Cassandra Hodges, ArtJam, Table Space, Photoshoots

Announcement time again.

For those who haven't heard, one of the guests scheduled to attend AnimeIowa 2011, Cassandra Hodges, has passed away. Details are yet unknown. As a fan, I am sad to not get the chance to meet her, but I know my sadness is nothing compared to that of her friends and family.
Forum topic discussing how to honor her memory at the convention.

I'm considering getting together some kind of artist collaboration to honor her memory. I'm thinking along the lines of fanart, not of her characters, but of her herself. Anyone interested? Thoughts? Ideas?

So, OUR panel will not be running, BUT the guest who is hosting an Art Jam has agreed to host it during the Cosplay Masquerade! I am under the impression that there will be more than one art jam though, so those who would prefer a different time may get the opportunity. At this point I am not in charge of these panels.

We've had more inquiries from those who wish to share table space in the Dealers Room/Artist Alley. LadyGigi (deviantart username unknown) of Gigi's Loli Garden does NOT currently have a table reserved and would like to share with a willing party. Please see her forum post here: www.animeiowa.com/cgi-bin/smf/… Also, this thread is helping people find table buddies: www.animeiowa.com/cgi-bin/smf/…

I have gotten inquiries about helping people to find cosplay groups, and photoshoot sessions! Please feel free to post here if you are organizing a cosplay group or a photoshoot at the con!

Groups that I know of so far:
Official Photoshoot Schedule
TheRestlessCosplay is seeking other Princess Tutu cosplayers!
Junjou Romantica
Harry Potter
Vocaloid
Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Tokyo Mew Mew
Legend of Zelda

Let me know if there are any to add to the list!

That's all for now! Sayounara Bye Bye!
