I agree with one of the above, Team Four Star would be a great addition. Maybe as guests for some sort of abridge or voice acting/dubbinh panel.

Also, I've recently fallen in love with a cosplayer "Its Raining Neon" or also known as DeAnna Davis. She is an amazing craft artist and cosplayer. I know many people that would love to see her.

My boyfriend called to book a room last month I think, and they told us the rooms were booked already. We were able to find a room somewhere else after a couple calls. But if what you say is the case then they should tell us to wait until the hotel booking is up to call, not tell us that the rooms are all booked already. Fortunately, we are able to cancel our spot at any time if the rooms will be open but I'd rather not worry myself because someone didn't translate the situation correctly.

What Gwydion and several others said above me is on point. To reiterate, the rooms are listed as "booked" because they've been blocked off by housing so that only con-goers will be able to book these rooms (as soon as housing goes up). Booking will probably be open later this month.

If you do want to keep the hotel room you already have rather than go through the trouble of cancelling and getting a new room later this month (and although I wouldn't recommend it, you can absolutely keep your current hotel room if you want to), just make sure you have a way to get back to your hotel that doesn't involve excessive walking. Downtown San Jose's not exactly a safe place to walk through at night... It might be safer during the con (I don't know, you'd have to ask others about that), but even then, I think you should avoid that situation if you can. Just to be safe, you know. ^_^

I'd just rather they tell us that the rooms are put on hold until the housing registration for the con is open. I assume they are familiar with the situation unless the person we talked to was a new guy. We were never able to book a hotel room connected to or by the convention because we were always too late. The whole roster listed as "booked" caused miscommunication. But anyway, once the rooms actually go up, we might be able to get a room in time. Hopefully it goes up soon.

So, I'm a story writer and roleplayer and have been for a couple years now. I absolutely adore making my own "original" characters or "OC's." I thought it would be fun for others to try. I have about 10 original characters of mine. Anyway, an original character workshop might be a cool way to get those creative juices flowing. This character can be based off any series/cartoon/anime just as long as they aren't putting a new name on a pre-existing character. Think of names, small background, appearances, weapons(if any), powers(if any), etc. Not exactly sure how the whole event will be set up will go but people can work together or work individually and share with who they want. Maybe have some music up or some show running for inspiration. Be creative as can be.
Any ideas on the set up for the event could go? Well don't be shy! c:

No need to fret. This happens every year. The hotels block off reservations for that weekend until Fanime Housing can negotiate for whatever number of rooms to be available through Fanime.

So there's really no need to worry about it until hotel info goes up anywhere from December to February.

Hopefully you aren't too late to book a hotel room close by. Just about every hotel is booked solid within a 2 mile radius of the convention center. My boyfriend and I booked our room back in November I think. Seem like 2014 will be a big year but nothing has been announced.

I'd love to see/listen to Gazette or Abingdong Boys School play. Heh.

I, for one would love to see Vic Mignogna or Johnny Yong Bosch at Fanime '14. They are two of my favorite voice actors. X3
And also an "Original Character workshop". The idea is to work with other people, or by yourself, on an "original character". I have been making my own character for a while now for stories and roleplay. It can be completely unique or it can be based off any anime. The point is to make your own character with its own personality, backstory, appearance, weapons, abilities, etc. Its a great way to be creative and its so much fun.

some people enjoy the aging/aged remixes of anime and video game music...
what would people like to hear more or less of in 2014?

Unfortunately my friends and I could not stay all night for the dances to listen to all the Djs but we felt that there should have been more hardstyle. It is rather difficult for me to dance to much else. Haha. But my opinion still stands, next year, there should be more hardstyle. And or maybe some Nightcore.
