Swancon Programming Meeting April 30

[alias_sqbr]

Yes, I took a while to get around to writing this up, the important thing is I've done it now >.>

I was the only non committee member to show up, and they were very interested in a wider variety of suggestions. So contact them with ideas! Especially, I assume, relating to the newly announced international guest Wesley Chu.

Games/audience participation etc type stuff:

• Johann Sebastian Joust
  
• Virtual Reality demo like the one this year by Stirfire Studios
  
• Workshops: quilting, locks, miniature painting
  
• Competitive team based problem solving thing?
  
• Play Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy game by audience vote
  

Other kinds of panels:

• Anime history, recs
  
• Dr Who
  
• Non Western/English language Scifi beyond Anime: Miraculous Ladybug etc
  
• Video games discussion
  
• Late night Devina (fan guest)
  
• Classics we never saw
  
• Grant's history of Disney continued? If he wants?
  
• Fantasy panels that suit Traci Harding's themes
  
• Can a scifi movie stay true to an interesting scifi premise all the way through but also be exciting with lots of explosions?
  
• Time travel
  
• Endangered Animals
  
• Space Ship Yamoto
  
• Point and Click computer games
  
• Women sent back in time: the genre.
  
• Old franchises changing to suit new times eg getting more diverse
  
• British Scifi Humour
  
• Metaphors politically used for explosions (what does this mean, past self??)
