Worst thing that can happen at Fanime

[Otaku_Princess]

My friends went girl chasing and left me and my other friend behind.  In the end, it turned out awesome because the friend became like a brother to me. ^^

One guy last year was walking about with a sign saying his hotel room didn't come through. So I say always make sure that your reservation is concrete

[Tur713]

My violin got sat on and broken. :'(

[localuvr]

oh. I'm sorry. I owned a violin once, so I know how much that must have sucked

[Tur713]

Yeah, I got a more expensive violin afterwards to replace it, but my old one was the one I carried with me all through high school. There were so many times I wanted to play it while at the con, but I couldn't. Oh well, I've also got some cheap-o violins ('bout $50 each) that I'll be bringing next time to carry around and my good one will be reserved for Masquerade. ;)

Oh yeah! Also, last year, someone stole my sister's dolfie. It almost ruined the con for her.

[localuvr]

omg! I'm so sorry for her! did you find out who stole it?

[nachomonster]

I believe the worse thing that could happen would be for your friend's to cause drama for you. Last year, my friend's treated me so badly I broke into tears and left the con. I was hoping to bunk with new people this year or maybe get my own hotel room, but I just don't have enough money. I plan to convince my dad to come with me as a "vacation" for him and the con for me though, so maybe this issue is solved.

And I triple that not finding anywhere to sit. :)

[Tur713]

No, we never found it. She ended up buying a new one. I helped pitch in to help her get some hair for it and some onther things. We just pretend that it's the same doll reincarnated into a new body. (She gives her dolls personalities. It's more fun that way!)

If both my Laughing Man masks are crushed, both my day time one and the rave on where I have a strobe light around the outside.

[sunrise-oasis]

going to jinx this!!!

Dealers room will open VERY LATE.........
it happened last year....!!!!!
I don't even know why they open an hour late!!!

[heeroyuy135]

I don't get any sleep, and I can't drive back home

[narutofan17]

If your cosplaying, make sure if someone glomps you they don't destroy your costume in the process. Sleep is your friend. One year I was there I stayed up late, overslept and almost missed the Naruto Gathering. T_T. Also make sure you bring enough money. Your going to see things that you want. We don't want you to black out and when you come to be laying a pile of box sets and plushies with an empty wallet. XDDDDDDDDDDDD

[dibbly]

running into an ex when you broke up badly. that would suck.

(btw i ran into my ex, but it went OK... beside a little awkwardness we talked a little and treated each other with respect and kindness and all was well. i think we're still on good terms)

but yeah, drama throughout the con would suck.XP

[AbsolutelyCursed]

Passing out (almost happened to me a few years back). Make sure you drink enough fluids.

[iNSOMNiAC]

Yeah, eating is a must. I don't think I've ever eaten a proper meal during any of my stays at Fanime; I would get by on candy and pocky.

You might not feel it during the con, but OH MY GOD. On the way home, all of the hunger and lack of sleep hit me like a baseball bat, and I felt horrible. Its not worth it to feel like that, if all it takes is eating a little more.

So yeah. Eat. xD

Also when you get your badge and the schedule, make sure you plan out everything you want to see. This way you will be able to see everything that you want and won't miss anything.

TOTALLY WASTED!  have uncontrollable hiccups for 2+ hrs during the movie, loose your badge...have to pay an additional $10 for a new one, then the next day not even remember seeing the opening credits....well at least I remember the drinks hahahaha  ;D

Try not to use a whole lot of flammable material in your cosplay. If hotels in Vegas can catch fire, so can hotels near the SJCC...

BYOB - bring your own bottles (of water). Expensive beverages are expensive. If you're staying at a hotel, you can save a bunch of money by eating cup ramen most of the time, using the coffee maker for boiling.

Something similar happened to me.

I went to Fanime early with a "friend" and got treated like shit until we went our separate ways. Due to rooms not being available, we couldn't get in Thursday night and had to wait till Friday morning. I was stuck with an asshole for a couple hours and wrecked my mood until I got some sleep.
