Happy Saturday ClexaConners and everyone checking out this coverage. I’ve got my breakdown for the very full Saturday of ClexaCon for you right here. Again please note there will be minor gaps in coverage where I am taking part of private elements or won’t be able to live tweet or stream. Today is a big day because I’ll actually be presenting on a panel today! You can follow our coverage on our Twitter account, @thenerdygirlexp, and I’ll also be sharing a bit from my personal account, @kleffnotes. Please note all times listed in the article are West Coast/PST specific.

ClexaCon Panelist Profile: Susan Surftone from @kleffnotes ( @ClexaCon )

Katherine Kleffner

Susan Surftone is a remarkable woman who is never afraid to speak her mind. While she is currently a surf guitarist, singer, and songwriter, she has worked for the FBI and in other intensive work environments. Throughout it all she has never backed down from a challenge and her story is an inspiration for LGBT+ women everywhere. In this ClexaCon profile I’ll share more about Surftone’s life and you can learn more about her at both The Politics of Representation panel, tomorrow from 4-5, and at the Diversity and Inclusion panel on Sunday from 2-3.

@ClexaCon Countdown: Keep Calm and ClexaCon On from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

ClexaCon is next week!!!! Are you ready?!?! Okay, I am being a bit extreme on the exclamation points, but I am so freaking excited because in just a little over a week I will be surrounded by queer women and chatting about all the things I love in the wonderful environment that is ClexaCon. If you’ve never been to a convention before or even if you’ve been to one before and are feeling a bit anxious I have some tips for avoiding nerves while you get your con on.

@ClexaCon Countdown: @tellofilms Highlight from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Last week I focused on the sponsors of ClexaCon, but I intentionally did not discuss Tello Films so that I could focus a bit more on this specific sponsor. While LGBT+ representation has been slowly growing in television and in movies, there is still so much work to be done to improve and increase the amount of characters we see who identify as part of the community. Tello Films has been working hard since their creation in 2007 with a focus on lesbian and queer characters and they refuse to allow any programming to end with the death of a lesbian character. I wanted to highlight some of their series for those of you who may not be as familiar with their programming as we get closer to convention time.

For 2018 they have a number of partners who are working with them to bring some great LGBT+ content to fans. I will explain each of the partners and will share some brief elements for those I interacted with at previous conventions.

@ClexaCon Countdown: Hello #Hollstein! from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Are you ready for Hollstein?! This year Natasha Negovanlis and Elise Bauman are returning for a Hollstein panel, moderated by Dana Piccoli, and my hopes are super high. Last year’s panel involved both actors presenting female/female scenes that Dana had picked and they were just so amazing. They were so willing to fully embrace the scenes and I am very sure that there will be more fun moments this year. Continue reading “@ClexaCon Countdown: Hello #Hollstein! from @kleffnotes”
