The programming department at Anime Expo this year went through a total revamp as far as infrastructure goes, but the rest of you don't worry your little heads about that.
So here goes....
The Event: The Art of Glowsticking, a workshop that GS.C runs at Anime Expo each year to teach the general public who wouldn't normally know about us or raves in general about everything glowsticking.
The Place: Anime Expo is going to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center this year. The specific location of our workshop will be posted here once our event is confirmed.
The Time: Anime Expo is July 3-6 this year. The weekend after
EDC. That's a Thursday-Sunday. Our workshop will most likely be scheduled for the evening on July 4th (Friday) or July 5th (Saturday).
The Perks: Instructors get a full weekend pass to attend Anime Expo (valued at $55 right now, $60 in June, and $65 at the door).
The Commitment: If selected as an instructor your life and soul belongs to me the day of the workshop (or at least the hours leading up to it), the rest of the time you can enjoy the convention as you wish, but whatever day the workshop happens to be...you are MINE...just kidding...not really.
The Instructors: This is the part where you let me know of your interest in being an instructor for the workshop. Keep in mind what being an instructor means.
You are at least 18 years of age.
You possess MORE than a cursory understanding of our culture and our stance on battling and crews.
You are willing to TEACH and be patient with people who may never have held a glowstick in their lives.
You are free July 4th weekend and can be AT the Los Angeles Convention Center during that time, I apologize for not being able to organize transportation or housing, you guys will have to figure that our yourselves.
You know how to glowstick/string (we usually need more stringing instructors)
If you're going to be at Anime Expo anyways, feel free to include that. If you've already registered for a badge and paid for it...sorry sucks to be you.
Instructors from last year are welcome again this year.
I'm not going to make you guys fill out a lengthy application like I did last year. Just email me at
Manganate@gmail.comInclude your full name, the city and state you're from, your cellphone number (or a number I can reach you at), and your nickname, and whether you can teach freehanding or stringing.
We have around 25-30 slots this year, last year I didn't get enough applicants to fill in all the spaces but that may change this year so send your interest to my email quickly.
Finally, and this is the most important part. The deadline for emailing me about being an instructor is going to be April 30th!We're on a tight schedule this year with Anime Expo wanting all the information from us early. I will be sending the full list of instructors to their programming director for registration and processing no later than May 4th after that we're locked in you're locked out (if you didn't send me an email about wanting to be an instructor)
Alright guys...let the madness begin.
