Friday, 1830: Games to kill a day, withthaadd; we'll talk about Crayons Across America, the various Catan games, and whatever else comes to mind in that vein. I may steal shamelessly from Eric Raymond's post on the subject, since he's smarter than I am. #^_^#
Saturday, 1100: Is the Network Dead? "How are the variety of new technologies changing television -- both on the business side and the creative side?"michaellee and I and a couple of other guys I don't recognize by name ought to be able to yak about this for an hour and then some.
Saturday, 1400: Manga Influence in America.marainsanity, two other lady otaku and I talk about the impact of manga on American culture, or, "All your buttsex cultural tropes are belong to us."
Saturday, 1700: Cartoons: Not Just For Kidsmarainsanity, Daren Johnson, Greg Weisman (wow, a GoH!) and some dorky musician about cartoons that appeal to adults and cartoon series especially for adults.
