Dude you were awesome! There were a few times while walking passed you I was tempted to yell "Play that one George Michael song" but same as a previous commenter I figured you had heard it many times and I didn't want to annoy you. xD But anyways, you're very talented and I enjoyed hearing you play. :)

General Convention Discussion / Re: What do you dislike most about the FanimeCon Experience? [2012 Edition]

The group of people I was with and myself all had a great time, but there definitely is some room for improvement. Just listing off a few majors that come to mind.
Parking: This one was quite difficult, I had a hard time finding empty lots. Of course the many one way streets didn't help our case. Then again parking is difficult at any convention. Maybe at the least some signs would have been nice.
Construction: It's too bad the fountain had to go. It was kind of disappointing they weren't done with construction so is was just a big blocked off pile of dirt. More disappointing than anything but hey what can you do?
Line: Registration was the most irritating part of the convention, I really think since Fanime's popularity has gotten to such a level it's important they consider new, faster ways to get badges to you. I mean come on, 6 hour lines for pre-registration lines? Definitely time for a change.
Rovers: Many of the rovers were very friendly, however I felt many of them were not doing their jobs and did not know what they were doing. When I asked a Rocer where to go for picking up my early registration badge he pointed me in the direction of the At-Con line. I thought it was strange but I figured hey he works here, he's gotta know what he's doing right? Needless to say I wasn't too happy when I got to the front after three hours just to be told I was in the wrong line the whole time. Also when waiting in extremely long lines many were not well supervised and I witnessed cutting in every single line I waited in but there were no rovers around to speak to about it. Very irritating.
Overpriced items: The price of drinks at the convention was my biggest complaint. There is the whole convenience but some of them were way too much! $5.00 for just a water? $4.00 for a soda? The food was priced okay...but it was terrible quality. I payed $3.00 for a pretzel which was hard as a rock. I took three bites and I couldn't do it.
Gatherings: The gathering list was so confusing. All they had for the location were a bunch of letters and numbers. Being that this was my first time attending it was really difficult to figure out locations with just a first glance.
That's all that really comes to mind right now. I love the con and for sure will be back next year.
