I'll pin it, but per tradition, Nina Star 9 should start it. :D

A conspiracy to organize the feedback into a single, measurable workflow so that it can be properly dispersed and analyzed, and later used to evaluate performance and eventually improve the event in a systematic way. ;)
Please enlighten us. This is the thread to "Discuss" about the event, no?
Quote from: Yuu- pon on May 29, 2013, 05:51:28 PMThe staff running Cosplay Spectacular (aka the Masquerade) this year were new, and there were problems. The thread is still around so you can see the full details there.
Now I'm curious. I hadn't even heard o this event. Can anyone elaborate? ( Without the complaints)
Quote from: PLUMPKIN on May 29, 2012, 06:11:20 PMAh - but you see, staff undergo an entirely different kind of psychosis after FanimeCon. It's less "PCD", more "PCPTSD". Symptoms include confusion, desperate eating, and calling ConOps upon waking.Quote from: MPLe on May 29, 2012, 06:08:29 PM
Where's the step where I just want to sleep for a year? :)
That would go under the depression stage. Join the club!
Quote from: SukebeStudios on June 06, 2011, 11:07:25 PMHi. =D
I was hoping someone from Guest Relations or someone who actually knows could clear this up.
Quote from: chifunii on June 04, 2011, 07:36:20 AMCongrats on Cal. I suggest you hit up Amanda's, Yogurt Park, Cheeseboard, the original Peet's, and Love at First Bite. The dollar ice cream place is good if the BHS kids aren't around, too. If you see Mr. Poitras on Telegraph, say hi.</former Berkeley resident>
The next week was filled with yearbooks, meetings, long drives to Berkeley, waking up at 5:30 every morning to work on aforementioned papers and projects even though they were due Tuesday...
Quote from: Glitch on June 05, 2011, 03:05:30 AMThis is true for the senior staff. ;D Maybe this is PCD, but life is quite slow and serene outside of con.
For Tony, his regular non anime related paying job is his vacation, and Fanime is the soul crushing labor.
Quote from: chifunii on June 03, 2011, 07:49:40 PMI'm not totally familiar with registration anymore, but we used to do things by last name years ago. More recently, I believe registration started storing and picking badges by their numeric ID. That way, you're just looking for a simple set of numbers, instead of all those crazy letters.
I don't know if it's been considered before, but if each stand were in charge of their own alpha group (A-D, E-H, etc by last name), then the people in charge of filtering through thousands of badges would only have a certain group of cards to look through? It's something we use at school to a fairly high efficiency, I just don't know if it would work out well at Fanime...Just an idea to consider...
Quote from: Jelly Soup on June 02, 2011, 10:53:45 AMYes, definitely, now that we have time. I might do it, if no one else will. It was difficult given the timeline we had to replace him, though. He was truly a rockstar with the pocket guide, and it's not easy to fill those shoes in a few weeks time.
Just a thought, but would it be a plausible idea to find a guy who would be willing to pull this off like the last person?
Quote from: thisismyv on June 02, 2011, 07:05:05 AMThere was a bunch of factors that led to confusion, including past policies and how Yoshiki was feeling day-of. Generally speaking, musicians in Japan (or their management) are very picky about photos and appearances. Unfortunately I don't have much insight.
Also have to ask: Why was there so much confusion about the photography rules? The staff probably changed their positions at least 4 times! I'm glad in the end it was allowed, but to be honest I was expecting photography to be allowed in the first place since it's a panel. Was there a miscommunication or what...?
Quote from: Sen on June 02, 2011, 12:03:53 AMBait taken. I would also like to hear Himeno's insight. ;DQuote from: Himeno on June 01, 2011, 11:57:07 PMQuote from: FanFicGuru on June 01, 2011, 09:31:56 AMThe only reason the lines were a 'nightmare' on Thursday is due to ineffective management of human resources, further complicated by the design of the badges.Quote from: wintersweet on May 31, 2011, 11:42:15 PM
If anyone's looking at this for next year, picking up on Thursday is pretty much a nightmare. There's nothing like starting off the first real day of the convention with sore feet due to standing in line for 2.5 hours! I really regretted that ... Just go early Friday morning. (Though I guess if everyone does that, then it'll be just like Thursday. sigh. I love Fanime, but I do wish some things were done differently.)
There is one reason that the lines have been such a nightmare on Thursdays this year and last: letting Early Reg pick up the same night as pre reg. I'm hoping that Registration might re-consider this policy after having two years of pretty intense Thursday night lines.
Would you like to explain your observations?
Quote from: Loktera^2 on May 31, 2011, 08:02:50 PMPost-con...? Such a thing doesn't exist! We've already started on next year. Welcome to the FanimeCon 2012 pre-con season! ;D
What are you doing in your post-con days?
Quote from: Kyra_Maverick on June 01, 2011, 05:24:01 PMSorry, that's incorrect. Just want to jump in and stop that rumor there. :)
I was told that the company...
