Comic-Con International:San Diego 2016 BJD Panel and Meetup...Sunday, July 24

Jun 5, 2016

    1. Hello All!

      *EDIT: The panel will take place on Sunday, July 24 at noon-2pm in 32AB. 32AB is on the harbor side of the Center, just down from Ballroom 20.

      Here is the first announcement for this year's panel/meetup at Comic-Con International in San Diego!

      Comic-Con runs July 21-24 (Preview Night on the 20th), and the meetup is scheduled for Sunday, July 24. I do not have a confirmed time or room yet, but I do know that it will be in the Convention Center rather than offsite. It should be sometime around noon.

      Joining us this year once again will be speakers Bo Bergemann of Bergemann Dolls, Hideyoshi Shigeta of Volks USA, and Pam Ford of PamSDMiniCostuming. Additional panelists will be added as confirmed.

      You must have a membership to the convention to attend, as the panel/meetup is in the convention center. The meetup will begin with a short intro/discussion/Q&A, then the remaining time will be spent as meetup and photo time. We generally have a large variety of BJDs displayed, so feel free to join in!

      Please keep in mind that there are no sales allowed in any of the program spaces.

      As always, if there are any questions, please feel free to pm me. Hope to see you all there!

      *Edit 7/9 to add time/room details and add panel speaker.

    2. If I get down there, I'll try and go...!
       
    3. I'll be there! I need to order a carrier so I can bring one of my girls!
       
    4. Yeah, at a super-crowded con like that, a carrier is good to have! I always pack my dolls up in carriers for ComicCon.
       
    5. If the doll is a smaller one, I've found wrapping them in some fabric and putting them in a tote bag works. Hope to see you there :D
       
    6. Just got back into the hobby, I'm totally going to be there.

      Now just who to bring....
       
    7. I'll be attending again this year~! Hope to meet everyone!
       
    8. Bump for addition of panel time/room, and panelist Hideyoshi Shigeta from Volks.
       
    9. Anyone planning to meet up outside after the panel, in one of the parks maybe? I think we might be able to attract a little mini meet outside the convention center if we post about it!
       
    10. If you go out the back of the center and down the stairs, there's Embarcadero Park. Most of the lines should be gone by then. There's also Seaport Village. I, alas, will not be able to join you, as Con Talkback begins at 3:30.

    11. I'll see you there, this year with my own two dolls. They will have new hats and shawls.
       
    12. @derbydoll -- Oh, I think I sat by you! Lovely hats and shawls, indeed! :D

    14. It'll be another great panel, I'm sure!

      You and Pam do a great panel. I love my Volks bag freebie. Always good to see Volks. Great to see Bo Bergemann again. Her latest doll is amazing!
