[penguicon-general] Random Panel suggestion.

[Matt Arnold]

Here's another Random Panel Suggestion. Juanita Overmyer and a friend
of hers want to do a panel on Asian ball-jointed dolls. These are the
dolls that inspired those surreal girl robots in the sequel to the
Ghost In The Shell movie:

Apparently Asian ball-jointed dolls all the rage among anime fans. So
that's a sub-group of the anime sub-group. Well, I said "yes". There
is no harm in giving anything a try one time if a bunch of our
attendees like it. Especially if it attracts those anime fans with
their vitality and enthusiasm and vast numbers and their parents'
disposable income.  :)
