Hello everyone!

So I haven't really been prepared for Fanime this year at all thanks to my new job. To keep this short and sweet, my friends and I are looking for available photographers this weekend! We're totally cool with payments, and can do both Paypal and in-person, and even snacks/drinks if you prefer~ ;y

We'll be cosplaying from Pokemon Go, Touhou Project, Amnesia: The Dark Descent series (would be ESPECIALLY excited if we can do a night shoot for this!), Fire Emblem Fates, and Steven Universe. That's about it! Please feel free to message me here, post in the thread, or email me at pilot_duo(at)hotmail.com. Thank you so much for reading!

[fried pickles]

Hey guys!

So some friends and I were wondering if there's any place near by the convention center that serves fried pickles! None of us are from the area (surprise surprise), however, we want to share the amazingness that is fried pickles with another that's joining us this year~

So do any of you locals have any recommendations? We're well aware of the local food places posted throughout the forum, but thus far we've seen nothing about our beloved fried pickles~ ; ^;  Or hell, if you have any specific favorites that you'd recommend to outsiders - my friends and I love food, ha ha!

[—————FRICTIONAL GAMES RETURNS TO FANIME 2014—————]

The plan is to meet up, mix and greet, take photos, and then have a pot luck picnic!

Hey there, everyone! The Amnesiacs are back - and given our AMAZING success with last year's gathering/picnic, we're readying ourselves for this year's Fanime gathering/picnic, celebrating all things Frictional Games! And yes, there will be monsters~ ;y
Here, have some pics from 2012's gathering: (2013's photos to be up soon!)
There were quite a few monsters (and Stephano)!
