AX and My First Public Lecture
Sunday morning, I went up on stage in front of a few dozen people and gave a lecture about interacting with professionals in the anime industry.
So that happened.
Yeah, Anime Expo wasn't as awesome as I would've hoped. The lecture went fine. People laughed, then asked questions, they learned a lot...I'd call that a success. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend Saturday and Sunday which limited my time. Plus a lot of the panels started late, the food was awful, and I was in pain both days during times I was just trying to enjoy myself.
One of the truly awesome things was getting to meet a bunch of friends I'd only known online. I really felt supported doing my lecture knowing that they had shown up to support me. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to give it again (many thanks to Matt to giving me a critique) or perhaps a different lecture next time.
Sadly, the person who was going to record it didn't make it until the very end, so it wasn't taped. Maybe next time.
