Stunning realization

August 22, 2003 - 1:24 am 2 Comments

I’m all signed up for Journalcon 2003, and confirmed as a panelist in the session titled “Niches and Hoes: Specialty Web Sites”. When I went to the Programming page to see if my name was there, I saw that I was a moderator. Zoinks! Sure enough, that’s what I was asked to be.

Hopefully the panels won’t be as formal and structured as panels at other conferences. I’m a little anxious though – I don’t know many of the journal crowd, and here I’m going to be speaking. I hope it won’t end like all the school dances I went to: alone and crying in the bathroom. Okay, not all the dances were like that. Just middle school. Shudder.

Anyway, I’m scouring Google for ‘panel moderator tips’.

I really hated middle school. That’s another story for another day.

    Don’t worry! You and I can talk about the moderator stuff and it’ll be a cinch.

    Lots of people seem to be nervous about going to JournalCon for the first time, thinking no one will talk to them or eat lunch with them and they’ll have to hide in the bathroom. I felt that way when I went to the one in Chicago in 2001. But it all works out okay, hell, it’s even fun.
