During the convention, we will all be busy waiting in lines, getting autographs, attending panels, waiting for bathrooms, and squeeeing over all that is awesome that time to meet those you have been friends with online and across the globe often takes a serious back seat.

Geek Girls Exist Comic-Con Panel
Inspired a @geekgirldiva post, GGN will be hosting the very first "Geek Girls Exist" Panel for the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con! The focus of this panel is to promote "geek girls" in a positive manner and dispel the rumors that females only attend cons because their boyfriends dragged them or because they just want to dress in a Slave Leia costume.
The panel consists of women who represent different aspects of the geek culture and who have embraced their geekiness in their personal and/or professional lives. I will moderate the panel to discuss topics such as “when did you realize you were a geek,” “when did you decide to embrace it,” “what would you offer aspiring young females in your profession/interest,” as well as encourage anecdotes about embarrassing moments when their “geek got in the way.”
DETAILS:
The panel will be held Thursday July 22 from 5:30pm-6:30pm in Room 8.
Check out the amazing list of panelists (so far):
- Morgan Romine founder of Ubisoft’s all-girl gaming team The Frag Dolls
- Bonnie Burton author of You Can Draw Star Wars and Girls Against Girls
- Marian Call musician inspired by Firefly/Serenity and Battlestar Galactica with her album "Got to Fly"
- Sarah Kuhn author of One Con Glory
- Jill Pantozzi writer for MTV Splash Page, Newsarama, Has Boobs Reads Comics blog, and Heartless Doll
- Veronica Belmont technology and gaming-centric video host of Qore and Tekzilla
- Kiala Kazebee writer for io9, the SFWeekly, GeekWeek, and featured extra in Felicia Day’s The Guild
