But the site is crashing at checkout as of this moment...

EDIT: but after 12:22pm or so, checkout ha been fixed. I'm waiting for my email confirmation though.

Regarding the hosts...if you're gonna cosplay as the middle finger potatoes of Pop Team Epic, you need to be raunchy or crude and unpredictable, to say the least.
The hosts were way too tame as far as I could tell. They could have chosen a different duo to work as >_>

There was only one guy selling tacos. Should have been more. Especially since word is that La Vic's took a nose dive in quality.

I presume you mean the La Vics on San Carlos, right? (I've been there before and liked it, but have yet to visit the one on Santa Clara St). And thanks for the heads up.

I've heard of people having the same thing happen to them at the Fairmont last year.

What is going on?

My work in progress. If a cosplayer does not like a photo that I took, I'll take it down upon request (send me a message for the request).

Straightforward enough, just share your experience with the hotel you stayed at this year.

Hotel: Westin (Saint Claire) on Market and San Carlos

Pros:

1 Smooth check in and check out.
2 A fridge
3 Awesome shower that goes above my head. [spoiler]Yay for not having to bend, squat or lean[/spoiler] XD
4 They got me a room on the 2nd floor. Sweet.

Cons:

1 What's taking so long for them to email my receipt that I asked for? XD
2 Tiny elevator
3 One night, my key card didn't work on the door from the stairs to my floor, forcing me to use the elevator...come on...

Would I come back?
Very likely :)

Side note, my first choice for several years, the Ramada/Pacific Motor Inn is [spoiler]already sold out for next year's Fanime[/spoiler] 0_0

Silver Anniversary.

Fanime is turning 25  8)

Kiki's

Genre:

Mecha or Magical Girl?

I got the 1pm slot today. After booking my room, I made a phone call to get my confirmation through. It all worked out.

Yesterday at YumeCon I entered a Smash 4 tourney. I made it to the top...of the Losers Bracket and got knocked out by 3-1 (it was best of five games at this point)  ;D Oh well.

I've noticed that there are more tvs set up for Melee than for Brawl XD

Some Lottery games have gone up in price.

Got my badge in the mail today. It doesn't have my name on it...weird.

So far, a couple of artists, some YouTubers and some voice actors.

Some people are flat-out complaining already on FaceBook posts XD

Also, I bought my weekend ticket and reserved a hotel room recently.

I thought the entries were meh this year. But what bothered me were these people in my row who were told liked 3 times to scoot over. Yeesh folks, the staff is trying to start the show asap, hurry up and move over when told!

Here's my non-cosplay gallery:

I take a long time to do anything XD

This year will be my 19th Famine.

I'm listening to this, now I see this thread...COOL!
