Sinpozium 2022 - this time its online!
Online Sinpoz is confirmed!
It seems like there's enough interest to go ahead with an online Sinpozium this year. It will be held via Zoom on Saturday 23 April* (which means that if there's enough content/interest, maybe even extend it to Sunday 24 April?)
Content
I've got a discussion topic I'm planning, Meelie has volunteered a vidshow, but what we need is more content! Please suggest and/or volunteer! Pimp or celebrate a fandom (surely someone wants to pounce on Our Flag Means Death?)! Suggest a group activity/game! Suggest a discussion topic (that you either lead or would like to happen without you have to do that)!
First Times
Something I would like to do is a Celebration of First Meetings! We'll assemble clips, and reminisce/discuss and maybe people can volunteer to introduce the clip for their OTP etc etc. But for starters, need suggestions of first meetings (and make it specific, like details of episode, maybe even the timing of episode. Provising an edited video or link to youtube clip would be even better).
Picnic
We're still considering a picnic meetup on the Sunday for Sydney locals, but given Sydney weather for the last few months...it feels like tempting fate trying to plan it yet. And I would feel terribly guilty if our hubris in attempting to plan such a thing made Anzac Day a washout...

(Also that first meetings thing sounds fun! Ones that come to mind immediately are the crash in Smallville, the boat in XMFC, idk if you would count the rooftop as first for CQL...)

And yes, I need to start working the first meetings, and somehow I did not have XMFC on the list, but I did have CQL rooftop, and that’s a good point. First meeting that audience sees or from character POV?
