avatar was a hit show.
