Fanime is back, baby! Woohoo!

Okay so it looks like a Marvel gathering hasn't been set up yet and considering that this year is a pretty big year (ahem, Infinity War anybody?), it would be a travesty NOT to have some sort of Marvel presence at Fanime 2018. I've learned a lot last year from hosting my first gathering (shoutout to Fanime staff for being extremely helpful!) so I'm hoping to return this year and make it bigger and better!

The hiatus is long and full of terrors! With the upcoming final season of Game of Thrones not premiering until 2019, I think it would be cool to host a gathering to make the wait a bit more bearable.

Panels and Workshops / So You're New to the Con Scene
November 14, 2014, 12:44:40 AM
Hello everyone! I'm interested in creating an info panel about the con scene here in California for people who are unfamiliar with conventions and in which Fanime is their first con. If anybody is interested, I would like to have 3-4 panelists with various con experiences throughout California (whether it be just an attendee, a staff member, cosplayer, artist etc.) We can also have each panelist specialize in a certain California con as well and present their own information on their experiences.

For the sake of time, this panel will cover 4 California conventions based on location and popularity which include:

NorCal:
Sacanime
Animation on Display or Kraken Con (whichever is larger and more popular we'll cover)

SoCal:
Anime Expo
San Diego Comic-Con - I'll cover this one 

If there any other cons out there that's worth mentioning, let me know. I think it will be a great way for newbies to the con scene know about other other opportunities throughout the year to nerd out and meet people. If interested, please reply to this post. Also privately message me the list of cons you've been to, whether you go to cons to be at artist alley, cosplay, or volunteer/staff, and which con(s) you're interested in presenting. I will update the above list of cons on who is presenting what once I determine the panelists. I hope to make this panel a reality and hopefully I'll see you all there!

Just curious as to why Fanime is opening its hotel registration early.

Usually large cons don't open hotel registration until 3-4 months before the actual con. Even Comic-Con doesn't open its hotel registration until March or April. Do the hotels in San Jose want registration to happen already so they can accommodate the numbers?
#9
Would anybody be interested in a Wholock crossover panel for Fanime 2013?

We will discuss how the BBC has driven its viewers into madness with Doctor Who and Sherlock and how the current fandoms are coping with the recent departure of the Ponds as well as Sherlock's long hiatus.

We will also have a Q&A session with characters from both series!

If interested, please like or reblog. I am also open to any suggestions!

Characters that will be featured for the Q&A session include:

Sherlock:
- Sherlock Holmes
-John Watson
- Mycroft Holmes
- Greg Lestrade
- Jim Moriarty

Doctor Who:
- The Doctor (Nine, Ten, and Eleven if possible)
- Rose
- Martha
- Donna
- Amy
- Rory
- Captain Jack
- River Song

I was wondering if anybody, from past experiences, know the price for 3 nights at either the Marriott, Hilton, or Fairmont. I'm planning to book a room from Friday to Monday and I just want to know which hotel offers the best price.

Registration / Expired ID
May 15, 2011, 08:08:48 PM
I'm planning on pre-registering but the thing is I don't have a California ID and my passport is expired. It would take weeks to get both too. Do I just not pre-register or is it possible to use my expired passport?

Registration / ID Registration
March 14, 2011, 10:37:35 PM
I just want to know about the situation regarding registration and the ID. My mom is ordering the pre-reg badge for me and I'm wondering if she has to be there in order to pick it up.

Is organizing a masquerade skit difficult? I've never been to a Fanime masquerade before and from what I hear it can be very stressful at times. My friends and I are planning a musical number which would require choreography and live singing. I know you would have to have the audio of the skit pre-recorded, but we were thinking of just pre-recording the background and having our main singer sing live. GAHHHH!!! IT'S SO CONFUSING! Anybody have some good advice or any experiences to share?
