Arisia 2006 Panels

[bobquasit]

Am I doing too many entries today?

I finally heard from Arisia; once again I'll be a program participant. Now, for the past several years they've only scheduled me for three or four panels. Not this year, though: check it out!

Is the panel schedule online anywhere? I looked at the Arisia site and didn't see a link for it.

I did look at the Anime schedule and noticed a whole lot of stuff I've not seen. I'm somewhat wondering if the "King Kong" anime is the cartoon I watched way back in those primitive times known as the Sixties. Also wondering how many people realize that the original "Tetsujin 28" (the one on the schedule is the recent new version) is better known in the US as "Gigantor."

The panels look to be mostly good for you; I'm expecting that somebody might find the "Knights of the Dinner Table" comic about the fearsome Gazebo.

I can't find one either.

Maybe http://2006.arisia.org/ will put up a schedule soon; they have a listing in the panelists-only section, but you need to be a panelist to get in.

shadesong has a partial listing here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/shadesong/2730404.html).

Hmmm.

"Is Battlestar Galactica Science Fiction?" could be interesting; one could raise that question about pretty much any SFTV if one is nit-picky.

"The Annihilation of Distance" also sounds interesting, although it's a bit open as to what that really means.
