What's your plan of action for Fanime.

[TaikoMoon]

Oh dear more people are going to be at the Masquerade, I afraid that I might implode with stage firght...

Hey just some advice. No, its not the underwear thing.

Whenever I am on stage (back in High School and middle school I did a lot of plays/musicals/crew work ect) and I have to look out into the audience (like when I break the third wall... or is it called fourth- I forget) you can barely see them due to the blinding lights. However you can see their outlines, kinda.

Another thing is that it helps to focus on the very very very back corner or the back walls where there may not be anyone. Or the upper corner or walls. However given it is masquerade and there will be plenty of people there, myself included it may be hard to avoid seeing people.

Just focus on a point or 'blank' out your vision when you look out to the audience. It helped me out in the past. Hopefully it'll help you. btw don't say Macbeth in a theater and break a leg!

I just realized I hadn't posted my plans for fanime... Meh I'll do it on a later post.

[kimono_hime]

1. show up Thursday, unload car, set up booth
2. repeat if necessary
3. sell a ton of kimono
4. repeat ad nauseum
5. rest

Mister_E, I gotta say, I think your GITS cosplay is great.

[IamTetsuo]

Thursday pick up my pre reg badge.  Then hit up the swap meet and whatever else they have planned for us lucky pre-regers.  Drive back to Santa Cruz and sleep.

Friday Maybe pick up some friends from UCSC then drive to San Jose and check in to the hotel.  Then it's photoshoots until 5.  Then dinner with friends, musicfest, followed by late night shenanigans.

Saturday Wake up eat shower kill time until 1 then photoshoots again.  Dinner with friends again, musicfest again, and late night shenanigans again.

Sunday.  Lather, rinse repeat.  Except this time add in the Black and White ball.

Monday.  Check out of the hotel.  Hang out, go to random panels and the dealers room.  Hit up the closing ceremonies, then drive back to Santa Cruz and wish that it wasn't over.

Thanks, the hat is going to be more like the show this year.

[Emerge]

whatever i do, i have to NOT just kill my weekend in E-gaming. that's all i did the past 3 years. gotta change that.

[TaikoMoon]

Oh and breathe Mister_E I forgot about that one. Breathing is good. Very good

Ok... here are my plans... I think

Thur: Fly in from Hawaii. Go home unload than go to the hotel
Fri: Figure out what I am doing for staff. Dealers room, help set up at artist alley, unload the stuffs to sell
Sat: See fri
Sun: See sat
Mon: ... check out, go home, and than work at the family restaurant for the rest of summer. Oh and start to wonder why I spent all that money at fanime.

Somewhere in there will be pannels, concert, masquerade, black and white ball, eating, sleeping, counting the mouths coming out of my wallet, and... yeah. That's all I can think of now.

[ToshiX]

Ermm
Gonna Let It Take Its Course ^ ^

[Ari]

Friday: bathe then sleep.

Thank god somebody does.

[Squeeky_Moonkin]

Fly in Thursday and pre reg goods.
Un pack costumes and setltle in hotel
Hang with my roomates whom i haven't seen since November
Make plans for rest of the day
Might work out at night if hotel has a gym

Friday-sat-sunday and monday all depend on the schedule of such panles that are available. Make time to visit artist ally and see
all the unique items for sale. My favorite part of any con ^_^. Visit dealers area sometime for possible cds depending on pricing as well as one new dvd box set. Its tradition for me. Going to look into the swapmeet thing as well as amvs ^_^ and AN CAFE!!!! also the rave if its any good, and the B&W ball if i can get a dress in time.

sometime between slow periods and what not the gals and I want to see Beauty and the beast on Broadway since its not far away. Also if possible make a stop at the winchester house. Im staying till tuesday morning so. Also making time for a group birthday cosplay dinner bash. Since all of my roomies and I have our b-days between mid may  and way early july.

and of course the necessities of eating, sleeping , and bathing and beating stinky fanboys to soapy death with soap ona rope @_@. jk about the soap on the rope bit.

[havok rt]

Umm let see I have no plan short of: Go to masquerade, try and do some (horrible) karaoke, do a set of Anime stand up comedy, go to some panels, maybe go to a dance, play some games, act like an idiot while taking pictures of the whole thing. You know I'm planned out more this year than last.

[XpHoBiaX]

I be going HUNTING for mah trophy wall! *is cosplaying a Predator*

As of right now I don't know what days I will be there, hopefully for pre reg to get my stuff.

[Death_Note_Matt]

Friday: bathe then sleep.

Thank god somebody does.

Yeah  I do that too but I didn't think that anyone who care what I do personally in my own private  time >.>;

[Sunara Ishi]

Go to fanime; buy stuff; have fun; eventually go home.

[nyuu-latte]

Lol I probably won't be sticking to much of this plan for Fanime but...

Friday: Be super-hyper during school and as soon as it hits 2:45 scream "FANIMEEEEEEEEE!!!!" and run out the door XD;; Be stuck in a car with a bunch of people for at least 5 hours and hopefully get to San Jose before 9 @_@

Saturday: Pick up my badge and whatnot, because I'm sure they won't let you pick up your badge at like, 9 PM .__. Then go do stuff. Then dance for as long as my legs can move :D

Sunday: AN CAFE CONCERT~~!!!!! And maybe the Black and White Ball

Monday: Hate that it's Monday and pack up, say my good byes and start the sad ride back home :(

[obliviousedward]

Well, I see I'm not the only one who's been thinking about this. XD  I've been planning for a while (since I'm a rather organized freak), so I might as well jot my schedule down.

Friday: Leave at around 4:00 in the morning (after a sleepless night); arrive in San Jose, stop for lunch, and go to Safeway to get the food off of which I will live throughout the duration of the con; check in at the hotel; change into first costume and pick up my badge for the weekend; have fun surveying the establishment. XD

Saturday: Get up at whatever time, change into second costume; eat whatever; wander around with my friends and do various stuff (buy doujinshi, take pictures, etc.); have FUN.

Sunday: Repeat Saturday. XD  (Whatever events that look interesting I'll probably go to, but I usually just wander at Fanime and see what happens.)

Monday: Do my usual thing, because I am NOT leaving on Monday as with past years.  Not this year, baby! XD  After Fanime ends, go out for REAL food with  my friends, maybe see a movie; come back to the hotel, relax, and look over all the useless stuff I bought.

Tuesday: Wake up early, check out of the hotel, and go home.  THE END.


And there you have it. ;D  (Post is subject to change.  See store for details.  Accessories sold seperately, batteries not included.  No refunds.)
