Black and White Ball Question

[orangepopper]

How old do you have to be to attend the Black and White ball and the masqurade? Thanks!

[ewu]

the Dance and the Yaoi/Yuri rooms are the only non all ages events. (certain other age specific special events too)

Admission to Masquerade is all ages, but if you want to participate, e-mail me.

There's an age restriction for the dance? Out of curiosity, what is it, and when was this implemented? (I remember going to the dance as a wee youngin' back in the day...)

I had no idea. XD;;

[ewu]

Sorry, I mistook the rovers outside the dance as ID checkers when they were really just looking for stupid people....

[orangepopper]

so i would be able to go to the black and white all? (thanks) ;D

[Okach]

I should probably be sending all ages songs, then, lol.

There is no age limit for the Black and White Ball.  Last year there was a cute toddler that was dancing across the floor with his mother.  So you should be fine coming in.  The people at the front door are there to ensure that people are adhering to the dress code for the event and to make sure that people are not causing any trouble. 

We will try to play appropriate music at the dance and most of the songs will either be from Anime, J-pop, or video games.  However there may be exceptions (west coast swing, tango, etc.).

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. :D

This may be a silly question but as I've never attended before I was wondering if personal camera's were allowed into the Black and White Ball.

Thanks for whatever answers I can get.  :D

Personal cameras are fine for the BWBall.  Feel free to bring them in.  One thing to remember though, we do not have a coat check at the Ball so you will have to carry it on your person.  Hope that helps.

So this year the BWBall is going to fall on Sunday May 30, 2010 and it will be at the Fairmont Hotel.  The hours are yet TBA.  Admission to the Ball is included in the price of your weekend pass for FanimeCon (or your day pass for Sunday should you only decide to go to FanimeCon for that day).  So no need to buy tickets or anything like that.  The dance lessons leading up to the BWBall will be held in the J Ballroom in the Convention Center on the days leading up to the BWBall (Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday).  There will be more information posted on the FanimeCon website soon so keep looking for updates.  Hope this helps.

Hopefully it's not at the same time as the MF concert because that totally sucked last year.

The BWBall usually takes place the same day and time as Musicfest.  This year will be no exception.  Sorry.
