GAYLAXICON 2011 PROGRAMMING
Here is a taste of some of the things that you can expect at Gaylaxicon 2011!
GAYLAXICON @ Night:
You want entertainment? You want a show? You want a night out on the town? We hear ya — and you won't even have to leave the hotel to get it! We have a killer line-up planned for you both nights! For evening entertainment, we've gotcha covered!
Here's a taste (specific nights and times TBA):
SYRENS OF THE SOUTH
Join us for the premiere burlesque show in Atlanta! Begun in 2004, the Syrens now perform regularly at the Little Tree Studios and they'll be bringing their multifaceted show to Outlantacon! But this isn't your average burlesque show — this is geared specifically to the geek audience! You'll have to be there to see what we mean! But expect to see one or two of your favourite comic book characters in situations you might have only imagined them in!
MATCH GAME
You remember Match Game, right? That quintessential 70s television game show, hosted by Gene Rayburn, in which a panel of celebrities tried to match answers with players to questions like "Every morning, John puts _________ on his cereal" and "Did you catch a glimpse of that girl on the corner? She has the world's biggest _________." We'll have a panel of our Guests who will match wits with players pulled from the audience. Its one of the funniest hours you'll experience.
PROJECT COSPLAY
Yes! The gayest of all reality competition shows comes to Outlantacon! Join your hosts Heidi Plume and Tim's Gun as they lead a team of designers to create a new look for a group of models. Materials will be provided, and the designers will have a short period of time to create their look. Then the models will perform on the Outlantacon catwalk! Its sure to be — well — an interesting experience if nothing else! And if you want to show off your own costume, participate in our Masquerade and help entertain the troops while the designers are desgining!
Other Events:
FILMS / VIDEOS:
For Gaylaxicon, we want to feature as many independant works in our video programming as possible. If you'd like to host a screening of your independant film or would like to send us your film to have it screened at Gaylaxicon, please contact Alan.
PANELS:
Like any good con, we'll have panel discussions on a wide range of topics. We'll have the full schedule online pretty soon, but for now check the Schedule page for a couple of samples of what we have in store for you in May!
GAMING:
We'll have a fully stocked game room running all weekend long. Open gaming will be available any time the room is open, but there will also be 'organized' gaming events scheduled throughout the weekend.
COSTUMING:
We encourage costuming of all types at Outlantacon. We'll have the usual Masquerade of course, but at the same time, witness our brand new event "Project Cosplay"!
SPECIAL EVENTS:
Here are some things that we have in mind for this year:
"Queer Ghost Stories"—It'll be just like camping! Sit around a 'campfire', maybe cook a few smores, and share some queer ghost stories with friends!
[More to come!]
WORKSHOPS:
If you'd be interested in running a workshop of whatever type (writing, costume making, art, etc), please contact Alan with your idea.
