Virtual BistoCon Report
2020. . . ahhh! But now it has a bright point.
We had to cancel the Pros con, BistoCon, that we had scheduled earlier this month. We were bummed!!
Then some of the group attended an online con, and said how well it went. I watched SDComicCon and saw how well the zoom worked, but before we could pool our thoughts, Snowhite calls me and says “let’s run a virtual con.” And we jumped on it. With 10 days planning. . . we did it!!
It was great. So much fun.!!
We wanted to include all time zones. On Friday - the meet and greet was held twice. In the AM pacific time zone, which was 5pm UK, 2am Sat in Aust. Then again at 4pm pacific which was 1am UK and 10am Sat for Aust. We talked for an hour and then watch an episode together. Squee!!!
Sat started early for pacific time zone (6am). . . I didn’t care it was Bodie and Doyle day!
We started with panels, (Disappearing Girlfriends) on Zoom. That was followed by an episode watch of Backtrack -on Twitch- we could chat the whole time. . .can I squee again? Squeeeee.
That’s the day-- Panel, episode, panel, Vid show, open consuite, panel, episode, panel different vid show, open consuite. Panel, episode panel repeat of morning vid show Conroom break for goodbyes the two more episode watches.
Panels included - Disappearing Girlfriends, Desert Island Fic, Why Has It Lasted?, Hearts and Flowers or Shag and Run, Does the Friendship Matter and ended with Canon vs Fannon.
We watched and squeed together : Backtrack, Everest Was Also Conquered, Blind Run, First Night, and ended with Discovered in a Graveyard. -the vid show 1st one contemporary and the 2nd was old not online VCR vids!! Great to see!
Then people went away :( Sad that it was over, happy that it went well and ready to do it again. Which we will - host another virtual Pros Con!!!
The schedule was set up so we could give UK, Europe and Australia some real time there as well!
At the midday con break we had an impromptu art show, we all showed off what Pros art we had. . . .yum, yum!
Anyone out there that attended. . . than you for making it the best day out of the entire 2020 year!!! This entry was originally posted at https://krisserci5.dreamwidth.org/40229.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
