Hope this is the right area for posting this, if not please forgive me-

Just had a couple questions related to the subject above. I know there were some discussions about photography and filming at the Civic Center which I am under the understanding that it is highly not allowed, however I just wanted to check to make sure what parts of the rest of the con were ok.

I bought a small pocket camcorder not long ago, mainly for Fanime, and was hoping it would be ok to film the general convention halls and if possible some panels? Are there any rules against filming with a small pocket sized cam during panels? I got a really great video of Momoi-sama last year and it's been my pride and joy all year. =^.^=

Thanks!

Hello, second year going to FanimeCon, and I can't seem to remember if I passed through a metal detector or was wanded while entering the convention center/in line for registration.

The reason this is important to me, is because several months ago I had a life-changing surgery, and had to have 19 screws, and 2 titanium rods built into my spine. I would hate to not be allowed into the con just because I attract the attention of metal detectors/wands.

Should I bring x-rays and proof of my surgery with me?

Thank you very much.

Hello, there were a few ideas that popped into my head a few days ago, and I just wanted to ask to be sure.

I plan on doing quite the business with the Fanime Dealers, Artists, and Swap Meet Sellers, and I am most likely going to be bringing a large rolling bag, a large camping backpack, a side bag and possibly a small folding cart/or other smaller backpack.

I wasn't sure what the rules were on those things since I can imagine with all the merchandise available on tables and such. I really don't see a reason why the carrying of storage bags like backpacks and related bags would be prohibited. I was just thinking about my local store and how they don't trust anyone and take your backpack when you enter, so I didn't know if Fanime was like that.

I myself have severe scoliosis and need to have my roller bags and small side bags since I can't carry alot of plastic bags ( like what a vendor would give after buying something), especially since I plan to do alot of buying.

So are there any rules concerning backpacks? Thanks a bunch!

Hello, I've got some questions concerning the picking up of badges on Thursday before the con. My friends and I who are attending the con together, have all registered online before the March 31st date. We registered around the end of February. I believe this counts as pre-registration, not early reg right?

If so, I believe this means that we must pick up our laminated pre-reg badges on Thursday since Friday is for those who have registered after March 31st who are counted as Early Reg, and for those buying the other single day and other types of badges right?

I want to be very clear because it is very important for us to know, if we MUST pick up our pre-reg badges on Thursday or not. It's ok if we have to, I just want to be sure, and I would hate to get there on Friday and not be able to pickup our pre-March 31st badges, and not have the chance because we didn't get them on Thursday, know what I mean?

I know there have been a million questions regarding badges, but Its important to know if we must go on Thursday or not.

Thanks a bunch!

So I heard Fanime has its own rave?
Recently I attended the SacAnime convention rave, and it was pretty cool...but I think what was REALLY corny was it...didn't have much to do with anything...and they called it an "Anime Rave", and at first, some really AWESOME Code Geass and Bleach remixes played which was great, but after that it was just a bunch of other generic club songs/rick roll/and even Britney Spears. ~_~

Wondering if there IS one, how cool would it be if we were able to request songs? Just an idea...that's all.
And if not...I really hope whatever DJ/s is picked plays anime related rave songs...and yes, there is PLENTY of amazing ones out there. Type in "Exit Trance" on YouTube for example, and think about how awesome some of those would be in a rave. :)


1st time Fanime go-er, as I finally have the chance this year! High hopes for this con as I've heard so many great things!

For everyone else who's been before, how's the dance at Fanime?  :D

Mod edit: Dance:)
