Welcome To The New World...Of On-Line Panels


Today, as I avoided the heat of outside, I happened upon an on-line panel as it started on Facebook. It was hosted by my friend Ro (shameless name-dropping here...) for FanX. The topic was timely--making masks that are both functional and fashionable.

And I realized, it's the future.

FanX, Utah's biggest cultural celebration for close to a decade, is slated to open its doors this coming September. Many similar conventions have either chosen to go to an all-on-line format, or cancel the events all together due to the Coronavirus.

More of the New Normal, I suppose.

We made several masks months ago, but what was cool about this panel was making masks using materials to guarantee the coolest mask possible. If you have Marvel material, or DC, or Simpsons, or Disney, or material from any fandom, you can make a mask to show everyone your style.

Yes, on-line meetings and panels...the future--envisioned by such artistic programs as The Jetsons and Star Trek have come true! And we're living in it.
