There’s a few things I learned from my failures with the Ashley’s Anime panel versus my experiences with Black Moor, and if you’re going to be hosting a fandom-like panel, you may want to keep these tips in mind. When I saw just how early the Ashley’s Anime panel was going to be, I could have cried; that was already earlier than I wanted to be at the convention in the first place, but it also gave me very little time to prepare in the morning should I need any last-minute things. Since I spent so much time on Black Moor’s panel, I had absolutely no time to prepare the kind of bio I would have liked for my presentation. I found this to be one of the things the Ashley’s Anime panel was missing and the one thing Black Moor had really going for it.

I’m not sure if it’s the ponytails or just the expression of confusion on this possibly fake Miku doll, but any time Briar is out she’s constantly looking for her friend. Here’s exactly what I brought with me for preparations; a solid cat carrier to get her to the con, and also where she could go to be bathroom, a fabric carrier that she’d sleep in and that operated much like a backpack, water, treats, toys and and old shirt for her to sleep in. Third: Don’t bring an animal you know shouldn’t leave the house.

Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t miserable, but I certainly experienced a lot of hardships I’d never faced before. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of things wrong with One Piece, it’s far from perfect. It’s a great shounen, it’s perhaps one of the best, but that doesn’t mean it’s flawless. There’s a lot that I can say I’ve done, but there’s so much more I want to do.
