“I remember my first convention, and it was terrifying. I walked into this room, and there were all these people, and they were all looking at me. I thought, ‘What am I doing here? I don’t have a script.’ And then I realized, they were there because they loved the show. It was overwhelming, but in a good way.”
~William Shatner
Music. Writing. Art. Swinging pillows at monkeys. These are some of the most classic of human art forms, and our Guests of Honor will come together to talk about their creativity, their struggles, their advice for others, and, really, anything they want; they’re our guests of honor, we can’t exactly tell them what to do.
Buckle up, earthlings, for a cosmic collision of creativity at our Guest of Honor panel! We’ve summoned a motley crew of wizards, bards, and other dimension-hopping artists for a spectacle that’ll make your neurons dance.
