I've got two. Zapp's Spaceship of Love presents: Variety hour, and Zapp's Spaceship of Love presents: Critical Fail.

The first is kind of a taste of what we do at Sakura-Con, with audience involved little games and the like. Normally it's a question and answer sort of thing where people remain in character, but since this is a smaller con, we're going to try out some of the other ideas we've had but never got to do. For example, the first part is going to be a game we're calling Jojo's Bizarre Pose Off. You should be able to guess what that'll involve.

Critical Fail is something we tried at Sakura-Con and had fun with. It's us "DMing" a game of D&D with members from the audience. However, we do not use any dice. Instead, the party members, made up from the audience, must do their skill checks using a jenga tower, with various arbitrary challenges thrown in the way, such as being unable to use your hands, dance while removing 3 pieces, remove a piece while a DM dances infront of you, etc. When the jenga tower falls, that person is dead, and we bring up someone new.

When will your second panel be? I can't seem to find it on the schedule.

Finally decided on cosplay lineup. Friday I'll be Miss Pauling from TF2 and on Saturday will be Sailor Neptune. I've been really sick for the past week so I'm really hoping to be better by Friday. Looking forward to it this year. The con seems to be a lot better now that they are under new management imo. The pins are really cute too. Anyone going to be getting the pins?

I've just read over the policies, and there is no mention of Homestuck or body paint bans.
I'm sure the news of banning Homestuck cosplay has more to do with the hotels and rented rooms that the cosplayers have to clean up in. Many of these kids will trash the bathroom while showering off their bodypaint. When that happens, the housekeepers (that's me) have to spend extra time scrubbing out the bathroom, and the paint sometimes stains the walls and shower curtains.

tl;dr No bans in A-thon policies. Homestucks are just fuckwits who trash hotel bathrooms.

I have a new job since last year, though, and this one actually has me working one of the booths in the Vendor's Hall. I'll drop a hint: I'm going to be wearing a Hotline Miami getup and selling video games.

Tl;dr
there was a light Yagami who always impregnated his girlfriend, and a dude with REMARKABLY bad teeth.
You also missed out on fun, but what ever.

On the subejct of Zapps Panel, Jojo poses are always fun. Everything else looked fun too. He should keep on bringing the fun.
