Wholanta 2017 Costume track info and panellists needs
Hi folks!
It's Kim, director of Wholanta's Wardrobe Portal aka the costume track. If you are definitely attending Wholanta (the former TimeGate), May 5-7 (note the date change; the con is no longer over Memorial Day weekend), and are a costumer/cosplayer, I have some panellists openings available. You can reply on the list, or email me off-list. I need only firm commitments before March 31st. The sooner you request a panel, the better chance you have of being on it. :)
Here is a list of the panels (please note that not every panel needs panellists):
FRIDAY, MAY 5TH
8 PM
New Who Cosplay, Part One

9 PM
Doctor Who (and any SF/Fantasy media) Crafts
Knitters, crafters, and anyone working in traditional artistic mediums in any area of SF and fantasy, but especially connected w/ Doctor Who and British media, are welcome to bring completed works and works-in-progress for show 'n' tell.
[No panellists needed, just crafters to bring their work.]

New Who Cosplay, Part Two

[need 4-5 panellists--if you can't be on this panel, please note that there is another one on Friday at 8 PM--please sign up for only one!]
My rules for panellists are rather simple:
1. Please show up on time!
2. The panels end 10 minutes before the hour. If audience members want to talk to you, please walk with them out to the hall. Please do remember that we need to clear the room for the next panel!
3. Always be polite; if you feel like there's an issue with an audience member or another panellist, please let the moderator know ASAP.
4. Do show up in costume that's appropriate for the panel in question, if possible. Or bring a cosplay for a quick show 'n' tell.
5. Panellists are expected to address questions from the attendees.
If you've never been on a panel before, and would like to start with just one panel, that's great!
Once again, panel sign-ups need to be in before March 31st!
Thanks in advance,
Kim
