Greg and Lizzy from The Con Hour will be bringing many panels to our convention this year. Their panels consist of podcasting, videocasting, ins and outs of podcasting, how to self-publish and how to make a channel grow.
Greg is a self-publishing, award-winning author with both eBooks and Audiobooks. One of the special panels that Greg will be conducting how to copywrite your material, it’s panel you won’t want to miss.
Lizzy Hedgehog is a renowned cosplayer who we are quite certain is related to Sonic the Hedgehog. She’s doing a 23 and Me DNA test and we will solve that mystery soon enough. We just hope there isn’t any Dr. Eggman or Robotnik in her bloodlines. In all seriousness Lizzy is very talented and is going to be hosting panels on designing a costume. This panel is important for those of you who wish to cosplay or find out more about the cosplaying world, because Lizzy will be discussing everything from picking the right cosplay for you, to designing your cosplay, to the cost of cosplay materials. She’ll be your own Marin Kitagawa!
Lizzy will also be discussing her survival story from a brain tumor and how gaming (in moderation) helped her as a form of physical therapy.
