Hi guys. I put in a request to Oni-Con to host these panels. Haven't heard anything from them yet, though.

DYI Dressing Dummies: The Pros and Cons of each style of DYI Dressing Dummies. Tips and Trick in making them, and manuals available.

Anime Swap: Bring your old merchandise to exchange with others! Anime, games, costumes, manga, etc.

Con Etiquette: The "Do"s and "Don't"s of convention behavior. What annoys people, what people like, what will get you kicked out of the hotel, the convention, or possibly arrested. What the guests like, what the con ops prefer, the hotel worker's view on the con behavior. Your general discussion on what is and not acceptable at conventions.

Even if we are not able to do these at Oni-Con, we are currently trying to get slots with Yule-Con.

Ooooh Anime swap sounds

Ooooh Anime swap sounds interesting! I definitely have some manga and anime I'd be willing to trade for something else that caught my eye. Good idea!

And I don't know if I'm just out of the loop or what, and I feel a bit silly asking this, but what are DYI Dressing Dummies? ^^;;

DYI Dressing Dummies are

DYI Dressing Dummies are Dressing/Costuming Dummies that you can make from home, yourself, that match your own shape. As opposed to paying $100-$200 on a dummy at a fabric store that does not match your shape.

OH! I've only ever heard

OH! I've only ever heard them called dressforms.

And now that I understand it... that is and AMAZING idea!!! If you get it approved I will try my absolute hardest to go! (My current Dressing Dummy is a second-hand that doesn't match my measurements at all so it's almost useless T.T)

I would sure love to help you

I would sure love to help you out in getting the DIY Dress Form. I have used one for a long time. And this one is made out of Ductape. But I have also made one out of UPS packaging tape and what not.
