Having gone for the past 6 years later is better. You might get more people come on Thursday if you buff up panels early Friday...but it won't be this year you'll see the shift. People's plans and schedules take time to transition. Last minute travel changes for myself won't happen if I see a panel at Fanime earlier than I will be there...BUT next year, I'll remember and if the schedule is the same I think I'd be better prepared to making arrangements.

However, Later, I'd love there to be more to do than the Dance and Hentai rooms.

that explains it thank you. I misunderstood. I thought we would have to respond to a message on the forums vs. an email.

Sounds good. Thank you.

I'm prolly gonna be on the wait list but where do you post to confirm panel ideas? I'm not seeing panel threads per say...

I did PM you but hadn't heard anything about it so thought I'd get bolder in my asking:)

I'd be happy to coordinate and run both panels if you're cool with it. Just let me know what you need from me. "our Resin Bishounin" I'd be happy to run opposite the Masquerade and the more indepth BJD panel could be held just about any day as I'll be there from Friday afternoon till Monday morning. I'd also be happy to PM you my contact info to discuss in via email, phone, etc...

Fanime 2009 will be my 6th, but I'm new to this forum and fanime pre-planning. I'm interested in seeing some Ball jointed Doll panels. It's a fandome that is growing quite a bit and probably will draw a crowd for panels. Other than intro panels, Fanime really hasn't delved into this subject much.

I'm not sure if it's ok to volunteer in this thread, so  please understand I don't mean to be rude if it's not. I am actually interested in running a panel that focuses on pretty boy BJD's called 'Our resin bishounin'. It's been run at Yaoi Con by both JennyNemisis and Kellyhyme. The torch has passed to me. I'd be happy to give the panel preview if/when appropriate. timing wise I could see this being a great late night panel run opposite a main event...which I know is something that is always needed.

Also the Elfdoll Company Representative is a very good friend of mine. Elfdoll is one of the popular doll companies in BJD's. Junkyspot, a vender at Fanime, carries them along with several other doll companies. Anyway she and I, along with another enthusiast ran a last minute panel at PMX that went over more advanced aspects of the BJD hobby. I think she could be convinced to participate in a simular panel for Fanime.

Would either or both be of interest?
