Seems like as of today all hotels are already booked? Is that even possible? Or did they only have a certain number of rooms available for today's booking windows and only those are booked?
Just kinda worried since my group can't book til tomorrow.
I noticed today that availability was changing window to window and then every few minutes within a window. I had 10am today (Wednesday) and 10 minutes before my block opened everything went unavailable. Then it was really hard to find anything for maybe 10 minutes, then I was able to book Marriott (not my first choice). Got the reservation taken care of, then reloaded the page every 5 minutes or so until I saw Hilton was available (what I wanted), and changed my reservation on the site.
I've also seen on the unofficial facebook group that someone reserved a single day at an outlier hotel, then called to get waitlisted immediately. Within the hour CMR called them back with their preferred hotel booking.

This sounds familiar to some 18+ panels I've seen hosted at FanimeCon in the past. You can submit as a normal panel (next year) and see if it gets accepted. You might be put in touch with Silver Island as they'll be looking for content, but that's still TBD due to Silver Island still being in the early years.

They issued another statement:

It seems they are going ahead with the convention unless they are forced to cancel.
Just talking out loud - but to me what this alludes to is that if by May we're still under shelter-in-place restrictions in California or Santa Clara County the convention would be postponed until Memorial Day Weekend 2021. There have been many other events in the Bay Area that have done this, deferring to 2021 a couple weeks before the event date due to shelter-in-place. The most recent I can think of is Bay to Breakers.
I mean there is always this tiny chance that by the end of May the restrictions will be lifted, and the I suppose it comes to individual attendee preference. At this point I doubt that will happen however.
