Events

Crossplay Contest- Crossplay your way to stardom! Women dress as men, and men dress as women as the Kings and Queens of Bishie Con entertain you with costumes and skits! This is a cosplay contest/masquerade with one major rule: someone in each presentation must be cross-dressing in some way or another.

Bishie Date Auction- Back by popular demand, the Bishie Con Date Auction, where we auction off some of your favorite male AND FEMALE characters!!
That's right ladies and gentlemen! In the spirit of our GLBT-friendly convention, we are going to be "selling" several of Bishie Con's hottest female and male characters.
Bidders need to bring cash for their favorite characters. You support the con and get a great catered lunch date out of it!

Want to be one of our sexy date auction participants? All you have to do is fill out the application form and email it to,
Mad_as_hatter99@yahoo.com with a picture or two of your cosplay attached! Your deadline is December 1 at 11:59 p.m. Those who will be auctioned off will be announced at least a week before the con.
There will be an even amount of female and male characters, both being portrayed by either males or females. (I.E. Naruto is a male character, so he counts as a male, even if he is being cosplayed by a female).

My Big Fat Gay Wedding- Did your cosplay character meet that special someone this weekend? Want to renew your vows to your cosplay partner? We'll bring you a giant, multi-couple cosplay wedding complete with a reception and cake! (No, it's not a real wedding, folks.) To reserve a spot in advance, fill out this form and send it to the_bonkura_clan@hotmail.com.

Hetalia Host Party- Join the cast of Axis Powers Hetalia for a pampering party of international proportions! Taste the foods of our native lands, play games in the United Nations room, and bring some cash to bid on the belongings of your favorite country.

Under 18 Parties- Not old enough to get involved in the late-night festivities at Bishie Con? We'll keep the party going into the night in the con suite! One of our parties is Star Trek-themed and called "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations", a reference to Vulcan philosophy. The other is "Undertaker and Grell's Tea Party", a Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler-themed party.

Red Light Disco (Saturday Night Dance)- Our all-request dance incorporates dance music new and classic with an awesome light show.

Whose Line Is It Yaoi?- Improv actors will play games from the hit TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" with a yaoi twist! Audience participation is a huge part of the show, so come full of fun ideas. This event is 18+ only.

Open Karaoke- You're the entertainment! Come in for our open karaoke and dare your friends to embarrass themselves on stage. Sorry, but this is classic karaoke with mostly American and British music.

Hetalia WWIII- This isn't Bishie Con; this is WAR! Pick the Axis or the Allies, and fight it out on a giant game board with (non-dangerous) weapons.

Newlyweds: Bishie Style- Last year's awesome game show is back, this time with more 18+ awesomeness! Bring your cosplay partner or best friend, and see how much you know about each other.

Yaoi Bedtime Stories- At this 18+ event, our mavens of mayhem will read you smut until the cows come home!

Yaoi Christmas- Bring a white elephant gift that is yaoi-related for a hilarious gift exchange game. Enjoy naughty Christmas cookies. This MAY be an 18+ event.

Y-lympics- Are you a world champion kisser? A master of yaoi positions? Can you face our slightly perverse challenges to bring home the yaoi gold?

Quidditch World Cup- Pick your team. Take a broom. Put your quaffle through the hoop. This "down-to-earth" version of the sport from the Harry Potter series will get everyone in on the game.

Karaoke Contest- Choose your favorite song (showtunes, karaoke standards, and pop music of the 50s-90s) to perform for prizes and glory. Cross-gender song choices are encouraged!

Yaoi Checkers- Your favorite live-action board game returns with more slashy goodness and a bigger room! Join a team by signing up at the registration desk.

Panels

Do you have a topic you're passionate about that you'd like to present to others at Bishie Con? Want to lead a discussion on a yaoi-related subject? Have something you want to teach about cosplay, art, or writing? Consider being a panelist for 2010!

A panel is basically a scheduled presentation, workshop, or discussion on the topic of your choice. Although you can choose to speak on virtually any topic, we have a list of ideas that you can download here. Simply choose which panels you would like to sit on, and we'll try to schedule you around your time restrictions as best we can. If you have an idea for a description of any panel listed, you can list that on the back of your form.

Each panel counts as one hour of volunteer time except for workshops (where you demonstrate how to draw, cut a wig, etc.) which count as two hours of volunteer time. Each panel will receive a 1.5 hour time slot, but you only have to fill one hour of that time. You must be pre-registered before we will schedule your panels.
