Hi! I just wanted to thank everyone for attending, and I'm glad so many of you enjoyed it! I really didn't expect all that many people to attend nor did I expect all that many people come up to me at the end to express their appreciation. You guys are the reason I keep doing these panels in the first place and knowing you get so much enjoyment and entertainment makes me want to keep on doing them.
Now for regrets...
Forgetting the tank goodie bag at home on friday. I am so glad so many of you showed up to my Kancolle panel the next day to get rewarded. God bless you my fellow history buffs and your panel loyalty.
My friend getting stagefright right before the panel started. He was a huge help in the production of the panel and he was all set to cohost when I think he got intimidated by the crowd. This was his first AB and con in general and I think he got a little overwhelmed. I feel bad for putting him on the spot though, and was relieved when he came back though.
Not including a slide explaining the different measurement designations each country used historically for their tanks. For example the US tended to milimeters, the Germans centimeters, and the British had their own unique "pounder" system that was originally based on the weight of the shot being fired and had pretty much lost all meaning by WWII.
Fix the damn slide where I refer to the Sherman Firefly's gun as a 20 pounder instead of a 17 pounder. For me this is one of those bang your head on the desk "stupid, stupid, STUPID!" moments and I honestly have no clue how I missed it.
So then anybody got any comments or concerns? Maybe things they'd like to see in future of this panel?
