Hey all, think you guys could help me out? This will be my third time going to FanimeCon, but this is the first time I've pre-registered. Since, as far as I know, you can't buy more than one badge per account, I made accounts for myself and my brother. I had no problems in the registration processes, but when I went to pay for them on PayPal, I ran into some problems.

I had no problem paying for my own badge, but it said I couldn't use the same credit card number for when I tried to pay for the other one. I'm pretty sure that's not normal, since it's unreasonable to have to use a different credit card whenever a person makes a purchase on PayPal. So what's wrong?

[Anyway]

Hi all. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. We all know Fanime is just around the corner, and I'm uber pumped. My friends and I can't have a conversation without screaming "FANIME!" every few words, even if the topic is completely unrelated ¬_¬;; Anyway, I've been going to a ton of discussion boards to read about what people have done at cons in the past, and I've come across some verryyy strange stories. I hear(read) that people get hit on, glomped, and tackled (especially when they're in cosplay), and I've even heard one story where one person got his pants stolen by a group of squee-ing fangirls.

I just want to know, how often does this really happen? (I'm especially worried about the pants-stealing, if you couldn't tell by the title...)

This is actually going to be my second Fanime (or, actually, second convention overall) but the first time hardly counts since I didn't cosplay, had a headache the entire time, and barely went to anything.
Soon after, I discovered the boards, and, after reading them, I felt like I missed a lot. Ever since, I've been preparing for this year's and I'm hoping it'll be really fun :] That question's just been bothering me for a long time.

Thanks in advance for your responses :)
