My shoutouts:
The mechanics at the Gaming Room - you made the kick-assyness that was the arcade possible.
My parents - for the top part of my costume.
Girls with "hug me" signs - for letting me hug them -_^
The 42 people who hugged me while I had that sign on on Monday.

Everyone with full-tuned cars in WMMT2 that I raced - for putting up a good fight.
One of the Team Rocket girls in the Dealer's Room - for giving me change for a $20 because I wanted more quarters for the Gaming Room and I didn't want to use my $20 on the change machine.
Jason Green - for being a funny Damn You Internets guest and putting up good races in MT2.
Whoever brought a PS2, IIDX, and the American IIDX controller - Hope you come back next year, it's the best IIDX experience we can get without buying a super-expensive IIDX cabinet.

I wish I had the guts to play Para para. ;[
Thursday evening to Monday evening, and it all went by so fast. Most of the people I'd be saying hi to are ones I see regularly anyway, but I wanna say word up to John--I hope you actually get your butt on here occasionally (and I hope you feel a bit less dead now)!

That's what happens to people who sign up for "management" staff positions at Fanime.
They have to stick around a little longer to "work off" their "free" badge. :wink:
As for me, since I'm a regular staffer 4 days was enough.
BTW Fanime is ALWAYS short-staffed on managers! 8)
I was there Thursday night, then I went home after the ZZ concert, only to come back over Friday morning then I stayed until Monday for the closing ceremonies. It went really fast and was a great break from my hectic school schedual.
My shout outs:
First and foremost, all of the wonderful people who showed up for photoshoots. You were all great models and I look forward to meeting you all again next year!
To the girls who danced with me and my friends Saturday night and then hung out afterwards, you guys were awesome. (And Jenny is a dirty whore! :lol: )
To the girl who I met at the B&W dance lessons (you know who you are, no need to put your name out on the intertubes): thanks for learning how to dance with me, and for putting up with the fact that I didn't really get it. Call me if you're ever in Santa Cruz!
To that girls friend: it is so weird I took a class with your dad! Call me if you're ever looking for something fun to do in Santa Cruz!
To the guy who spilt his drink on me: Seriously it's cool, I'v had worse spilt on me!
To the guy who I was playing Soul Calibur with on Monday: I must practice so I can actually win!
To everyone who met me, but doesn't remember me: I had blue hair in a faux hawk on Friday, then brown hair in a faux hawk on Saturday and Sunday (Monday I wore it down). I was also the guy in the silver mask at the Black and White ball.

Hell yeah! Same deal with me, and anyone I'd shoutout I can just say hi to them in my normal adventures. Oh, wait!
Yo to the awesome Keiichi who posed with me and Sucrose in our Hig costumes, you ROCK HARDCORE. I already found you through other means, but it bears repeating. ^^ You make an AWESOME Keiichi (Especially since our planned Keiichi bailed on us last minute. *glares in mDuo's direction*) and we have to get together with your Satoko for a photoshoot. ^^
Also, ditto; FISH GET YOUR BUTT ON HERE! Or I'll... er... uh... do something... mean...? Okay that was lame. BUT IT WILL BE BAD.
I'd like to give a shout out to...
The people who liked me and my friends for riding the elevators just standing in the corners with our backs faced to everyone.
The random person who grabbed my ass while riding the elevator... o_O
The 4 or 5 guys that me and my friends met the first day and became friends with
All the people i got to take pictures of

@Lisii: *Tacklehugs* HIIIIII~!!! I don't get a shoutout? I'm sad. =T.T=
Anyways! I was there from Friday to Monday. Shoutouts to:
-Anyone at the Ragnarok Online gathering
-The yaoi boys, but especially Andrew for lending me a piece of paper to make a sign
-The people at the front of the masquerade line. It's nice knowing that my friends and I aren't the only ones insane enough to arrive three hours early.
-The person who told us where the masquerade was going to be. Thank you. =T.T=
-The people in the full elevator in the Mariott, when we all shouted, "DENIED!" to anyone wanting to get in.
-The Peggy Sue's people. We're really, really sorry for wasting your condiments last year. But you have to admit, our ketchup and mustard art was beautiful.

i'd like to say shout outs to all those who made stage zero an even bigger success this year! we've had more games and more people joining our contests and going on stage and enjoying themselves! thats a lot of 'ands' anyways, just wanted to say hi to all those who actually went to stage zero to hang out and have fun, and enjoy the music videos as well as games, we had for them. you guys were great! we hope to see you all next year! make it an even bigger success! we're always open for suggestions so send a message to any of stage zero staff you see and we'll make sure you've been heard =D
Let me give much thanks to everyone who came by Stage Zero, whether it be participating in our games and activities, did major events as part of our programming, promoting their events, or sat down to watch us Stage Zero staff do what we did to try to entertain the Fanime Con audience.
Personal thank you and shout-outs go to the following:
First to my Stage Zero staff:
Sean Barber "The Dude": You worked so hard between the FMV contest and Stage Zero, and yet we had a much easier time this year than last year. I thank you for being our producer and for your hard work.
KitsuneOniko: I thank you for coming back and being there, even after you had gotten ill, and needed time to rest.
Seanie: You definitely stepped up as a host for Stage Zero when Oniko was away. Thank you also for the wonderful eats you had and shared to the other staff members throughout all the days we worked.
Jo, Eric, Hanzo, Chris, & Jose: You all worked hard for Stage Zero, giving 110% and more to make Stage Zero a great place to hang out at. Much thanks to the viral promotions with the balloons, as well as going around back and forth when we needed things for our Stage and for the FMVs.
Thank you to Jason Ebner for introducing Stage Zero to Fanime last year and bringing it back for next year. Hopefully we can continue to fine tune our show to be much more entertaining, more informative, and the place to be at when you aren't doing anything else.
Thank you to Scott Rux for providing prizes for Stage Zero to give out.
Thank you to all the participants and audience of our informal DDR Freestyle Exhibition on Saturday night. It was just a wonderful gathering of all DDR Freestylers, old and new, and it was quite fun to do it.
Thank you to the Parapara girl and her friend who came by and hooked up Stage Zero with those delicious treats on Saturday during the convention.
Thank you to the wonderful massage therapists, for whom I could not do Stage Zero without enjoying a couple moments of relaxation. I highly recommend to everyone to go by their area and get these wonderful massages next year (hopefully they will be at Fanime next year!).
Thank out to all the Fanime Con staff for your hard work in making Fanime Con 2007 a great event to be at.
Shout-outs to the Damn You Internets folks (Jared, Mikey, Stu, James, & Jason Green) for an entertaining panel
Shout-outs to the Orange Lounge Radio folks (Jamie, Rob, & Loki)
Shout-outs to all the folks I met during Fanime Con, whether my good friends and close associates, to new people I met during the convention.
I had a 85% drama-free Fanime (a new record!) I was there from Thursday night (Vol Badge 0001 baby!) all the way to closing ceremonies... which I have never been able to go to because it breaks my thrice-damned heart every time the con ends...)
First off, props to every single person who noticed and supported my first EVER cosplay attempt at a con. I was Lillith from Evangelion. Every single one of you made me love this con more than ever! *hugs, kisses, and glomps*
The crew at Story Story Dai for putitng up with my need to overact! Any of you can PM, EMail, or msg me, you were awesome! Props to you all and next time we'll get more of em pulled in!
To the girl dressed as a witch at the Black & White ball, for waiting until after our dance to ask about the man behind the mask. And for just letting me ramble a bit...
My final prop goes to the Narutards, for hanging out in the common areas in grenade formation. :twisted:
