Isn't it a little late to be applying for 2013? :P

[Mr. Wendell]

Gee, I thought I made all the correct changes to the cut and paste...

Thank you for the proofread. Edited and hopefully people will perform on our Stage!

In the past have any bands performed live video game and anime music? Would that even be allowed?  :)

Unfortunately, current San Jose Convention Center regulations do not permit Stage Zero to have live bands performing on our Stage.

I've been wondering if Stage Zero would be a good venue to do a late night Rocky Horror Picture show anime style? I know since it's rated R (and needs to be re-rated) that it can't be seen by under 18 years old but I think it would be a great show for stage zero. Or would a late night panel be a better choice (for ID checking and subject matter)?

Anything that requires ID to be checked can't be shown on Stage Zero.
