Also, now that there is a place to discuss:
What can I, personally, do about drunks bothering me? This fellow wasn't harassing me to a large degree, but he was hanging around where he clearly wasn't wanted, followed me, and kept leaning in closer to me. I'm always afraid to say anything directly to someone like that because he was obviously not getting a hint and since I am a fairly small female, I'm always afraid of some type of retaliation. Could I have told a staff member and they could have done something? He wasn't overly bothersome, just...very uncomfortably close. Could he have been kicked out simply for being drunk in the halls? Does staff even care about that these days? The drunkenness in the halls seemed WAY out of hand this year. I'm hoping to get some staff input on this one. I don't have much faith in the staff helping me out much with something like this, since while he made me quite uncomfortable (and followed me out of the room), but wasn't harassing me in the traditional sense, and I've heard plenty of horror stories of Fanime staff not properly addressing this kind of issue, and seeing as no one seemed to care that the boozing seemed 10x worse than ever before, I honestly don't know if staff would even -care- if I brought it up. This is becoming a huge problem, and I might not stay out late at the con in future years if there is this much rampant drunkenness, simply for my own safety and comfort, since things could have been a -lot- worse. (It isn't like this was my first year at the con or staying up late, so I've seen the levels of drinking before and how it was handled before, and there is a marked difference between the past two cons and my ~10 Fanimes before that.)

The idea had been thrown out there to get sponsorships and professional help to continue to make Fanimecon successful. Get sponsors willing to give advertising space in the programs and naming rights to events, maybe even a presenting sponsor. With an event that attracts more than 20,000 people, I bet there are some companies willing to listen, even if that company has nothing to do with anime.
Sure it may sound annoying, like how we are with watching commercials on tv, but the reason why there are commercials is to help pay for programming. Fanimecon needs help funding and simply raising registration process isn't going to help.

Maybe I can get an answer here...
Im planning on doing a male verison of Masane from Witchblade. Im putting a CRAP LOAD of work into this cosplay, and for a male, it is very revealing. My only question is, Do you think I'll get kicked out on account of it being TOO revealing?
Also, General discussion on how "Revealing" a cosplay can be and still be acceptable.
Original insperation:

One question about this, do rovers get paid?

It really depends on when you arrive. If you arrive later in the evening (before Reg closes, of course), the lines generally have had time to shrink considerably.
Sidenote: I should have a Marketing staffer make a Twitter account that posts live updates to the reg line. :P
