My Polaris Schedule: Tentative

Jun 17, 2009 11:20

So, I dug up the Polaris website and looked through the panelist info, and it seems like the schedule is mostly comlete. So below the cut are my



No Heroics!

Description: Just like any normal city, except for the large amount of Capes running around. Electro-Clash, She-Force, Time Bomb and the Hotness are anti-heroes, to say the least. The Fortress, their pub, seems to be the only place Capes can get some peace. Don't forget, no powers inside!

Dollhouse
Description: "Dolls" can be anyone. Their personalities wiped clean, each doll is a clean slate. This leaves the doll the ability to have new personae imprinted on them once they're hired out. But once they return to the dollhouse, their minds are wiped and they return to a childlike state. What is the mystery shrouding the Dollhouse, and its shady ways?

I Just Saw Alan Moore

Who are your three favourite black superheroes? or Marginalized!

Description: Superman, Spiderman, Batman... is it just me or are all these people straight white men? Black Panther can'r keep a solo book going. Milestone failed. Quick, name me a Hispanic superhero. Had to think about it didn't you? Where are the people of colour? And when will they get their place in the sun?

A few thoughts.

Saturday night's going to be busy. Boy, it's a good thing there isn't a large & popular event going on at that time!

Oh, wait. At least there's no fucking 1 am panels this year. Seriously, does the programming staff just hate me?

I appear to be alone on half of my panels. Including the one where I really, REALLY don't like the show. No one else seems interested in black superheroes or Scott Pilgrim. Just you wait! Hipster charm will win you over!

There's no sign that there's a Panels in Peril list, so I don't know what they'll do if I'm the only one interested.

I should re-read & re-watch the subjects of my panels, I guess.

dollhouse, geek life, toronto trek, comics, red dwarf, tv, con life, no heroics, watchmen, cinema
