FANX 2019
It's so strange to be able to do my dream job all weekend and return to looking for a job on monday. Just a reminder that what you see isn't exactly what is always going on.
I wanted to take a moment to thank Blake Casselman and Alexis Weight for looking out for me and helping me with all the panel drama. For the record: I was told that there might be an issue with Hayden and Ian's panel, but I wasn't told the reason, nor did I ask.
My job as a moderator is to be prepared. That means
- be prepared to go out there and play traffic cop,
- be prepared to be the only one asking questions and most importantly
- be prepared to be bumped without whining. The fact I was even asked to be the one to conduct the panel was an honor.
The panels I did moderate were fantastic. Patrick Renna was a great guy,
Pearl Mackie was the sweetest person ever. She has lifelong fan of my wife and I. And she's a hugger. I'm not a hugger and never ask a guest for a hug out of respect but when Pearl Mackie throws her arms around you for a hug, you hug back! Just the best!
And Jonny Cruz and Lucie Pohl were funny and energetic.
The FanX media team is the best. Thanks for all the photos! My fellow panelists were fun to be with. Thanks to Dan Farr and Bryan Brandenburg for putting on a great show!
See you next year!
