Dominic Nguyen, better known as Shirt Guy Dom from Megatokyo and attends many Bay Area anime cons, will be appearing on Jeopardy! this Tuesday night (2/21). Just putting this out there.

Upon passing by the Santa Clara Convention Center yesterday, I realized that the old home of Fanime, the Westin Hotel, is no more! They changed to the Hyatt Santa Clara. I don't know if it is of any significance for anyone here now, unless FC moves back there.

Hyatt or Westin, it'll always be known as the old home of Fanime, and the place where I first attended an anime convention.

By the looks of your avatar, I'd say Excel Saga & Puni Puni Poemy.

*Dangles from a rafter and waves to anyone who remembers him* Hmmm Ai Yori Aoshi I watch it every now and then when I need multiple girl on poor misused beaten up guy action....*sniff* and a good cry :(  ^_^

Ai Yori Aoshi is considered old? Man, the anime culture blows by fast... :lol:

That's why you buy DVDs and tapes in the first place. To watch them again down the road. I got back into Battle Athletes/Victory for a while recently: own every VHS from both the TV and OAV seasons.

Oh, and Saber Marionette J/X, too. When I stopped over in Taipei during my trip to the Philippines last January, they showed it on the asian Animax network (dubbed in Chinese). When I got back to the states, I suddenly wanted to watch it again.

Initial D, the arcade spoiled the storyline, if there was one. It's like DragonBall Z with cars.

"Oh, an 86! My (insert car here) can beat that old piece of junk!"
Tak(umi) wins.

This pattern lasts several episodes and 2 manga volumes.

I'll be in for Dom again. It might be the only cosplay I'll do anyway.

I had an idea (like I always do).

Staying at SJ for 3-4 nights? A lot of people in one room? ONE soap bar? Forgot your toothbrush? Need deodorant? Want a snack at 3 in the morning, but don't want Denny's or a big meal?

Let there be an at-con convenience store! It's like a 7-11, where you could buy non-anime essentials like soap, toothbrush/paste, chips, batteries, towels, medicine, film, Red Bull, deodorant, mouthwash, shampoo etc... Any essential that can be found at a 'real' 7-11 (except beer). It will be open 24 hours a day for every day of the convention (hence 24/4) on the convention center floor (not the dealers room, cuz it closes).

Meh....go ahead and steal this idea. I'll buy from you anyway.

I want to be Dom again! ^^

We need to see if Largo (in MT) is still a "Great Teacher" by then. Right now, it's iffy.

Just:
Comic Party Revolution (by leeching off people)
Megatokyo

It's not an event for the convention, but a sponsorship opportunity. FanimeCon could sponsor the San Jose Grand Prix in some way (although I know that it not the target audience). Taylor Woodrow, the title sponsor for the 2005 race, is now the presenting sponsor. So the race next year is currently called "San Jose Grand Prix presented by Taylor Woodrow". It's just a dream I had last night (too much turkey, I think), but it may be possible for the race to be called "FanimeCon Grand Prix of San Jose".
...
I'm crazy, I know.

DBZ, Sailor Moon (not a fan), InuYasha, Naurto.
Too long, too mainstream, too Hot Topicy.

Still got mine too, back when I was only a "Happy Board Person".

or outside the convention center, like the big blue tent.

Two words:

Go Karts


heh heh... :o

Here's a rather hard one. The pic link does say the name, but it's not the real name (at least, compared with the other characters in the same series).

Hint: Props to anyone who "uses" him often.

Jyunishinsho -planning to go into the fountain next year as Zappa and float face first in the water...

that may not be a good idea the water in those fountains tends to not be so clean =/

Hmm...what's in that fountain water anyway? If it's anything like SJSU's fountains, then I don't think you'd want to even touch it...

[Record of]

Record of Lodoss Wars: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight (TV Series)

Hmm...
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku?

-I wanna sing:
Kimi no Mama de (Comic Party OPN)
Fly (Comic Party Revolution OPN)
Isshoni Kurasou (Comic Party Revolution END)
Give a Reason (Slayers Next)
Get Along (Slayers Orig)
Breeze (Slayers Try)
I Do (Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi)
Sentimental Generation (School Rumble Season 2)

I want to "participate" in the Initial D world. I have the car, an automatic '93 Honda Civic coupe similar to Shingo's hatchback, the SiR-II. It's not modified extently, only new wheels (nothing fancy) and a muffler tip (like "Option-A" for the Civic EG6 in the arcade).
It is possible that Initial D is based on a true story, too. All of the cars are real and all of the mountain passes are real. I don't really care about drifting (like Formula D and sideshows), but I care about racing and close-competition.

I don't drive like mad in real life though. I wish I did, but I don't....legal reasons.  :P
