Hello, I hope this is in the right place. sweatdrop

A few friends and myself are in the process of planning a panel for a smaller convention near Pittsburgh, and the cosplayer in charge has gone over the top and is planning all sorts of elaborate things to go with this panel. We are all cosplaying from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (I am Nagato) and would like the panel to be focused on this anime. However, panels tend to be short, and "Haruhi" is planning something which would take over an hour, with WAY too much research involved.

Any ideas to keep me from going crazy?
