Connecticon Recap 1 – Panel Goodness
I’m going to be posting 2 or 3 different recaps of Connecticon, because it would not all fit in one post unless that post was really really long. Nobody wants that, so here we go. This one is all about Saturday, between 5pm and 8:30pm.
First up was a little event known as Super Art Fight. SAF has been a little project of mine and some local webcomics friends, and Connecticon was the biggest show yet. Through some sheer cohones and conniving on our part, we managed to get some of the most amazing webcomic artists in the biz, which was also a great chance to get to know some amazing webcomic artists that I hadn’t otherwise gotten to know. You can see all details in this post on the SAF site, and let us know if you have pics or video of the event. Or just let us know if you were there or heard about it or whatever.
The second big event pretty much speaks for itself. Check out this video of the beginning of the XKCD / Explosm.net panel which followed immediately after Super Art Fight.
That is part 1 of 8. The rest is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The rest is pretty informative and hilarious, which involves me in a blue jacket, drinking “water” on stage, and telling a few people to shut the hell up.
Honestly, it was a little planned. After I moderated their panel at Webcomics Weekend, the guys were nice enough to let me moderate this one as well. Y’know, I thought I wrote about that experience on the site, but I never did. I meant to, but got so distracted that I just linked to photos of it. It was a great time for me and them the first time around, so we all did it again.
If you found the site through XKCD or Explosm in some way, write a comment. For that matter, if you like the panel, post about it.

I was at the XKCD/Explosm panel and talked to you because of it in the Artists' Colony on Sunday. I liked what I saw, so I bought a print and read all of the archives when I came home.
Great comic!

I missed the xkcd/Explosm panel =( I think my group decided it was better to get food at that point… WHO NEEDS FOOD WHEN YOU HAVE XKCD, EXPLOSM, AND ROSSCOTT IN THE SAME ROOM! Anywho, sorry I missed it!

I need to hurry up and get my new pictures up so you can link to photos a little more recent than March.

Gladly will do so.

I do want to comment (how unusual for me) on the whole experience I missed (due to timing, not Ross) but I'll have to get back to that a little later.
I know, you are all waiting w/baited breath (hope you used mouthwash) to read what I have to say.

Enjoyed the panel. Really informative and interesting. Especially liked the moderator and that jacket–hmm, where have I seen that before? Of course it still fits!

I think I know how there were five comments from me. I commented on different sites for the SAF and they ended up all on this site I guess.
Now, that's what really happened, but you may prefer to believe it's just because I'm older than stone. And in that case, what do you expect? (Imagine theme from Twilight Zone.)

Well I found out about your website due to the panel! You were really funny so I just had to check out your site. I hope to see you at some conventions in the future, you rock and so does your comic!
