retsukoThe Thursday schedule is here!
Highlights include:
3:45-4:45 Entertainment Weekly: Wonder Women: Female Power Icons in Pop Culture— EW will moderate a conversation with Sigourney Weaver (Avatar), Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost), Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), and other stars about the actresses who have redefined the rules and the female characters that have shattered the glass ceiling for all women. Basically: a discussion with women who kick ass.
*dies* Ripley, Juliet, and Veronica Mars?! *dies of awesome* THE COOL FEMINIST QUOTIENT IS ACHIEVED!
12:00-2:00 CBLDF Master Session: The Painter's Process with Jill Thompson and Charles Vess— Bring your sketchbook and your questions to this first-hand view of the creative process of two of comics' greatest painters! Jill Thompson (Magic Trixie) and Charles Vess (Sandman) take you step by step through the painting process at this live art demonstration. Witness how each artist brings a painting to life on the big screen. The original art from this session will be auctioned off on Saturday night in the CBLDF's auction!
Oh, how badly do I want the $$$ to bid on that?! And the chance to see two great artists at work is amazing--I've always been curious what the creative process would be for that sort of thing.
4:30-5:30 Imagination in Illustration: a Brief History of Fantastic Art— Catch Comic-Con special guest Charles Vess's intriguing visual presentation on the history of Fantastic Art (1850 to present day). Featuring his favorite English fairy tale artists, American pulp masters and visionary painters, many not found in textbooks. Prepare to be swept away.
Wow, this is definitely one that I'm hoping I can go to... not sure I'll have the energy at that point, or what other plans will present themselves, but definitely going to try (uncomfortable overlap with the cool women panel, too.)
~~~
It occurs to me that the panel I really want to go to is entitled something like, "All the people who you admire and want to ask questions of come and hang out in your living room for an evening/weekend/your preference". Something tells me I will never get this panel. ^-^;;

Date: 2009-07-11 01:38 pm (UTC)(The idea of rushing through a novel has always intimidated me, and the fact that it is in November means that I've never had time to do it. August seems a little less chaotic on my end.)

Date: 2009-07-12 01:29 pm (UTC)I'm usually better at doing word counts than chapters, mainly because I have no idea how long chapters can/should be for the most part, but I'm open to either.
Yay August and less stress!
