Today I know a timetable is out on the main page....yet many things remain unclear. For instance I have no idea how the focus panels are scheduled.

Ah i see the schedule now.

I'm a little confused about the timing of the autograph sessions and the focus panels. Why are the autograph sessions held before the focus panels?. Almost every other con I've ever been to has the autographs some time after the panel.

Okay, I dunno if any staff check out the forums anymore but I must say theres a lot that doesnt make sense. Who made this schedule? Have they ever been to a con before?

The autograph sessions being before the focus panel situation. For many reasons this does not make sense. I will be at PMX, but it looks like I will have to line up super early for the autograph sessions since I dont know whats going on. I wont have any information I normally would have gotten at the focus panel. Also fans wont be able to meet the guests of honor before the session so they will have to base whether they want an autograph or not solely on information on the internet.

I know its 2 and a half days, but why is friday the half day and not sunday? People need to go home on sunday. Especially if anyone flew in or drove long distances to get to PMX. These actually so less stuff happening on friday I think Im not gonna show up that day.

It's kind of strange to listen to someone talk at a panel and then suddenly decide you want their autograph

I've actually gone to panels when I didnt know the guest, or was only vaguely aware of their work. Im sure other people do to. I saw Nightow at AX back when Trigun first came out and no one knew what it was (as in ep 2 was playing in Japan at the time). Afterwards I asked for a Trigun sketch.

Also when I went to the Takahiro Yoshimatsu panel I found out he worked on Gekiganger 3, one of my fav non-existent animes. I was able to get him to autograph my Gekiganger 3 shitajiki.

Of course this doesnt answer the question of why the schedule doesnt make sense.
