Dating Game Show Panel for 2011.

[c2chaos]

Hey I don't know how far you guys are into this, but if you need a host I'd be more than willing to help!  I'm also hosting The Dub Show contest this year, and I have plenty of experience hosting events such as UC Santa Barbara's Digital Film Festival.  Plus I've been doing Stand Up Comedy for 2+ years and I've performed at tons of clubs in LA and Ventura.

I also performed at Animation on Display if anyone remembers me ;D

God that sounded egotistical... :(

lol.
I'm going to stick as host as to better myself. I've handle a hundred before, a few more can't be all that bad. Although having more hands on deck will help make the panel go smoother still.

I think it doesn't matter if you cosplay or not
And I do think there should be a yaoi/yuri part
I'd be willing to participate
Is this an official panel yet?

I'm not quite sure how we will have a meeting for this. I live quite a distance away from the bay area. About 200+ miles. :(
It would be best that we have an online meeting. Make a chat room or something and set a date and time.
I have thought about having yuri/yaoi parts and I would like to bring that up as the next topic for discussion/vote. :)
Also, I have already submitted an application, so all there is left is to wait for the news. Cross your fingers guys! t(>_<)t

Hey everyone - just to let you know...

After a lot of consideration, we decided that at least for this year, we are not going to approve any dating panels (there were 2 or 3 submitted to us). The closest we've come is approving one panel that was offering up a single date as a prize. We are a little bit dubious as to whether or not people would actually enjoy being put to the test in some sort of dating thing in front of a large audience. We are certainly willing to reconsider the idea for next year, since it seems so popular, but for this year, we're going to hold off.

Please feel free to discuss here.

However, the General Programming division might still hold a speed dating event similar to last year's popular speed dating event. Last I heard, there was a space set aside for it to happen, but no one had been found to run the event. I've forwarded all panel submissions for dating panels to the head of General Programming for consideration. I haven't heard anything back yet, so that's all the information I can give you for now.

If you're interested in running the event outside of a panel room, and without an audience, you might want to come to the next Fanime General Meeting - which will be held on April 10th. You should be able to speak to the head of GP at that meeting, and ask any questions you might have on the subject.

Aww..that's a disappointment. (-_-)
Yeah. I wanted to hear from Speed Dating before I submitted an application but I guess nobody was home, and I went through with it anyway. :/
However, nonetheless, thank you, Rena. I will try again next year.

[princesskitty18]

we still have a chance at next year
but it makes sense
speed dating only started last year
so a dating show panel seemed like a bit of the stretch

its okay!
we can do speed dating and still all meet up and have fun :)

thank u rena for letting us kno how things actually are this year
still lookin forward to fanime, panels and all :D

Is there going to be speed-dating this year and is there a thread for it? And do I have to have registered for a badge to sign up for speed-dating?
