As a heads up for anyone who will be in the area that weekend, I'm holding a yuri panel this year at ConBust, my college's annual geekdom con. The time and date haven't been set yet but I'll post them as soon as I know!

Can't wait! I always have fun doing this panel, and I know that the staff at ConBust will be easy to work with. (Especially since they know how to label their rooms and none of them are tittering man-children who hit on the panelists. Hahaha.) Again, I'll post about my panel more when there's more to post. ^_^
And tomorrow's the last day of winter break! I'm taking a direct flight up north tomorrow- not too early, thankfully.

Some of these panels sound really interesting. Hope you have fun, and good luck with your yuri panel!
Thanks Erin! :-) This year I'm going to make more of an effort to visit other panels.
That's an impressive mix of diverse topics that ConBust is holding.
What I found interesting about ConBurst was it's mission statement, something that I've never seen or heard of before.
Hope your panel goes well, hope you have fun there too.
@P.S.- Thanks! ^^
The students who run ConBust take a lot of pride in the (as you noted, unique) point of their mission statement. (Although given our college's "Yay, feminism!" slant, it's to be expected.) I'm glad you noticed it.
