So we had the Newgrounds Panel at Derpycon, I had a lot of fun hosting it along side with @nicksenny and @septicsebi from @pukebomb thank you guys so much.
I walked into the building from the parking lot and the very first person I see when I walk in is @wegra lol
Before the panel start I had a slideshow of Pomni fanart play on the big screen as I'm waiting for people to come in.
Here is the playlist of the entire slideshow of Pomnis:
At the panel we started by introducing ourselves and hyping up the crowd, and talked about what we do, then we showed about an hour of Newgrounds animations. Big shout out to @disconnecty for recording the reactions and videos shown as well as @Nicksenny. It ended up being a pretty decent crowd especially being one of the last panels on a Friday night.
BIG THANKS ALSO to @nicksenny for putting together a video of the panel, you guys should watch it, he did such a great job editing and putting it together.

Thank you to all the Newgrounders who also came out too @wegra @tamag0 @disconnecty, @studiosnowlion and @spinalpalm who was about to make the hour drive right after his comedy show but unfortunately registration closed so he wouldn't have been able to get in.
Thank you @TomFulp for putting the post on the front page and just hosting a great site for content creators.
This was my first time ever doing a panel and it was so much fun, and got to meet a lot of people who were also into Newgrounds content.
Also I used @sirlenward 's NJ Meetup sticker at the end, lol
Here is the entire playlist of what was shown at the Panel, thank you to all the amazing content creators on Newgrounds that also helped make this possible.
As for the future, if I do Derpycon again I'm hoping next time to get a better time slot like a little earlier or on a Saturday.
Also if I do it again I'll announce it ahead of time like in June or July next year. It's also only 20 minutes away from Yestercades so maybe next year it could be a NG Panel/Yestercades meetup. Although the arcade selection at Derpycon is actually pretty good for it's small size, a guy I met from Massachusetts told me it's way better than the one at Anime Boston.
ALSO I put in an application for Magfest in 2024 fingers crossed. If not there will be several other Newgrounders attending Magfest maybe we could have a little meetup there too.

I was waiting to hear about this post!
