*goes to the bank and gets $200*

ready.:)

I want some metal. >:(

Maximum The HOrmone and Otherworld by Nobuo Uematsu please!  :'(

I hope so. :-\

I may not be able to see all of them anyway since I leave early for school stuff.:(

I wish I signed up.:(

The only songs I can sing pretty good are Maximum The Hormone songs.:D

Only because I can make my voice deep and crazy like the singer.:)

But I guess it would be too dark for little kids to hear.:D

Well, its my first year.

I was planning on going alone too since everyone I know hates anime.:(

I wouldn't mind kicking it with you or the others here.

Once the scheduales are out then we can kick it together with others here.

Sadly, I'll be their until 4pm since I then have to go to school and be in a play on friday.:(

Saturday is the sam ething and I 'm planning on staying up and dancing in the night time event. ;D

LOL. :D

O yeah, Memorial day. Thanks.

I'll look at the times when they come out and get ready.

Dam ewu, you're like the best mod in this place. :D

22100

Wow.my number is long. :(

ALright.So this year is my first and may be able to go to Fanime in the morning and at nights.
WHat happends in the mornings?I may stay their until 12 and then go back to my town and do some play for my college. Will I be able to see the opening ceremony?

Then I might go again at night.(yes,I'm planing on staying awake for a LONG time :( )
Around the 11pm to as much as my body can take. Then sleep for like 2 hours.

Saturday stay their for like 12 and then go back to my town and attend another play again.
Come back to fanime at 11pm and stay in fanime all night(I may stay up all day =| )

And it will be sunday morning and go home at around 2pm since many people say thats the time every one leaves and goes back to their normal lives.

WIll I miss allot or will I experience a good amount? That's my plan and yes, I will have a badge so I can party all night in the dance places the main page says they will have at nights. Thanks.

Good thing I got cleared by my Doc to wear them. ;D

But alas, I don't plan on going their with red eyes. :(

Out of curiosity, do you happend to have a photo of the building?:|
Now that I'm close, I would like to know how it looks like and get ready for it. One day of fun is all I have since I will need to perform in college plays on friday and saturday of those days.:(

OK. First I read the google map for directions on how to get to the convention.

At first I felt lost.Yesterday was my second try and I think I found it.

I drove for 2 hours looking for the streets(I saw the clock so yeah, I was somewhat lost)>_>.

Anyway,I saw a building that said convention so I think I found it.It had a giant Duck on top and had a big field next to it.

So is that the place the Fanimecon is held or am close?I know the street Almaden blv so I think I'm close. I heard its close to SJSU and I did see a big field with Baseball players practicing and big signs saying San Jose Giants. So was the place with the giant duck it or am I way of? Thank You

You are close...the building with the giant Duck is the Children's Museum.  The convention center is two blocks east (think of driving towards the hills) of the museum.  The biggest landmarks that will help you are the Marriott and Hilton hotels.  The convention center is nestled between them.  So if you know Almaden Blvd, get familiar with the San Carlos cross street.

You've gone way off course is you see the baseball field with the San Jose Giants sign. That is way South of downtown, that's right across the street from Spartan Stadium (2-3 miles or so away from the convention center).

Hope this helps.

Tight!.Thanks. yeah, I saw the hotels while I went straight to the road. I'll try finding it next Saturday. I'll only be their on Sunday but at least I'll go.;D

I looked up my payment status and it showed a badge number. I remember I heard I need to print it out once I get it. I never received a e_mail saying it was ready. I just saw it today. I want to know if I need to print that page out and give it to the dudes that give the badges out. It showes my adress and so on so I think its the right one. Do I take that one or still wait? It's my first year going to a Con so sue me. :-\

And where do I go to turn the paper and ID in?Is their a sign that says "Badges available here"?

And I heard that you can get it early. Can I get mine soon or wait until may 15 to get it.Thank You.:)

I would skip work and go see them and Rock out with my Death Note in one hand, and my Death Note keychain in the other. ;D

It's probably impossible for the guys in charge to book them but that would be my dream to see them at least once.
Once that happenes, this former gang member turned anime fan can finally be at peace with my past.

It's not really impossible to book them. It's not like they're some huge group or anything, they're pretty small realistically.

Though it's sad that you'd bring your "Death Note" and keychain like that. You act as if those are the only songs they've done. I feel sorry for bands that are "only popular because they did an anime op". Because it's proof of their failure.

Well, those 2 songs did get me to like Japanese music. But I also like their other songs like Koi No Mega Lover and Rolling1000toon.
I like most of their songs so watching them would be a dream for me. And the skinny dude's voice is awsome.

There are plenty of cons in other states that let you carry live steel as long as its peace bonded, but since California seems to be full of show-off idiots its best to not allow them at all.

Tue. We Californians are know to be crazy at times :-\
I'm not one of those idiots since getting kicked out of places is not my style. Plus, I wouln't want some dude poking me with a sharp sword too.
         

wHAT? HOW CAN IT BE? I said I can keep it in my shealth so can I do that and not pull it out?

Are you asking why we have this policy? Because, people in the past have been irresponsible with their weapons.
It only takes one incident to ruin the fun for everyone. There have been several incidents in the past that the police have come out in force because of us...we don't want this to happen.

I said there was a no live steel rule, no exceptions. This includes peace-bonding the weapon so that you can't pull it out.

We are a little stricter on the rules here, because we want to be preventive rather than responsive (I.E. we rather an incident doesn't occur rather than having something occur and dealing with the consequences).

Before you ask why dealers can sell metal weapons, they can because the weapons are boxed up and put away after being sold, thus not in plain sight. CA also has a few rules about live steel being carried around in public (as well as how they are transported), so if you exit con with the weapon, your potentially going to have a run in with the police (Which we don't want to happen either because they will come back to Fanime to have a long talk...).

All in all, we make the rules for your safety and to avoid problems with local law enforcement. We also have to adhere to the laws that California and City of San Jose.

P.S. Having a sharp point metal sword out in public is generally a bad idea. Just saying.

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks. Like I said, I've never been to one so I'm not familiar with the rules.
Good thing I have a wooden sword as back up. :)

I guess tying the wooden sword with me would be simple.I'll just paint it black and make it look more real.

procrastination FTW

Thanks. ;D

So I wait until they announce they have the badges ready right?

Thank you,your the best.:)

I hope to have a good time their.like I said,its my first time so I'm still nervouse.I'm going as Hiei so thats why I may need a sword.
I may go alone since EVERYONE I know hate Anime or don't know what it is. Going alone won't stop this "geeky" kid.
Crazy that I was with bad people 2 years ago and now I hang with 2 dudes.Its worth it as long as I can FINALLY be my true self.:)
