PROGRAMMING & EVENTS
Here is a taste of some of the things that you can expect at Outlantacon 2012!
Outlantacon @ Night:
FRIDAY:
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.
NEA'S GEEK RACE
Life can be a drag, but we have the cure for your Friday night con crud. Join your enigmatic hostess Nea D’Angel with judges Slantino Rice-a-roni and Rochelle Massage. We provide the drag, you provide the fierceness. This could be your chance to lip sync for your very survival! Will our contestants serve geeky realness or sashay away? There can only be one Heather left standing, so you better work!
SATURDAY:
PROJECT COSPLAY
Yes! The gayest of all reality competition shows is coming back to Outlantacon! Bigger, gayer, geekier, and twistier than ever. a 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. This was last year’s biggest event, so get your seat! if you want to show off your own costume, participate in ourMasquerade and help entertain the troops while the designers are designing!
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. |
