I'm a Marin County otaku & longtime Fanime attendee of ten years (2001-2005, 2007-2011), and somehow I feel like I'm the only one from my county attending FanimeCon. If there are any others in the North Bay, feel free to get in contact with me. Heck, I'm open to hanging out with people from all over the Bay Area. Just use the email on my profile to contact me.

Anyone?

[KusanagiShiro]

Really? No takers?

[KusanagiShiro]

Still none? Wow...

[sweetchorizo]

Yeah I'm like "seriously no answer"

[RoseLove19]

I know the feeling. I live up in Sonoma County

[RoseLove19]

Wow I guess a lot of cosplayers don't really live up here do they?

there's a large group of us (by "large" i mean maybe 10-20) of us in San jose/Santacruz area.

I used to host/hold tons gatherings back in my day--- and just posting "hey lets meet up" post on the forums doesnt quite work...

You may want to plan around other local events or mini cons (Like AOD for example) or maybe your own event with themes and activities.

Start a facebook group or a group of cosplay (or non cosplay) friends  and throw out dates, holidays or movie releases and build up rep as it were.. and or give your self small goals of getting to know people on the forums or the internets and go from there. if it wasnt for Fanime/forums/face book, i wouldnt have the massive circles of friends I'd have today.

So again dont forget that AOD is coming up, make a few acquaintances and plan again for a mini group hang out.
and someday, I'm sure it will turn into something like a mini convention of friends... or you can always wait til fanime.

I live in Sonoma... I'm sure there are more people from around here attending than you think. (It's a lot easier for people around here to get to Fanime than people that are far away, so I'd think that there must be quite a few people from the local counties.)
