Did anyone get that weird guy?
I was dressed as Lara Croft (a bad cosplay, nobody could tell). I sat to fix one of my thigh straps, and I felt a weird presence. Some old Asian dude was taking my picture. He tells me he will take one more, he did, then left. I hope he was just taking a picture, and was not a perv. :S

I wanna cosplay as Lara Croft, but I need the guns and thigh holster....

I am on a budget... We can talk about the price....

Any anime fans other than me in Napa? No? Solano? Vallejo? Within 30 min of Napa?

So, lets play a little game. First person makes a topic of a concerned act of unsafety, and the next person makes a suggestion at what you can do in that situation that could make you safe.

Example; Person 1. I am eating a lot of cake at the con, what do I do?

Person 2. Cut it down, tie a ribbon around your waist so you are aware of your waistline, so you eat less. Question, I see a bunch of aliens, what do I do?

Yatta yatta. Get it? So I will start.

I am walking around the con a lot by myself, and a creep came and was bothering me. What do I do to make creeps not follow me?

Rules, you are allowed to reask the question and answer it if someone did not answer the question right, or enough. But you have to make another question.

[Driver or passenger?]

I don't know where the carpool forum is, and don't know if there is one.

But for now, I will start one.

Misc:

I am getting the Fairmont hotel. Since I am getting a room, doesn't that mean I get a vip badge? So I dont have to buy my own badge?

So I understand that the hotel room at the fairmont is 89 a night. But with the deposit fee, a 100 extra? So its actually 189 a night?

Hello. I would like to reserve two rooms, a single and a double with the hotels that get the fanime discount. But it says that it is not online. I sent an email, but I was wondering if the rooms are sold out?

I was getting excited, and packing my clothes (I know, I am packing a week early! Too excited!) for this event, then I thought; "Wait....mass clothes.....MASS! I WILL BE THERE SUNDAY TOO!" So, for those who have gone the years before, what mass did you go to? what Roman Catholic Church? Maybe we can get a group of other Catholics to go? O.o Maybe......

Anything else? I will add your answers to the list! ^.^

So this will be my first time going to ANY convention, let alone anime convention. It seems like there are a lot of stuff, and I can't even keep track of what is there, what is always there, what you should see, and so on.

So what is there to see at the fanimecon? What is the main attraction? What is it like entering? Could you tell me in every detail if it is not too much of a trouble?
