Weighing the Pocky War and Inuyasha skits, I have to say that this one will not work as a skit this year.
I'm hoping to set it up as a boffer panel instead, where people can simply come in, grab a headband and sword, and play. I was hoping to hold it at a park or at Pioneer Courthouse Square, but I suspect that Portland might not react kindly to it.
The skit is down as far as competing goes, but if anyone wanted to do the story as part of the panel then the spots are still open.
Which brings me to ask the Mods to move this topic to where they see fit, and ask if they would approve of this being a panel. I also want to set up a boffer sword creation station panel before this so it can flow right from one to the other.
