I notice Yaoi isn't on the program for Fanime 2012.  Will it still be happening?

ASDFKHSADGHKLSDGHA!! WHAT? I hope so.... *goes to check* ≡≡≡≡(ﾟдﾟ)/

I hope so! Fingers crossed!

I suspect that's mostly due to the program still being in a state of flux.

My understanding is that the Yaoi events are put on the Yaoi-con staff, and I doubt they've gone anywhere.

That's actually a good question - I didn't submit any BL related panels because I was planning on going to yaoicon hosted ones, but since Yaoicon's been relocated out of the bay....

Hopefully Yaoi Bingo on Friday night (isn't that when it's usually held?), and Yaoi Con will have their booth in the dealers' room as usual.

DMP sent out an email a few days ago to people who subscribe.  They WILL be at Fanime so the Yaoi-con booth and Yaoi Bingo are probably happening.  They will have some sort of announcement re: their move to LA, but I'm not sure if it's going to be in its own panel or not.

Here's info from the Yaoi Con folk (I suscribe to their updates):
