COMIC-CON INTERNATIONALFollowing last year’s tradition, Comic-Con International: San Diego’s Thursday programming schedule has arrived exactly two weeks in advance, and like always, there’s no “easing into” things with this event — a staggering 16 panels are scheduled for the very first hour of the show, with the doors of the convention center barely open. We had all of DC’s programming earlier, so here are a few selected highlights of what to expect on July 21. The full, massive list is here, and check back in the coming days for the rest.
10:45-11:45 Oh, You Sexy Geek!— Does displaying the sexiness of fangirls benefit or demean them? When geek girls show off, are they liberating themselves or pandering to men? Do some “fake fangirls” blend sex appeal with nerdiness just to appeal to the growing geek/nerd market, or is that question itself unfair? And what’s up with all the Slave Leias? Action flick chick Katrina Hill (ActionFlickChick.com) asks Bonnie Burton (Grrl.com), Adrianne Curry (America’s Next Top Model), Clare Grant (Team Unicorn, “G33k & G4m3r Girls”), Kiala Kazebee (Nerdist.com), Clare Kramer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Nerdy Bird Jill Pantozzi (“Has Boobs, Reads Comics”), Jennifer K. Stuller (Ink-Stained Amazons, GeekGirlCon) and Chris Gore (G4TV’s Attack of the Show!) to discuss whether fans can be sexy and geeky at the same time — and if they should! Room 6A.
LIBERTY BELLE BALLThe Playboy Mansion opens its doors for the Liberty Belle Ball presented by the Marijuana Policy Project and GreenLife Medical Systems. As to be expected, the event is a marshalling of forces for the legalization of cannabis as a medicine, industrial fiber and alternative to alcohol. There will be special performances by Fishbone, celebrity DJs from Moheak Radio and Fire Groove; celebrity appearances from Adrianne Curry, Doug Benson, Chris Knight, Rob Van Dam, Tom Robbins, Kari Whitman, Slightly Stoopid and the cast of Workaholics; and, of course, plenty of bunny sightings.
