For anyone who may have been interested, the Touhou Project panel was not accepted. We had full confidence that the actual application was the best we could swing, but I wager that since we'd be new there, the panel is long, we'd need a primo timeslot to make sure all of the panelists were available, etc., it wasn't accepted.
Also a couple of friends won't be bringing their full array of rigs with every last mutually shared legal copy of Touhou and miscellaneous other games we could stuff in them. Instead, this year is being used to size up MAGFest since it's a straight-up gaming and music con and they'd like to see how things operate so they can fit in next year.
Else get hype. My Lon'qu from Pennsylvania outfit is almost done and I can't wait to see y'all anyway.
