BCGF Throws Down Programming, Satellite Event Gauntlets



Here and here. Sounds like an excellent few days. Also nice to hear what my panel on Saturday will cover. (I'm kidding, sheesh; I'd do anything for this show.)

This is the best conventions/festivals year in comics history, I'd suggest by a wide margin. It's also clear that conventions and festivals are going to settle in as a hugely important part of the comics scene for the next decade and maybe permanently. It behooves us to pay attention to everything that the better shows do, and not get tied up in, say, dopey tribal judgments or criticism based on what one kind of show is over another kind of show. It's big tent... full of big tents, actually.

The above linked-to pieces strike me as a really useful and workable pair of models for day-of programming (note how everyone isn't shoehorned into some panel or another, for instance, and how generally well-balanced they are in terms of gender and generation) and for satellite events (all types, all kinds, different venues, about a week out moving in on the show itself).

I hope everyone is taking notes on everybody else, because it is my desire to attend as many great shows as possible.
