And under the category of "that was unexpected"...

Last week I e-mailed the workshop people at Conbust about possibly holding a costuming on the cheap session. Tonight I got home to find e-mail from Conbust asking me which panels I'd like to be on.

Uh....

Often con organizers aren't very organized.

You should probably reiterate the workshop proposal, with information on what you plan to do, what kind of space you'll need, and if you are willing to co-host if they have others interested in the same thing.

Then also give a list of interests you have (or things you've done) that you could be on panels for.

They usually like to have a person who has expertise in something also be on a few other panels, to help round them out. Sometimes, an organizer will end up putting 5 people on a panel that *none* of them proposed, so being able to improvise is very useful.

I've already asked for clarification. Conbust is run by college students, so I'm willing to cut them some slack. :)
