Rovers ftw.
It's a super fun job... if I'm not in Japan, I'm doing it again.

+The staff members, especially those at Con-Ops and the Rovers were excellent this year. All of those who I spoke to were courtious and well informed. They dealt with line situations superbly. (Yaoi-Bingo line anyone? X_x yay for sick attendees.) And I'd like to thank the staff members of the console gaming who helped me by testing a used game I purchased from the dealers room which I ended up having to return do to it not running correctly.
Quote from: "asianfilm"Probably I'm either just going blind or my sleep deprived brain didn't register their existance. Either way, that's the best (organizational) detail of the film rooms.Quote from: "E-Chan"I know there were signs, but I saw no sign of schedules. And by that I mean a sheet (or five) of paper that said "Friday ... [list of films] Saturday ... [list of films]... etc."
We had these at all the Asian Film Rooms. Did you check the Asian Film Rooms? We always have schedules posted up, complete with summaries, running time, and pictures.

On the Video Rooms and Scheduling again. At '05 Fanime there were schedules on the video room posters. They told you what would be played in that room and that room only. I found those more useful than the booklet because it had times and a brief synopsis. I didn't notice that this year. Was I just blind?.
the signs and schedules were there. unless people stole the posted schedule AGAIN!
:evil: i hate it when people try to rip the schedules from the poster boards, when they can just look at it or even get their own from the info booth.

Quote from: "KitsuneOniko"My one lil other complaint about the con this year was the wait for our staff badges o.O It got pushed back like 2-3 hours XP Does any other staff member know what happened? ^^; Other than that I rather enjoyed the con during my shor breaks that I could get off from Stage Zero XD Met lots of cute girls too this year ^_^ So teh Oni is supremely happy!I believe there were issues with the binders-- if you actually ended up getting your badge you know the one to which I am referring-- I think the person with them was first late, and then there were some unforseen confusions?
Quote from: "Blue-Six"I'm not against Yuri itself-- we have Hentai and Yaoi rooms, it'd be hypocritical to say no to Yuri just for being adult. I was objecting more to the Loli portion.Quote from: "E-Chan"And Fanime attempts to be a family con. No offense meant, but if we show loli yuri then it's going to freak out a lot of parents and we run the risk of scaring off much of our younger fan base.
While I'm for having Yuri at Fanimecon, I agree with you on that - s'obvious not everything is okay for the general public/younger audiences. That's why I think that if/when Yuri is "introduced", it should be in a reasonable amount at first, rather than pummeling the masses with it. :P
Quote from: "PassingTheBuck"Yeah, that'd be the kind of thing where we'd advise you to eitherQuote from: "Nina Star 9"the marriot stairs at midnight are creepy for a 15-year-old girl to be on, alone, all the way up to the 14th floor... >.<
umm... tha tis about it. XD
My suggestion for you next year is stop by ConOps or Rovers and ask for an escort up the stairs. Personally, I would have done it, except I'm too old, too fat, too balding and too blind to be walking up 14 flights of stairs.
Quote from: "milkmandan"I've just got to say, in response to this point. I don't object to Yuri, I know a lot of people really like it, but the reason we have Yaoi is because the Yaoi-Con ladies come down and the fangirls (and fanboys) are insane... essentially, the fans make the market.Quote from: "Blue-Six"There's Yaoi, and then there's...Yaoi?I third this. Yuri probably holds a larger fan base anyways.
This was my #1 gripe all con-long (and still is now). Yaoi. Yes, it's popular - understatement of the year - but for the love of all that is chibi, remember that there is this other genre called Yuri. :shock: I could lay on the floor in the Dealer's Room, spin myself in a circle, and still be facing a vendor that had Yaoi, but I would have to hunt (and I did) to find anything Yuri. Even some of the vendors were disappointed that there wasn't any - and this isn't just the DL; there wasn't really any viewing rooms or the like for it. I personally would be happy to get something up and running for the next Fanimecon, and even if I couldn't, it would be worth a shot.
Hmmm..if Yuri is allowed i wonder if loli will ever get a part in Fanime Con.
Then again there is always Yuricon (w/ lolicon for that).
Quote from: "Shinigami"Yay! You're home too.Well, I worked Rovers, so they rotated us a lot, but I do agree, it'd be nice to rotate in and out more frequently so we could make it to more events. However, I kinda liked the fact that I was off for long blocks of time to get in some decent sleep.
I think that with 8 3-hour shifts, it would be easier for staff members to be able to do what they wish to do around the con without missing it, falling asleep, or sleeping on the job. But that might be kind of annoying though to have to keep track of the time 24/7 to make sure you don't have to work soon.
Quote from: "hellangel"CLAMP?? please??? I know they're going to AX, but can we have them at Fanime, too??Go to AX, strategically cover them and surround them with fanime advertisements. pray they come. XD
Quote from: "Daitenshi"No, it's not. Nearly as not-fun as getting them on the first day. T_T;Quote from: "Lisu"Yea, those early reg badges were impervious to falling.
Yeah, about that... My badge came unclipped from my belt as I was taking my luggage downstairs at the Hilton this morning. I looked everywhere and retraced my steps, but all to no avail. It's not fun losing a staff badge on the last day of the con... T_T
