NWA5 Writers Forum
Attended the NWA5 forum as promised. Was only able to get away with two poor-quality pictures. I’m sure others have gotten better.

Later in the day, Professor Emil Flores joined the panel.

A lot of interesting ideas were brought up, but I’m afraid I have to plead guilty to not having heard much because of the bad acoustics. Charles, however, has three blog posts inspired by the event, and even has a pretty audible recording of the talk linked to this post.
It was a great gathering – I wish there was more time to get to know everyone and better hear each other out. Well, maybe next time :)
After the Writers Forum, there was also a talk on science fiction in Philippine cinema, led by Quark Henares, but I’m afraid I only had so much time out of doors yesterday, so I wasn’t able to attend. Can anyone point me to an account of what went on in that talk?
And in case anyone at the Writers Forum was wondering about the guy with the red lightsaber through his head, it was artist extraordinaire Paul Idario:
…and in this pic, he holds up a kickass original print made by him, and a magazine cover featuring this artwork. I’ve put up some pics on this particular page of this fansite.
I love Paul’s art and I love this series. PS: have you taken the quiz? I’d love to know who you got.
Hey! Unfair! Why didn’t you introduce yourself! Grr! (Or at least hung after: the dinner talk was really great.) ;-)
P.S. Er, no links please :-)
eep!! gotcha. entire link deleted :)
so sorry – only had a little time left to hang out with old friends. it may be a long shot to ask for a gist/transcript/recording of the dinner talk, but why not devah XD
I really really wish I had gone. Of course considering the way things went (c.f. latest entry at Miamor) I would’ve been the most brain-dead panelist ever and would probably have talked in math instead of coherent English.
Hayyyyyy. Maybe next year.
As for the quiz… I’m Michael? WTF. T_______T
talking in math would definitely be memorable! although it might be more fun to talk in math in a closed conference room or a small outdoor group – the acoustics were really not good.
next year, yes!
oi michael’s my favorite (wow ha, are you that angry? XD).
The gists of our dinner was basically http://charles-tan.blogspot.com/2007/10/filipino-awareness.html
Except we were talking about Zaido and Marimar and other local TV shows and movies and Vhong Navarro.
Joey had a splitting headache so I used my Jedi mind tricks on him to forget the entire incident.
That and we have no video archives… (they were all taped over)
oi michael’s my favorite (wow ha, are you that angry? XD).
Nnnnoooo, not really. I just like singing…? XDDD
