They issued another statement:

It seems they are going ahead with the convention unless they are forced to cancel.

Just talking out loud - but to me what this alludes to is that if by May we're still under shelter-in-place restrictions in California or Santa Clara County the convention would be postponed until Memorial Day Weekend 2021.  There have been many other events in the Bay Area that have done this, deferring to 2021 a couple weeks before the event date due to shelter-in-place.  The most recent I can think of is Bay to Breakers.

I mean there is always this tiny chance that by the end of May the restrictions will be lifted, and the I suppose it comes to individual attendee preference.  At this point I doubt that will happen however.

I'm betting they will have to cancel but for now they don't want to risk cancelling and going bankrupt so they're waiting it out.

Hoping for the best and that Fanime doesn't get cancelled. But if it does, there's nothing we can really do.

Just gonna plan ahead regardless. :)

Any idea on when this gathering will be?

Darn :C Final Fantasy gathering is Sunday at 11, so I doubt I'll make it. ;_;

Awesome! ^^ I should be there as KH3 Kairi!

Sadly our Tseng has dropped. :( So if anyone wants to take his place let us know!

As this gathering is right after Kingdom Hearts, I'm not gonna be able to make it. ;_; I apologize for that!

No worries! If no one else steps up I might take it then. :0 (Was hoping to take a break from hosting gatherings this year but if nobody else takes over then I'll see about doing so. xD )

Friday or Saturday works for me, I think. I have to save Sunday morning for the Final Fantasy gathering. ><

Any updates on when this gathering may be? :0

I do make sure to research that the series/movie/etc my cosplay is from was released before 2001 if it's not obvious or if I don't know for sure beforehand. :3

Depending on the day and time I might be there as KH3 Kairi. :)

[Hopefully I'll be there as Marinette!! ^^]

I'll be there as either Sheeta or Satsuki! :) I was the Sheeta from last year!

This year if I do bring Sheeta, it'll be the blue dress. ^-^

There is a possibility I might be bringing Sheeta instead, but the blue dress instead of the other outfit.

But will know for sure closer to the con. ^^ (If I bring Sheeta, I'll likely bring Satsuki to AX)

Thank you for the heads up! ^^

UPDATE: We now have an Aerith. But our Tifa had to drop out.

So the first post has been updated with the needed info!

Awesome! I hope to be there as Lelouch. ^^
