Greetings to all panel fans!

First of all we the panels staff wish to thank you for coming this weekend not only to the convention, but for being a part of our panels experience! We know this year was a little difficult for some and may have required a little more patience than normal. But your patience made our weekend and hopefully your weekend great!

This thread is to share any ideas and hopefully good reports to our team to help us improve in the future. We do want to note a few things:

1) We did our best to accomodate any issues with registration and picking up badges, but please understand that anything that had to do with registration is not our department. Please do not vent about registration issues here.

2) If there is a specific note you wish to leave for certain panels and they have a thread already, feel free to leave a message there as well, so that the panelists can get that feedback specifically as this will be mostly maintained by staff members.  

3) Clockwork Alchemy panels are totally welcome (and encouraged) to be highlighted here! If there was one you saw that you think we should add next year, let us know!!

4) We know that there were a few panels that were in such high demand that we could not seat everyone. We will be discussing options for next year for those special big panels.

5)  If you are a panelist and you have something you wish to address concerning your panel, please feel free to email us directly at [email protected] so that we can address your issues in private.

6) Express your concerns, but don't be a jerk please? Thanks :D

Off you all go! And thanks again for coming to visit us in panels land! We look forward to seeing you next year!

So for those who play Pathfinder and/or Pathfinder Organized Society, and somehow, you didn't end up at KublaCon.. Do not fret, we are bringing some games to you! If you have never played Pathfinder Society, or Pathfinder in general, and want to get in on some gaming time, we will be there all weekend to get some time in!

But let us know what you think worked and what you think we can improve on in the future!Also please keep in mind that we did have some panels cancel, so we were unable to control those panels that didn't make it.

The Awesomeness That is Fanime Panels 2010! ;D

I was thinking, kinda of having a kind of mock game for Phoenix Wright. I just started playing the game and I am totally addicted and would love to have a game show version of the actual game. Cosplayers would be preferred, but it's not mandatory.

Fans, what do you think? Think it would work or be worth the time?

MASSIVE EDIT: Someone has done that panel before, but I haven't seen it since 2008. It was done by Cosplay Cyborg. If CC is doing it again then let me know and I will totally delete this thread or if you are open to a collab it would be cool too.

Once again, the traditional--was your hotel stay awesome or what?

I stayed this year at The Fairmont Hotel, and let me tell you that the place was AWESOME! Our room was spacious, surrounded by food, placed within a nice short walk to the hotel, and it wasn't as insane or noisy as the other convention hotels. Checking out was also a nice smooth process. Only gripe I have is the parking.. Stupid $26 parking.
