Theres a big difference between furry fanodom and all out furries.
Im just not sure what it is, ones more extreme than the other.

There's no need to be rude about  it...
And it wont become a halfway house or a brothel; its going to make your paying customers who could only afford to pay for admission and woud otherwise have no place to sleep able to find repose.  If you're worried about hobos coming in, check con badges,

Some people can't afford hotel rooms!!!!!

1. Not that expensive
2. Fanime gets a lot of rooms already you have plenty of unused space
3.  You guys spend so much money on advertisement whats a futon gonna do?
4. Thrift store.
5. Thrift store, big lots, you can get such things very cheaply these days.
6. Buy locally.  Don't bother with shipping.
7. To hell with the unionsl have volunteers do it.
8. 4 hour shifts volunteer security/fireguard
9.  Easily done.
10. Why are there underage persons without a room in the first place? I'd be questioning the sanity of said parents who didn't bother to take them home or get a room with them./
11. Volunteers would be on 4 or 8 hour shifts
12. 4 hour shifts, day in and day out.  Use volunteers.
12. BO is easily handled by Glade plugins and/or handing out little samples of Axe bodyspray like my college does.

I don't see what is so difficult about that if you use cost effective budgeting practices and avoid union labor.

Seriously, either provide graveyard entertainment that doesn't involve porn or make it easier for congoers without rooms to get rest.

To answer that fellow's questions
1) Because they screwed up things for the lower staff, and because two years ago they allowed one of the worst animes ever to be shown at H night. You know which one I mean.
2) Because its in violation of the second amendment.

I am not trolling I am speaking my honest opinions.
It just so happens that some people find it offensive.
I'm not about to be some kind of Politically Correct guy for the sake of a few people who might disagree.

Say what you will but that doesn't change the fact that rap and anime don't mix.

Just listen to some lyrics of rap and tell me that its in any way artistic.
Try telling me that Eminem encouraging people to hate their mothers and kill people is good.
Or what about how they frequently refer to women as bitches and hoes?

Ok maybe I meant jailbait....
Too many 15 year olds with the figures of 18 year olds.
Curse you McDonalds and your beef steroids!!!!

That can be arranged.
I am a member of a lobbyist group trying to get swords included in the second amendment.

Well I did kinda walk out when I heard the lame roleplaying reason for your old character's abscence....and I didn't go back.

Um yes I would be saying the same thing.
Why should I suffer for the deeds of others?
it isn't right to punish the many innocent for the actions of the few guilty.

Rap fan, guro fan, sadist, sociopath, rapist, theyre all the same to me.

My idea is this: We use one of those big empty rooms to house 20-40 odd beds, cots, or futons to create a sort of communal sleeping room for people without rooms.  It could even have a fantasy setting theme to be like an Inn.

-There would be blankets and pillows available.
-The room will always be dark and quiet with the heat on

Hopefully this will curb people going insane from lack of sleep which causes hallucinations, anxiety, and an impairment of judgement.

-Porno Graffitti
-Two Mix
-Megumi Hayashibara
-The Black Mages
-The band that does Must Be Dreaming...we can play teh video from the Euphoria AMV in the background hehe

Eh its hard to curb the behaviour of some pervs...
Thats why I prefer to call myself an Akiba rather than an Otaku, because it has less perverted connotations.

GOOD
-Great costumes this year, especially the Winged elf and the Sephiroths.
-Friendly lower level staff
-No princess 69
-Hilarious AMVs, especially montage
-Abundance of pocky
-Dokkoida and Age of Chaos, nuff said

BAD

-Moronic upper management, as usual.
-Failure of some panels to show up
-My singing when one panel failed to arrive
-Eberron in the Gaming room
-No place to sleep
-Air conditioning always on
-New host character for mAsquerade not as funny as Deiter.  No funny voices = no funny.
-Peace bonding. I still hold taht it is a socialist practice.
-food...
-As usual, held on the same weekend as Baycon and Kublacon.
-No enough anime music playing on loudspeaker
-TOO MUCH RAP MUSIC!

Suggestions:

-Add a communal sleeping area with 50 or so cots for roomless fanime atendees to sleep in. Always keep it darka nd turn the heater on.  Also, some sleepy music would be nice, like the Crystal Theme or Real Folk Blues.

-More free form karaoke.

-Improv comedy.

-AMV Hell 3, nuff said

-Bring back Deiter or at least SOMEBODY with a funny accent.  California accent NOT funny.  English accent funny.  Australian accent funny. But NOT a "normal" accent.

-Hold it on a non kublacon weekend

-We're anime fans not hip hop loving, mysogynistic anarchist rapper types with no regard for culture whatsoever.  Hiphop and rap do NOT mix with anime, please get rid of all rap, hiphop and death metal.  Sorry if it sounds like a generalization, but most rap and hiphop is VERY mysogynistic, irreverant and violent.

Coolness.
I'm a big fan of courtly love and leaving flowers at the doorstep of a girl you like but are too shy to ask out directly with a beautiful poem detailing your intent to go out with her.  Soemthing like "Dearest winter, when the sky wears the moon as her pendant, summer shall warm your heart by the Starbucks on 5th and main."

But NOOOOO!!!

Retarded American pop culture and psychyatry has ruined it for romance and romantic types, because now if you drop poetry on a girl's doorstep youre automatically a "stalker" and will eventually rape and kill her....

Thats why im against psychiatry because its BS.

yes, there ARE sickos out there, but labeling every guy who tries to be romantic a stalker is just plain evil!

Otakus are not terrorists.
Interested in Japanese culture, not muslim culture
Wooden swords are not bombs.
A person trying to hurt someone with a sword is easily subdued, especially if mor epeople around him have swords.
Furthermore, you can't hijack a convention center and crash it into a building.

Fanime had no right to use 9-11 as an excuse for peace tying because anime and game swords have absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.

Come on, lets put an end to peace tying.
We all want to have con photos of Sephiroth and CLoud facing off with their swords drawn, and we'd like to see Deedlit with her rapier onc ein a while.

Peace tying is communistic and leads to a slippery slope.
What comes next?
Barring walking sticks?
Barring Crutches?
Barrinc costumes alltogether?

come on people, by fans and for fans!
Quit being such bloody bureaucrats and start acting like fans!!!!

Nice gun...did they try to peace tie that to you or did they let it slide on account of the size?

lol thats true.
See, I wouldn't exist if it weren't for long distant correspondance leading to a date...my grandparents were pen pals when he was in the army. They met, fell in love, and there ya go.

hehe one of his letters ended with this:

"PS: Can you cook?"

Well at least I didn't meet doomtrain glomper's glomp of impending death this year lol.
She's the one I was the bodyguard for last year.
Nice conversationist, but her glomps HURT lol

I wanna buy a female friend of mine a Plushie Cthulhu....she's a big lovecraft fan and needs something to hug.

Those adorable bread sellers...
With the yummy noodle rolls...
Were...
being....
Mistreated??????

:: gets pissed off and turns super saiyan ::

There is one thing I do not tolerate, and that is cruelty to defenseless girls!!!

I'm going to raise high hell with the staff at the next meeting...and nobody's gonna stop me from making sure they get indicted for harrassment, verbal child abuse, and Guro pushing!
