<\/a><\/p>\n[the panelists, from left to right: Tobie Abad<\/a>, Kenneth Yu<\/a> and Joseph Nacino]<\/p>\n Later in the day, Professor Emil Flores joined the panel.<\/p>\n [from left to right: Kenneth Yu, Prof. Flores and Joey Nacino]<\/p>\n 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<\/a>, however, has three<\/a> blog<\/a> posts<\/a> inspired by the event, and even has a pretty audible recording of the talk linked to this<\/a> post.<\/p>\n 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 :)<\/p>\n 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?<\/p>\n 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:<\/p>\n …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<\/a> of this fansite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
