ALL WEEKEND:
We’ll be tabling at booth 815, with Al Ewing. Look for the big Days of Future Past wall (assuming we can get the stand done in time). We’ll have a ton of merch, including zines (including a new one!), t-shirts, and buttons; as well as the usual bad sketches and sharpie knuckle tats.
SATURDAY AT THE SHOW:
12:00 PM – JAY & MILES X-PLAIN THE X-MEN LIVE – Panel Room 5
- What it says on the tin: a live recording featuring an hour of ins, outs, retcons, and Q&A; with special guests Cullen Bunn and Greg Pak!
3:00 PM – WE’LL RETCON THIS LATER – Panel Room 9 (Jay only)
- Continuity mavens Al Ewing (Mighty Avengers), Douglas Wolk (Reading Comics), and Jay Edidin (Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men) discuss writing, reading, and finding buried treasure in shared-universe superhero timelines.
5:00 PM – COMICS & DISABILITY – Panel Room 9 (Jay only)
- How is disability represented across different comics genres? How might comics help support disability rights and neurodiversity? We’ll address these questions and more in a thought-provoking panel on the relationship between disability and comics.
SATURDAY AFTER HOURS:
OFFICIAL 2016 PARTY & MEETUP!
WHO: Us! You! Our friends! Your friends!
WHAT: The 2016 PDX Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men party and meetup! All-ages hangouts! Swag! Goofy photo props! Fancy drinks! Live tomfoolery! Fighting to protect a world that hates and fears us! A bowl full of sunglasses!
WHERE: The Steep & Thorny Way to Heaven (SE 2nd Ave. between Hawthorne and Madison – See map below)
WHEN: Saturday, September 10, 7:00-10:00 PM
OTHER PERTINENT DETAILS: Cosplay encouraged! Kids welcome!
Steep & Thorny is a private club! To get in, let the nice person at the door know that you are there for the X-Men party!
There will be a cash bar with alcoholic (adults only, with ID) and non-alcoholic (everyone) beverages! ADULTS: Please note that this is an all-ages event. If you get drunk and disorderly, we will kick your ass out.
Directions and further details at the Facebook event.
SUNDAY AT THE SHOW:
12:00 PM – TAKING FANDOM SERIOUSLY – Panel Room 9 (Jay only)
- Being a professional fan gets complicated, but we think it’s worth the trouble! Join us for a freewheeling conversation about turning fandom into a job and walking the fine line between geeking out and critically engaging with the material we love.
For those of us not able to attend, what with being a different continent and all, will you able to share at least the names of the cocktails from your party? 🙂
I didn’t take a pic of the non-alcohol (Hellion) drink menu, but my pics of the Hellfire Club menu show the following drinks:
Magneto made some valid points (Whisky based)
Inferno Watch (Tequila based)
Sebastian Shaw (Bourbon based)
Emma Frost (Vodka & gin based)
Selene Gallio (Vodka based)
🙂 Thanks for the info!
