arisia | Hey Babe, What's Your LJ-Name? Followup (Reply)

-The LJ-names of the people who were on the above-named panel (from left to right, audience-viewpoint) are:

-I also collected the names of anyone in the audience who wanted to give it, with the intent of leaving the list on the table, so people could copy them down. Since the room was needed for the next panel, this was an unworkable idea on my part, and I ended up stuffing the list in my bag as I scurried out of the room in a typically chaotic state. And, since those people did not volunteer to have their names appear here, I'm not going to list them. If you were one of them, please feel free to attach a comment to this post!

-I've gotten a great deal of positive feedback on the panel, and want to thank all the audience members and panelists. I also wanted to pass on

roozle's suggestion that next year's LJ panels be a bit more focused. The topics this year were rather broad.

-I'm also aware that there are people in the Arisia community who aren't certain LJ is a sufficiently "SF" topic for an SF convention. That's a perfectly defensible position. I happen to disagree, but that's mostly just because I enjoyed the LJ panels, and would like to be on them again next year. And I am greedy. I'd also point out that both panels were very well-attended, with Hey Babe getting a standing-room-only crowd on Sunday — aided, no doubt, by the snow, but still.
