It's time to let go of those adult responsibilities and just be a kid again! What's better than an AnthroCoaster? The theme-park and goodies surrounding it! What kid doesn't like a big bag of popcorn, cotton candy, or ice cream? Well, we might not have those, but we'll try to have at least the scratch-and-sniff stickers! Get on the nostalgia ride with us, as we explore what it means to be Young at Heart once more. We encourage our guests to this panel to bring toys for sharing (and hand-sanitizer too), but please - no sharing of food or drink.


This event prohibits recording: No photos. No video. No audio. Please keep phones on silent and put away. Please do not bring any sort of camera or recording device; you will be told to leave.

• Please look at my profile for a complete list of guidelines for this panel.

FAQ:

Q: Can I take photos / video?

No. Never. Cannot. Zip. Zilch. Do not get a grab bag, do not get to hear story time. If it can take a photo, video, record sound, or any combination thereof, it is NOT permitted during the panel. This includes before (lining up), during, and after (while everybody is exiting). We do NOT want cameras anywhere near the panel and our guests. You will be told to leave and may end up at ConOps explaining yourself.

Q: AnthroCon has a clause about photos and videos that says...
A: We're permitted by AnthroCon to forbid the use of camers and other devices at our panel. Even if it's a pinhole camera made out of a cereal box, you will be told to leave.

Q: But I really want to take photos for (insert reason).
A: There are zero exceptions to our photo / recording policy.

Q: I'm just going to play on my phone, then...
A: Any smart device is to be put on silent or turned off, and put away for the duration of the panel. The only exceptions are medically-necessary devices such as CGMs and non-verbal communication devices. If we see a person with their phone (or other device) out and acting suspiciously with it, that person will be told to leave.



Q: Will there be security?

A: We have asked for badge-checkers at the door and expressed a need for them to remain for the duration of the panel. What AnthroCon can provide is based around how many volunteers are available at the time. We will be doing our best to minimize the number of people coming in after we close the doors, but also understand some people may arrive late. We'll do our best to let our guests in and keep nebby individuals and minors out.



Q: What is the panel like?

A: Young at Heart is like a big playdate. Near the start of the panel, a children's book will be read to help set the mood, and grabbags will be handed out. The items within the grabbags vary slightly to encourage friend-making through swapping stickers and activity books. We provide crayons and activity / colouring sheets to encourage parallel play. The middle of the panel is free time, allowing for this interaction. Towards the end of the panel, we have the children's book parodies with cheeky adult humor. We do these at the end because we realise not everybody wants to hear these stories while in littlespace. You are free to leave as soon or late as you wish, and nobody will force you to interact with anybody. If you're sitting alone, however, one of the panel hosts might come to check on you to make sure you're okay. ♥ We want everybody to be comfortable as possible.



Q: I'm bringing snacks for my small friend group, is that okay?

A: 100% a-okay! If you're bringing something like cookies for your current friends who you know will be at the panel, it's fine. But please share only among your small group. You (the food-bringer) are also responsible for cleaning up any mess caused by partaking in said snacks. Even though the point of the panel is to make new friends, we do not bring snacks for everybody. What we're avoiding is tons of cumbs, candy, and wrappers on the floor. We also have to mind the rules of AnthroCon, which prohibits the vending of food at panels. Above all else, we're keeping safety in mind. Your snacks might have something others are allergic to.
