Title: The Schedule?
Post by: veraca on August 20, 2011, 08:51:40 pm
I've already searched the forums for the last 365 days and found someone asking in early August, but nothing since so...

It's 14 days till and I was wondering when the schedule'll be released?

~~~~~

It's finally been posted: http://www.kumoricon.org/schedule/


(Hijacked first post to advertise the schedule. ~randompvg)

I was just thinking about that actually. I'd also like to know when the pre-registration check-in line on day 0 starts.

So I'm running a panel this year I as sent the mostly final draft to double check to see if my time slot worked

But it was sent awhile ago

Count me interested. I'm sure that info will be available soon.

The schedule has been finalized, and sent to the website people to be prepped for the website.  It should be up sometime next week.

It all depends on what else Website has on their plate.  Please remember... we are all volunteers, and many have day jobs that pay their bills, in addition to all the final little details as we approach con.  We do our best, but there are only so many hours in the day.

I understand that people are anxious to see the schedule, and we are doing our best to get it out.  But more of a concern for us is making sure that we have everything else in place for the convention as well... worst case scenario, you will have the schedule when you check-in at con, but everything else will be ready to go.

We appreciate your patience :)

I could just see someone ask

"How much go you get paid to staff at Kumoricon?"
Staff "um I paid $10 to be staff... hence the name 'volunteer staff'"

Agreed.

Besides, whenever I go to a con that I'm not staffing, I don't even look at a schedule until I'm there.  I'd still have plenty of time to find things I'd like to go to.

I'm one of the people working on the schedule. This is definitely our top priority, and we are working to get it up as soon as possible, and it is almost done.

I really hope it's up next week so I can tell the bosses when I can work in the reg-lines. :D It would be very much better if it's up before the meeting next weekend, I do however understand that life sometimes gets in the way. So to those working on the schedual I say, Doomo Arigato Goziamasu! and keep up the good work.

So thank you staff for all your hard work and we all await it with bated breath! :D

Um... Hi! So I am flattered as all get-out that Lady Loki is on the bingo sheet but you're going to have to change that because I didn't finish her and so I'm bringing something else instead. I'm really sorry! It's really awesome but I just couldn't get it done in time.

I'm just so bummed, I'm gonna miss The Anime Hunters panel (it's during the Final Fantasy shoot) *saaaaaaad pandaaaaaa* Oh well, that's what the intra-webbies are for, lol.

And haaaa, I'm one of the scavenger hunt cosplays! That's awesome. Yay, more pictures of me to hopefully find afterward.  ;D

Aw, bummer :(  Hmm, I'll look into it and we will have a change posted.  Thanks :)

The auditions are in the Karaoke Lounge 11am-2, and the contest is held in Live Events at 6pm.

Neat!  They had to pick someone, though I could see Moon as being more understandable.  (I, for one, am fine with this decision).

What's "Whack a Cat Girl?"

This is a tabletop game. "Neko-chan, the catgirl, is cute… Therefore she must be pelted with various objects! Plushies, water, fangirls, you name it! Build up an arsenal of items to throw at the catgirl, or use them as bait to lure her over. The player with the most points at the end is Champion of Everything. And you want that."

 I'm excited for the app, will be neat to see it's features.

It's kinda cool to see my name on the charity auction donors list, I felt a little weird about having it there, but it makes me feel good to help and I hope you all bid like crazy on my items to help people who need it. :D

I'm looking forward to part of con now SADG FOR LIFE!

But no Pocky Club and no Apples to Apples Con Edition make me sad.

Do you just show up?

I printed it out and marked the stuff I want to go to, but I can't wait till the one for the phone comes out. It was so nice to create your own schedule so you didn't have to sift through the other stuff you weren't interested it, and you could get reminders before the event started. I think you could add in your own stuff like photo shoots as well but I don't recal.

Only iOS and Android have native apps.

They report that Blackberry, Windows Phone, and webOS can use http://m.guidebookapp.com/

You might also try http://www.kumoricon.org/schedule

One or the other might work better (try both, once we've released the Guidebook app data).

Actually, the term 'Droid' is trademarked to Lucasfilms LTD. and Verizon is allowed to use it on their say.
