Even though I'm a bit early, I guess I'll begin!

I haven't written a report of any sort yet of course, nor do I have any photos up, but such media will be located @ my website here (please excuse the under construction sign, I'm working on a new layout). I'm hoping to upload photos each night of the con, but I don't know if I'll have time.

Can't wait to see you guys at Fanime! (:

I've been procrastinating all week and only got to work uploading stuff today! @___@; I still have to upload videos & complete reports, which will hopefully be up later this week. (I have finals coming up so I haven't had much time to do all this, sorry again...)

HYPE

I ended up only posting a few, since others were blurry (ie. the entire masquerade xx; ) or I was just lazy. If you remember me (for the majority of the con I was Piffle!Sakura / a girl in pink) and don't see your photo up, feel free to PM me and I'll be glad to send photos to you!

I also apologize for the rushed design (*coughlackthereofcough*) of the website. Hopefully it'll be done by Sac Anime.

Cheers from Darren, the two-flash guy.

They aren't up just yet, but they will be by the end of tonight.

So, please visit the Sacramento Animé club's website tonight or tomorrow, to see our pictures.  Thanks to all of you who posed for us, and all of the effort you put into your awesome costumes.  As always, if you see a photo of yourself up, and you don't want it up, just let us know, and we will take it down ;-)  Also, if you are one of the people in a photo we took, and you would like a high resolution, non-watermarked copy, just send us a little message and we will do our best to accommodate you.

See you all next year (with all new costumes next year!)

EDIT: the photos are now up!  Enjoy!

EDIT #2: we are in the process of putting up some videos!  We have 2 up now, and will have more up shortly.  Go check them out. At http://sacanime.asayogure.com/media.shtml

EDIT #3: OUR SITE MOVED -- so I had to update the URL
A Sacramento animé club.

I have too many photos to count of spectacular cosplay outfits.  I'll probably tack most of them up on my cosplay.com account later, under the same username, so if anyone wants a picture I took of them, it's probably there. 

I also have pictures of the whole Evangelists vs. Fanime + Jesus debacle. 8D

So many outfits that were awesome and totally fantastic.  Not enough space on my camera. ><

Masquerade Comments and Thoughts:
- As much as I generally like the tech people who make our lighting and music possible, I really, really, really wish that they hadn't screwed up on our skit. (#3 Ouran in Wonderland by OH!smeCK)  Our music started early, which was kind of awkward, there was supposed to be a blackout that never came, which really screwed up with our timing, forced us to improvise, probably really confused the audience, and generally was really annoying. v____v

I ended up mentally cringing every time the stage blacked out afterwards, thinking 'why couldn't they do that for us? DDX'

- Oh god, the Haruhi dance.  So many groups did it, and I feel kind of bad for the people who did it later because some of them did it really well, and they were just unlucky to end up doing it after a whole bunch of others.  Thus, little to no applause.

Props to the Haruhi dancers. ;D

- CANDY MOUNTAIN!!!111!!11kjaflskjdflsdfkj!!!11potatoes!! 

It's hard for me to say much more without it being reduced to crazy fangirlish squeeing.  But, er, yeah.  SO MUCH LOVE.  This was definitely my favorite skit.  I thought my day had been made complete with the Jesus and Christian people drama by the fountains.  BUT IT WASN'T.

My Win-Meter shorted out some time during the skit from too much awesomeness.

"Too sexy for this con... too sexy for this con..."

- SLAYERS.  Wonderful, beautiful Slayers cosplays and a hilarious skit.  Props to them for winning too. ;DD

- There was so much dancing this year.  And most of it was well done too, like prepared beforehand and choreographed, instead of 'oh, random dance off that we'll just do on the fly'.  So that's a change for the better.

- This stage was well enough, but I kind of liked last year's better.  Dunno, I just felt like the audience was a lot more enthusiastic last year, and that it has something to do with the stage.  Also because it went totally pitch black in the other stage, and that worked well with the skits.

- Shiny Alucard cosplayer of win.

And more comments when I think of them. XD

Working furiously with 3 other of my staff members. I thought we had 200 pictures, apparently we took 1700...
:'(
Will update on progress and provide links as sets are completed.

All Masquerade skits were also recorded from the 2nd row, those will be uploaded later on our site and a high quality version will also be available for download probably next week.

Lots and lots of the Hellsing gathering. :P
Fanime 2014: Mass Effect fem!Shep still incomplete. No cosplay this year.

Obscure as this sounds, requesting images or the identity of whomever was cosplaying Hatsune Miku. I think I know her. I believe I saw a picture of her back in one of the links on this page.

And to try to give some identity behind my odd request, I was the tall Nabeshin.
