This will be the first time I'm going to fanime alone. Kinda sucks but I'm hoping that I can make some new friends to keep me company. If you're interested please let me know.
I'm going to be 25 by the 2012 con and I'm male.
I'm gonna take the leap here and say yeah I could hang out with someone new
29 male.
Hey thanks for responding!
Hey I am also going alone. I trying to get a small group of others who are going alone. I am not at all uncomfortable with a 29 year old male. If you want to hangout at the con that would be cool.
I won't be GOING alone, but most likely I'll be losing him throughout the con so technically I'll be alone by myself, but I'd be obliged to come and say hey and hang out!
I'm 22 years old male :) (but will be 23 in April so I'll be 23 by Fanime)
Well I guess I can help out a bit. We had "hang out durring the con" thread over at AX. Heres how it when:
-Everyone listed their planed schedules for the four days
-We had a set meeting point in the morring where we would get to know/wait for everyone to show up.
- Once everyone got together we then spilt up with who ever had the same kind schedule.
- We also had a afternoon meeting place where we would wait for a while for the other people that woke up late or had other plans.
-Durring the afternoon meet up we would get lunch or go to what ever part of the con. We also used the same meeting place for thoese that wanted to get dinner or or hang more in the evening.
With that being said, about 20 people showed up in the morrings, but with everyone different schedules about 3-4 people endding up sticking together.
Lunch and dinner is when mostly everyone hanged out again a bit. Then went back doing their own things
I hope this helps out a bit.
OI its fanime it is ment for meeting new cool people. so yea ill kick it with you for a while. names James
male 20
Hello, I'm Alexis and I am going with someone, but we usually split up and I would like to hang out and get to know new people. I will be there Saturday and Sunday. I am 19 and a female.
I would love to hang out! I will be going alone too! And this is my first time! I am 19 at the moment, but May 9th, I turn 20! ^.^
I'm running around with a panel and possibly a table in the artist alley, but I love meeting and hanging out with people :D
I'm here with some college friends but I run around without 'em anyways.
How about a meet up for a bunch of newbies and lonely wolves?
I'd love to meet y'all! I'm always open to meeting new people; especially at anime conventions! I'll be attending Fanime with some friends, but we'll definitely be going our own separate ways. As for myself, I'll be staffing. But if there is a time and place established, I'm sure I can figure out a way to go~ C:
Oh yeah, I will be volunteering!
Well lets just make this a simi-offical hang out durring the fanime thread then?
And fyi I have been going to cons alone for a while and always meet friends to hang out with.
On a side note we could aslo do a 21+ pub crawl like at AX..but that may take a bit more planing and if people are willing.
well it looks like we have enough people to meet up. we just need a time and place. i am there all 4 days and am down to kick it with as many awesome fanime goers as possible
I'll be there alone. I'm down to kick it. 21 year old male.
im not goin alone nor is it my first time but im gonna get ditched for the game room most of the time so id be willing to hang and meet new people :)
21 female, 7th time goin
id also be down for a 21+ pub crawl :D
there from fri-sun, and assisting the b&w ball room dances
yay people!!
so should we try to make a time and place where we can all meet up? i am there all 4 days i am 20 and male.
Ok, I can think of two places, the frist is the second floor of the Hilton that lounge part where they have the sofas.
The second spot is on the second floor by the Marriott side either outside on the paito or the tables that are next to them.
As for the time it could be at 9:00 or 10:00 and again at 12:00 or 1:00 but thats just my guess once the program schedule goes up we can decide what time has the lest interfearance.
As far as the pub crawl I can make a new thread, since a coulpe of people are not over 21 yet. But I'll have to do a bit more research and testing on bars/pubs near by.
How does that sound?
Not 21 (bluh, I should be in time for Otakon if I'm back in DC though) but I can ask around campus if there are good places in the area.
i say that its probably better to meet later since a lot of people stay up and they like to sleep in
most of the big events don't start until the afternoon anyways so meeting later is always an option
definitely make a different thread just in general for going out to bars/pubs
since im sure there are a lot of 21+ that would want to go out for a drink or something
well I'm not much a drinker but I prob won't be going to a pub/club/bar of any sort while attending fanime cause I'm being a D.D. (designated driver) for my friends who prob will get wasted for the rave...
well besides getting a bit side tracked any other possible meet up locations?

well besides getting a bit side tracked any other possible meet up locations?
another possible location would be actually inside the convention
normally i would say outside near the fountains but they got rid of the fountains :(
so yea..inside the convention anywhere..like on the first floor near where registration is and all those stairs
thats a good place as well
Somebody should probably have a sign or something to show that you are in the right place.
A sign wouldn't be nececssary.
When the time comes, those with smart phones can just post here, or they can call someone. I'll be more that happy to give out my number once fanime starts.

so is this meet up actually happening?
Oh, okay. Well, I don't have a smartphone, just a regular cell phone! But I guess that can work!

so is this meet up actually happening?
Yeah, why not? Besides think of it like a meet and greet.
We really don't have to hang out the entire day.
Like I said in my frist post, many people will have other plans, or stuff they want to see like cosplay gatherings, panels, watch anime, or concerts, etc.
People can always regroup or join up later for other stuff they want to do. Then they can go back and do their own thing.
Its all about meeting new people and making friends.
we could exchange numbers closer to the event via pm and meet up that method. bu that would be yup to you lot i am willing if others are

I second this. But repeat, when we get closer to the event.
I suggest some kind of gathering with some ideas for icebreakers? Also maybe introduce yourself here? And include what time you're getting at the con, any events you want to attend, etc.

My question, anybody seen the new Rap battle of history?!
Everyone likes Princess Mononoke! ^.^
"My question, anybody seen the new Rap battle of history?!"--- I don't know what that is.
Yup, I gotta admit there's not a lot of flops for me when it comes to studio ghibli. I am interested in Miyazaki's adaptation of the borrowers, 'The Secret World of Arrietty' but I missed the big screen released so now I gotta wait until the blu ray comes out.
As far as the "Rap Battles of History" it's a Youtube channel by Nicepeter and epicLloyd. It takes two absolutely ridiculous opponents ie Napoleon Bonaparte vs Napoleon Dynamite, Stephen Hawking Vs Albert Einstein, Beethoven Vs Justin Bieber etc etc. The latest battle was between the Mario brothers Vs the Wright brothers, they're worth checking out if you're willing to kill a few minutes.
That sounds interesting! I will check it out!

Sure, anything's possible. Besides anime (as cheesy as it's going to sound) can be the glue that binds people together.

Wow There are so many replies! I can't wait till fanime so I can meet you all! Only 60 days now... I love Fanime!
dang 60 days only?
that seems like such a long time yet at the same time such a short time since time flies by so quickly
cant wait to meet ppl!
Is there an approximate time when the meet is gonna happen?
im not sure. ur gonna have to ask the main person who started this thread...whcih im not sure who they are XD
This year is sounding better and better as we get closer to it. I can't wait. I hope I have all of my cosplay clothes before Fanime. I really want to cosplay again this year.
To answer the question of friendship, Well that depends. Most of the people I meet at previous conventions I haven't keep contact after the first month. Life kind of sets you back into the routine you had. It also doesn't help that the people I meet are far away.
To answer the food question, I can't remember but the pizza place was good. Usually I go find a Chilies or some where less crowed. I usually eat light breakfast, lunch but the dinner is when I get something more filling.
Well the original poster hasn't came back, and we kind of just when with it. But I say since most of us will be staying over Thursday we can meet up some what early on Friday. But not too early.
Arggg...one week till April and I'm starting to feel the crunch.
I would love to hang and meet new people! Me and my friend will be dressed as Rin from Blue Exorcist and Gamazee. So look for us! Don't be afraid to say hi.
I am down. :D

@Muuka
hello! Welcome to this crazy forum, blog, topic thing. Hope to see you at fanime!
Name:
Mode
Age:
26
Time of arrival:
Thursday, if I can get Friday off from work. Or Friday afternoon.
Time of departure:
Monday, end of con.
Events you will go to:
I'm usually in the Asian Film Room, Artists Alley or the dealers room. Maybe a few panels. Karaoke. Musicfest really depends on who's performing. Singing vocals in Rock Band at the Gamer's hall. Maybe I'll try out speed-dating this year?
What is your favorite anime, manga, video game, and whatever is related to the convention:
Anime/Feature Films: Gungrave, Paprika, MindGame, Hellsing Ultimate, anything seinen and mindfucky, or self-referential and ironic that breaks the 4th wall a lot. I also love a good comedy series.
Manga: I don't know where to begin....
Video Games: I love console RPGs, like Chrono Trigger/Cross, the FF games, Shin Megami Tensei series, etc.
How many times have you been here:
Six. '00, '01, '02, '03, '04, '11. This will be my 7th.
What brought you to fanime:
I've loved manga/anime/related subculture for a while now. If it's any indicator of my old fart status, I remember when we had to watch anime on VHS fansubs. Anyway, I live in San Jose, just 10 minutes away by VTA LightRail. My first FanimeCon was during 8th grade. I went back every year until I graduated highschool in '04. Moved for college/work, and came back to the bay area in '11.
One random fact:
I'm a huge music junkie and I sing.
Favorite Fanime memory:
It's a toss-up between these two:
'04: Tamaki Nami added a song to her setlist because I asked her during the autograph session. So many different experiences this year, it feels like a blur...maybe because of how sleep deprived I was, haha. :D In my memory, to this day, it becomes the convention to which I compare all other anime conventions.
'11: It was my first experience at FanimeCon WHILE ALSO being over the drinking age. Enough said, haha. ;D Fanime 2011 felt like the collision of my college state-of-mind and my fandom. It was epic.
Favorite Fanime event? Or what event are you looking forward to:
Everything. I'm looking forward to just BEING here. You know how little kids feel when they find out they're going to disneyland for the first time? Yeah. That's how I feel EVERY YEAR <3. And when it's over, I get con-withdrawal and I feel sad for a week. :'(

I started about five years ago. It was fanime in 07 that made me want to cosplay. Seeing everyone in costumes made me so excited and now in 2012 I can't stop cosplaying.
Wow this is getting bigger. Let me answer the last few questions.
I started cosplaying last year, but been on the fence for the last 3 years about it. So far I think I'll only do one or two days cosplaying. I really dont know my way around a sweing machine, so all my stuff is bought or commisioned. And its a bit harder for males to cosplay. Not much too chose from, or in my case no one I would like to dess up as.
Blank question, blank answer.
Yes, I wouldn't mind a drink or two.
I guess that was a question... sure the more new friends the better.
Only a couple of more days.

I cosplayed now for 2 years. One year it was obvious who I was, the next year was not so much.
I know some people will recognize me this year, but they may not get the exact reference that I am cosplaying for this year.
I like to cosplay as characters that people don't know or it's something nostalgic.

My girlfriend and I are always up for people hanging out with us! We love meeting new people, especially if we have similar hobbies/interests~ ^^
Your first name:
Just call me Shini~ <3
Age or age range:
25, the girlfriend just started the early twenties~
Time of arrival:
The girlfriend and I are actually arriving a couple of days early to go sight seeing and do touristy things! So technically Wednesday, ha ha~
Time of departure:
Tuesday; we're making Monday a lazy day~ ^^
Events you will go to:
Black and White Ball for sure, possibly the masquerade, various cosplay gatherings, aaand... for the rest, we'll see when we get there! :D
What is your favorite anime, manga, video game, and whatever is related to the convention:
I'm more so of a gamer, and she's more so of a manga reader. Currently, we're both absolutely obsessed with Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: Justine. Lately I've been getting hardcore into Assassin's Creed and Soul Calibur as well (hell, I still have my original copy of Soul Blade for the PS!). We're both BIG fans of manga by Kaori Yuki (Angel Sanctuary, Godchild, Ludwig Kakumei, etc.), and we both enjoy the darker/creepier songs of Vocaloid. :3
How many times have you been here:
This is her first Fanime, and this is my... fifth, I believe. I started back in '07, but had to miss last year due to school, lol.
What brought you to Fanime:
I'll be honest - I was dragged to Fanime my first time around by my ex boyfriend. I didn't have fun, and most of the convention was pretty much a downer for me. Yet, I was convinced to attend again in '08, and I've had a blast since! <3
One random fact:
The girlfriend and I absolutely love music, especially classical mixed with rock/metal! We're actually kinda devastated, because our favorite band, Apocalyptica, announced a tour date not far from my girlfriend's apartment after we reserved our plane tickets - they're playing the day after we're leaving! ; A;
Favorite Fanime memory:
Oh man, I have so many, ha ha! Hanging out with friends in cosplay, having my Godchild cosplay recognized, hanging out and drinking with the most random and awesome people, past B&W Ball events, entering the masquerades... I gotta say, the Fanime crowd is probably one of the most friendly/approachable I've ever encountered! And I've been attending cons since '01, both domestically and internationally~ ^^
Favorite Fanime event? Or what event are you looking forward to:
We're totally looking forward to the B&W Ball! We're also looking forward to seeing long distance friends and hanging out with other cosplayers from the same series. 8D
A question you want to ask everyone on this form:
Anyone else traveling long distance that want to go tour with us? Or perhaps someone want to play tour guide? :D
yeah my first time going was last year. i thought to my self iam not going to fit in here.......oh how i was wrong.
Well Mental age....10 maybe younger
I've been meaning to get to the questions all week, and now I finally can! Here goes...

A question you want to ask everyone on this form; Ummm, I know! Do any of you speak Japanese? I would love to practice speaking Japanese with someone! Don't be shy! You know you want to show off your Japanese to SOMEONE! So practice with me! Onigaishimasu!
After years and years of watching japanese films, tv shows, and anime with subtitles, and listening to copious amounts of japanese music, it's begun to rub off on me, so I've been able to half understand, though not really speak. Although if I know what I want to say and how, I will... I just need to summon my guts, haha.

The first anime I watched, without knowing about anime or fandom or even that it was from Japan, was Speed Racer.
The first anime I watched, aware that this was from Japan was Irresponsible Captain Tylor, on VHS fansubs I borrowed from my neighbor. I have her to thank for introducing to the world of anime/manga fandom. :)
The first manga I read was Dragon Ball, on those 32 page single chapter prints from Viz.

Aw, great question! Man, I usually head over to LaVic's for their orange sauce (their food is average taqueria food), or go to check out the happy hour menu at The Grill On The Alley, which is expensive, but if it's one of those years when you have the money, SOOO worth it. They've got a great Kobe Burger for 12 bucks, and a great Chicken Pot Pie. And if that fails, there's always Subway.

Yep! Sort of related to zer0's question, but I was hanging out at Tanq, the marriot/hilton bar and I started talking to this girl, she introduced me to her friends, and I really hit it off with them. We're still friends and talk on facebook, even though one of them is in Germany, and the other is in SoCal, I think.

I've never cosplayed in all my years of fandom although many of my friends have throughout highschool and college. I think primarily it's the time/money that's kept me from doing it, and also perhaps I really don't know who or what to cosplay as... The closest I've come to cosplay is a fox kigurumi, haha.

Eluveitie/Moonsorrow/Turisas/Thyrfing/Ensiferum/Wintersun/Finntroll/etc. I could talk obsessively for hours about music, but I'll spare everyone the misery hahaha. Have you heard of Judgement Day? They're a local string metal band. A drummer, a cellist and a violinist. They're pretty great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8UKn-sSqg4
And yeah, mental age totally changes, depending on who I'm with and how much I've had to drink. I'm generally pretty cheery and playful, though.

29

What brought you to fanime:
Just heard a lot of good things about it from friends of mine who've gone and decided it was about time I check it out. Looking to get out of the Northwest a bit more often for cons.
One random fact:
I've been attending anime conventions sense I was 18, so for about 11 years. Before that I'd been to a few Sci-fi/Fantasy cons. So I've pretty much grown up in the con lifestyle.
Favorite Fanime memory:
Never been, so I guess working on my cosplays and chatting on the forums!
Favorite Fanime event? Or what event are you lookming forward to:
Looking forward more to meeting people and hanging out more than anything else really.
A question you want to ask everyone on this form:
How chill is fanime? More specific, how is the environment there. Very cliquey and stand offish, or welcoming and nice?
Questions that have come before~!:
-I hope to meet all of you at the con... Alsoare you as excited as I am for fanime?
I'm super excited for Fanime! I just got back from Sakuracon and this will be my first time going!
-Do any of you speak Japanese?
I'm in my second year of study at college, so I can speak a little.
-First anime or manga?
The first anime I ever saw was Akira, followed by Record of the Lodoss War. Akira was also my first manga.
-Hows the weather?
Finally taking a break from raining here in Portland.
-What was your first Anime that you bought?
Dragon Ball Z
-Is anyone cosplaying and if so who as?
Katakura Kojuro from Sengoku Basara, for sure. Hopefully I'll get Roronoa Zoro and Mako done in time for convention also. I'm also considering bringing Squall.
-Anybody seen the new Rap battle of history?
I have, the Darth Vader and Hitler ones. I'll pretty much watch anything with a star wars character in it.
-Can a friendship be forged in a weekend that will last longer?
One of my best friends and skit partner I met at a convention. So I'd say the answer is yes. In fact, I've made a lot of great friends from just a weekend at con!
-Is there someone that uve met thru fanime and uve ACTUALLY kept in touch with afterward?
Same answer as a above. Maybe not Fanime, but at other cons and I don't see how Fanime could be any different!
-Anyone interested in a pubcrawl/going to a bar and just shooting the shit about fandom/life/etc?
I'd be interested in maybe getting a drink or two and talking.
-For those who cosplay, when did you start? And for those who haven't, what's keeping you from doing it?
My first cosplay was a drow elf when I was fifteen. Though the first costume I chose for myself was Parn at Sakuracon in 2001. It was horrible but I got the bug, I actually just redid Parn this year at Sakuracon to celebrate my tenth time going (I missed a year).
Anyone else traveling long distance that want to go tour with us? Or perhaps someone want to play tour guide?
Don't know your definition of long distance, but I'm driving 12 or so hours down from Portland and wouldn't mind possibly taking a tour around with y'all!

Ha ha, I totally understand! Although, given that you're ~quite~ familiar with the city, do you have any recommendations for awesome nearby restaurants? (doesn't have to necessarily be walking distance, just something enough that taxi fair won't drain our wallets~) We really love Italian, and I'd like to take my girlfriend to get some awesome Mexican food. <3
And oh man, that band sounds awesome! Ahahaaa, I love Wintersun! Awesome to see that we have similar tastes in music! 8DQuote from: Locke Octavian on April 13, 2012, 12:09:10 AM

Oh man, you were at the little Holiday Inn for Sakura Con in '01 as well? That was my first anime convention! I used to live in Portland as well, but now I live in the South West, lol~
The girlfriend and I are flying in from pretty far away - probably a good five hour flight, including layovers and the like. We're planning on hitting up the Egyptian museum and Winchester house, but that's all we have so far, and we've yet to determine exact days, lol. We'd also like to just explore the city, since I've never really looked around when visiting here (closest I've gone to touring was exploring Santa Clara with a friend of mine). That'd be great if you can join us! The more the merrier~ <3
Anyone else traveling long distance that want to go tour with us? Or perhaps someone want to play tour guide?
I am coming from another state but I am flying in so there is no long car ride that has to drive crazy before I get to fanime. I also don't want to wait so long to get to fanime, flying is the easiest was to get there quick.

21st Century Boys is amazing! I liked Monster, too. Naoki Urasawa is brilliant.
And yeah, can't go wrong with FF 6 and CT!
Fanime for the most part is pretty chill. I have noticed, though, that older con-goers tend to be warmer yet jaded. Younger con-goers are cliquey and high energy. Just my experience last year. I don't really remember '04 in terms of ppl because I guess I must've been cliquey with my friends? Regardless, you'll have a great time! I'm sure of it!
New friends!?
I'm going with my best friend but she's only going for a night and I'm planning on meeting up with some other friends too but chances are that I'll be alone at some point.
Your first name: Devon
Age or age range: 19! fanime is week before my 20th birthday C:
Time of arrival: Early friday
Time of departure: Sunday sometime, probably evening
Events you will go to: EVERYTHING!
But really, I have no set plans yet. I have a couple of gatherings I want to catch and maybe the masquerade. I've never been to the B&W Ball, maybe I'll stay for that this year.

How many times have you been here: This will be my 3rd year (:
What brought you to Fanime: I heard about it from some friends a couple years ago, and I decided to check it out. And now I'm hooked.
One random fact: I'm a kind of closeted anime nerd, Fanime is really my time to cut loose. I also love Harry Potter more than anything.

Ha ha, I totally understand! Although, given that you're ~quite~ familiar with the city, do you have any recommendations for awesome nearby restaurants? (doesn't have to necessarily be walking distance, just something enough that taxi fair won't drain our wallets~) We really love Italian, and I'd like to take my girlfriend to get some awesome Mexican food. <3
I live in Santa Cruz, it's like 45ish minutes away so I'm in SJ every now and then.
There's this amazing Mexican place that's on the same street as the convention center. Best burrito I've ever had I swear.
I'm not sure what it's called but it's super easy to find.
Yep, I am probably going alone like most of the conventions I go to. It's all good though, I always end up meeting new people lol. Well here goes nothing.
Your first name:
My name is An
Age or age range:
18 turning 19 this year.
Time of arrival:
Maybe day 0 or really early friday probably at 7:00 a.m. lol my friend told me to get there really early or you're gonna have to wait hours to get your badge.
Time of departure:
Sunday, earlier in the day probably gotta go to church =(
Events you will go to:
I'm not sure what events there are to go to if there is a dance/rave I will most likely go to it. I hear many people talk about going to the ball so I might check that out too. Oh yea, I am going to the gaming room because there is someone who I want to meet lol. Most likely, I will be wandering around trying to meet new people and try to record videos.
What is your favorite anime, manga, video game, and whatever is related to the convention:
My favorite Anime are
Angel Beats!
Clannad
Get Backers
Black Rock Shooter

Harhui Suzumiya
Trigun
Naruto
Hayate no gotoku

I have many more anime that I watch haha but I'm not gonna list them all
Manga? LOL I dislike reading, so I rarely read manga. Last manga I read was probably cardcaptors, and that was years ago when I was a kid. I remember when I had a crush on Sakura lol. I will probably start reading manga someday lol.
Games? Well I use to play League of Legends a lot, but I quit now for the time being because of school. My favorite hero was katarina. Some other games I played was Xenogears, Hatsune Miku project diva, smash bros, and Megaman.
How many times have you been here:
This is going to be my first time :P
What brought you to fanime:
I been trying to go to every con in the bay area so far. I started to going to cons back in 2011 and my first con was Anime Destiny @UC Berkeley
One random fact:
Just be friends, just be friends, all we gotta do just be friends!
Favorite Fanime memory:
I don't have one yet but I bet it's gonna be all the people who I am gonna meet :)
Event I'm looking forward too:
Speed dating? I will probably check that out too.
A question you want to ask everyone on this forum:
Anyone going to the cherry blossom festival on April 22nd in San Francisco Japantown?
I'm going to be there in the grand parade most likely with other cosplayers. Gonna cosplay as Otonashi from Angel Beats! if you see me there don't be afraid to say hello!
@dangs
I wish I could go sounds like fun but I live out of state.
@fixt
OMG you actually were up till 4 in the morning. Thats so cool! I want to wake up or stay up till three and wander around the con to see what everyone's doing at that time of night.
Yay and here's to many new friends.
OMG remeber only 38 days.
Quote from: Vasyenka on April 12, 2012, 03:55:17 PM
Anyone else traveling long distance that want to go tour with us? Or perhaps someone want to play tour guide? :D
Well I'll be driving up there, its a 3 hour drive for me. But unless you plan on staying a few more days in San Jose there is lots to do. But during Fanime, well that will just take up most of the time.
Quote from: fixt on April 16, 2012, 02:21:03 PMWhat/where and when was the best con you ever went to
Ah to me its a draw with Fanime and Anime Expo. I had such great times at both.
Quote from: Locke Octavian on April 13, 2012, 12:09:10 AM
How chill is fanime? More specific, how is the environment there. Very cliquey and stand offish, or welcoming and nice?
Everyone there is pretty chill, friendly. There really isn't anyone there looking to start things. Just random glumps. I was victim to one. A case of mistaken identity. But like most cons there are good and bad, but nothing to worry or stress out about it.
Quote from: dangs on April 16, 2012, 11:46:52 PM
Anyone going to the cherry blossom festival on April 22nd in San Francisco Japantown?
Well I do have the day off, but it is a long drive up there. I did went last year...or was it the year before, I forget.
Lets see what else did I forget to cover... oh LOL at the mental age part. I guess I still feel like I'm in my early 20's still.
As far as restaurants there are a lot just with in 5-6 blocks, they have just about every type their is. Just by walking up and down 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th streets your bound to fine what your looking for.
And I also been up till around 3am during the con season, but just depends on the day and if I'm tired or still hyper.

For Mexican food, There's two places just down the street from the convention center. One is La Victoria Taqueria. The other, less than a block away, is Iguana's. They're both pretty standard taqueria fare, with two notable exceptions. La Vic's has this AMAZING secret orange salsa that you just want to put on everything. Iguana's has the Burritozilla, which is a crazy 5+ pound burrito featured on Travel Channel's Man Vs. Food. They're both pretty good, although it seems like La Vic's knows that we're all addicted to their orange sauce, so their ACTUAL food has slacked a little bit. Iguana's is about the same foodwise. Recently, Iguana's has created their own orange sauce which isn't as good as LaVic's, it's more smoky and less creamy. My suggestion: Buy a bottle of LaVic's orange sauce, and pour it on your Iguana's Burritozilla, XD. and then keep the sauce in your fridge for the next time you have to eat something bland and tasteless. Orange Sauce becomes instantly delicious. Of course if you like to experiment, mix LaVic's orange sauce with Sriracha!!! That'll add some legit spiciness to it.
Seriously though... that orange sauce is soooooooo fucking good, lol.
I'd recommend checking places to eat on Yelp. That's what I do, when I'm tired of eating at home, haha.

No particular series pops into mind, so I'll generally say more seinen, mindfucky manga! Although US publishing companies have been doing all right in bringing series over...

A question you want to ask everyone on this form: What/where and when was the best con you ever went to?
It's a toss-up between FanimeCon 2004 or FanimeCon 2011. '04 was the ultimate con experience to which I compare every other convention. '11 was awesome for a different reason, but it helped update my convention ideal a little bit.

That's this weekend, right? Hmmm maybe...
You know... I just realized something. Everyone wants to check out a lot of things at the con, so I hope that this year they don't do what they did last year and make everyone have to go through their phones or print out a schedule at home before going to the con. I wish they at least improve that feature this year, cause last year, it made it hard to figure out what, at least for me and my friends, we wanted to do.
this will be my first time going to Fanime, therefore I won't know anyone there. I've always gone to anime cons alone, and I usually make friends at those cons, so I'm never alone for long. Plus I know of people who I'm gonna be meeting at Fanime, so that's a plus. Still, I'm always open to meeting new faces. :3

yeah it was a bit of a pain, last year (being my first time there) was a bit disorganized when it came to information about the schedules. twice i was told where the public schedule was and twice someone had walked away with it, once the light bulb came on and i checked it on my phone it became easy to find out where and when i wanted to be depending on the activity. I prefer it on my phone instead of walking around with papers, cameras, purchases etc etc.
A mobile schedule also makes it easy for changes to be made.
I missed everything last year that i wanted to do because I couldn't find a scedule.
I think if they posted the schedule on it's own webpage and put QR codes around the event, or posted what the website was, that posted up signs all over the halls, people could figure out what was going on a bit easier and not miss out on things. And I think there would be less confusion over the whole thing.
Just an idea. lol
Yeah hopefully there won't be any repeats of last year...I never had any idea what was happening because of the lack of a physical schedule. And I couldn't find out from word of mouth because pretty much everyone else was clueless as well..(btw I didn't/don't have a smart phone =_=)
But oh well that's all in the distant past(a whole year ago) and things will be fun again this year. Looking forward to seeing new faces and such and even the same ol' faces I always see. ;D
I haven't been to a forum gathering in ages. I'm interested, but I'll fill out the form thing later.

Yeah I remember that.... A bit inconvenient but I had a smart phone, but that was just another drain on the battery that should be there.
I hope they would learn from that mistake this year. Lets see how things go.
If they do go that route again, they should at lest make large signs with the schedule.
anyone up for some drinks maybe at a local bar or club one of the nights there. also cosplaying at a bar is pretty fun.
I'm up for anything. 1st time at FanimeCon.
I might not make it for financial reasons, but I want you all to know me anyway as I normally attend every year. for me to miss a Fanime means there's something seriously wrong.

A question you want to ask everyone on this form:
-I hope to meet all of you at the con... Alsoare you as excited as I am for fanime? @ Haunterluvcookies Yes, though as I stated above, I might not make it if finances fail to improve.
-Do any of you speak Japanese? @ Kpmonkeygirl I speak some, haven't done much lately to learn.
-First anime or manga? @echoshadow Probably Robotech
-Hows the weather? What was your first Anime that you bought? @echoshadow Forgot and the weather is too hot.
-Is anyone cosplaying and if so who as. @zero209 I suck at cosplaying, though I wanna do Secret of Mana's Randi after playing the iOS port
So if I go, just look for a guy playing Secret of Mana on his iPhone. You'll spot me that way.

I kind of had the same thoughts, I'm kind of stressing out just a bit.. Then again I am planing for 2 cons after all(Fanime and AX). One cosplay is almost done. I'm have to hold on the second for AX, or do one that is easier. I'm actually having a hard time falling asleep lately. Just the pre-con jitters I guess.
Once everything is set I should feel more relaxed.

@llaaannniii
Cause they decided that they wanted more money then to make a game that had some substance to it?
I think that they make some good games, but compared to what they use to make, they have dropped the ball. Now it's all pretty pictures and videos, while the story is a bit lacking. In my opinion.

Oh trust me, at that hour, it is the best. Some really wacky things happen at that time.
Plus, with the dance hall still going, videos being played, games in the game hall still going and people getting drunk, it truly is the best time to be at Fanime during those hours of the night. Haha

Nice! I won't be wearing a wig nor have red eye contacts cause me and wigs don't get along :P and finding the right size for male contacts is actually harder than it is. The ones I find are not right or have feminine looks or with some different colors mixed. I really can't find a plain blood red contact haha
@Kane64
WOW now I really want to see what is happening late at night. That will be something I will do right away, mabye friday or sat night.
@Maskenlav
That sucks. Long wigs hate me I try and stay to shorter wigs. With contacts it will be my first time, I hope I don't poke my eyes out or something...
im honestly excited for fanime to happen

What is a fishbowl?!? :U
It's exactly that, a bowl you'd keep a pet goldfish in, volume about 1.5 to 2 liters.... only it's filled with various types of alcohol and mixers hahahhahahaha

Grandes (http://www.citycheers.com/templates/one/index.php?vid=61375)
House of Pizza (http://kukarshouseofpizza.com/)
All of which are within walking distance from the convention and have enough space to sit a large group of people :D

Personally, I suggest Saturday night, since Friday is still having people settling in and getting pumped up for Saturday. If you haven't seen some of the antics that have happened in the past, you should check youtube for some videos. People have posted a few things that have happened during some of the late nights.
@Kane64
Then Sat it is! I must see these things and participate! ;D
The best thing to do is not look at your finger while inserting it. I tend to zone out to the background and get your eye sort of used to it by slowly going in until it stops squirming or trying to auto blink lol

My GF and I might be interested in meeting new people to hang with this year. Our friends bailed out on us with, apparently, more important things to do.
More important than Fanime??? INCONCEIVABLE! :D

I was drinking tea when I read this. I now have a cleaner monitor because of you.
I cant wait as well. Just a couple of more days. Some how I feel like I'm forgeting something. I keep checking to see if I have pants on. I'm sure I'll remember when the time comes to pack.
As for the location I'll find the map of the convention center and mark a few spots somewhere close to the main entrance but not in the way of any lines or gathering spots

Hello!
This year will be my first time not vending, so if anyone would like to meet up with me it'd be amazing! My BF is going to be in the game room all weekend D:. Also, if you would like to hang out with me I am inclined to tell you a couple of things, 1. I am 22, not as important as part 2. 2. The Mario Yaoi brothers have said if they find me they are going to ambush me with dances and crazy-ness. :/ I happened to end up working with some of the guys from the Mario Yaoi brothers D: and made good friends with them so you have been warned. You will probably also be ambushed. Other than that, I would love to make new friends ^^

Welcome, hope to see you there. I am going alone this year, my friends are having to money trouble. Crazyness...I haven't seen it all yet?
Some of you guys may know the Pokemon Men from conventions last year. They were the guys doing a photoshoot shaving themselves in the fountain in front of the entrance. :o Yeah, those are my friends from college, hahaha. I think they're doing Mega Man this year. Keep an eye out for them!

I saw them, they were pretty crazy. And so funny!
So... is there like a secret hand shake we have to perform to acknowledge we're all chummers at Fanime?
I think finding a time and place to meet up will work...

I'm down. A lunch/dinner meet up and/or other meet up would be fun. Anyone have an idea of a good time to meet up, or should we wait until the event schedule is set up to figure it out?
Waiting for the event schedule makes sense to me. We wouldn't want anyone to miss out on a panel, event or screening, right?
Its good to find a time that we might be able to agree on. I love the lunch/dinner its a good way to get to know people. Bond over food... ;D
Oooh, this sounds like fun. Always love meeting new people, especially con goers ;D
Also, karaoke sounds fun!
for the people who have those types of cosplays that are hard to recognize or don't know what their from this would be a great thing to have a specified spot. For those who are obviously from something and/or described what they are in this thread, might run into each other and then find the bigger group together.
Example: me and echo shadow are both Sebastians with black angel wings so then kane, haunter and shivaedge find us, then all of us go find the larger group together.
QuoteOne random fact;
Okay, to be serious, I have quite a messy bedroom, but I like it that way :)
QuoteA question you want to ask everyone on this form: what kind of anime or mangas or games do you wish were coming out in the US?
Game: F-Zero Climax (or for that matter, more AX arcade cabinets XD)
Anime: Where to start?.....
Manga: Some stuff here and there that I feel should be rescued/re-licensed
Yeah the Sebastions with wings our easy to spot. I think we just need to find a spot that there are not a lot of congoers. mabye somewhere in teh park across from the con.
@shivaedge
Hello, I hope to meet you as well... congoers are the best and so friendly.

I marked a few possible places to meet up from #1-9 that will be out of the way of the crowds or other cosplay meets-ups.
#8, #9 are on the second floor on the hotel lounge area just in case it seem like its out of place.
If anyone has other meet up spots or like the spots please say so.
Also with only 2 weeks to go if anyone want my cell just send me a pm. That helps out for meeting up/etc.

I like that idea too. How about this, since most of us will be there Thursday we can have a day 0 dinner and have a lunch on day 1 for those that missed it or came late. But first we have to wait for the schedule to come out to plan out the lunch.
DAMN echoshadow
ur HELLA thorough..
like more thorough then i am
well done :D
something will be planned for sure
@echoshadow
I like your idea of being very out of the way so we can spot each other. Mabye the hotel lobby.
A day 0 meeting for dinner could be nice, or earlier cause I got a gathering to hit at 6:30. but thats all.
I womder what everyone else has to say...
Sadly, I won't be able to make it to con until Friday night :[ Around 8 or 9 because of the travel. I would love to go sooner but game companies don't work that way D: especially after a lot of people got laid off. ><
If you guys were to meet up, the "Arcade"(#2) isn't a bad spot to meet up. You could wait alongside the wall and everyone walking by there would see you. And that area doesn't get too crowded besides traffic walking by.....Having a sign or something that catches eyes would help flag down everyone.
Play music and make a dance circle or something>,>(I'm actually half serious about that one)
Btw Fanime is almost here! It's gonna be one to remember for me^_^
I know I am so excited for fanime! I plan on doing so much this year.
the arcade might work but its still a crowed place.
I actually like that arcade wall idea!! We can have someone obvious stand there and shout out for the usernames in this specific group. Like have some naruto stand there and shout out our usernames.
Example: "Meeting group is looking for Maskenlav, Kaycea, princesskitty18, echo shadow, haunterluvescookies, ect."
I prefer the idea of meeting at a hotel lobby or somewhere quieter than the arcade.

Well, if we all decided to meet up late at night, we could meet up where the Maid Cafe is? It is pretty quiet there after all the maids leave for the evening, and there are tables and chairs there for people to sit, if they wanted to sit. Just another idea.
That could be a good idea or like have a sign with our usernames or something.
As mentioned by echoshadow with the image, of all those areas, I know that area's 1 and 2 are usually pretty empty of people throughout most of the con. Area 4, being the Maid Cafe, is pretty empty after around 6 or 7pm when it closes. As for the other areas, they are pretty busy with foot traffic and other con go'ers, but in front/inside of the hotels can also work, as I have seen those areas become quite empty throughout the con as well.
The overall problem is finding everyone, so the most quiet place the better. Well we got 20 days to decide were to meet. I think we should meet on Thursday for a dinner or lunch. Mabye people could exchange scedules and see if they match up. We could so that for friday.

I agree a quiet spot too but Thursday I won't be able to make it! At least not until 9 pm :( what time does all the festivity end on Day 0?
The party never ends on Day 0 but if I has to say a time after 8 mabye 9. I got a gathering a 6:30. This could all be aranged for Friday if thursday is to much trouble.
we should do this on non peak hours so we can both meet each other then attend whatever afterwards. Or if two people really click they can go together ;)
Perhaps "Looking for people to hang out with" badges can be made, turning this topic into an actual (unofficial) Fanime event, that way it would be easier to identify us at the convention. Perhaps a bright orange or green tag/badge people can wear... or something like that. :P
As silly as it sounds, it would serve a purpose or two, as an ice breaker, and to easily identify those specifically looking for people to hang out with. Simple. Direct. To the point with minimal effort. :o
The badge idea doesn't sound to bad actually, then we could find a place to meet and we would know who each other from the badges.
The funny part is that the spot marked as "Arcade"(#2) on the map isn't really where the arcade is. And like someone else said it tends to be fairly empty except for wall huggers and passer-bys. But there is plenty of spots that could potentially work as long as there was some way for people to recognize the meeting spot. Depending on what day I go I could volunteer to be the land mark. I have black/blonde dreads and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one at the convention center that has that. And If my friend brings a boom box we'll prolly be dancing anyway(They're poppers)
I will say now that there are no guarantees on the boombox though...and I'm not sure what day I'll be able to go. I'm aiming for Thursday but who knows?<,<
Whatever os the easiest for everyone. I kind of oblivious.... :-\

Areas 5 and 6 are good spots. In the little outside patio, there's not many people. The tables in front of the Marriott entrance are pretty good spots.
We just need a spot that we can find each other.
Hotel lobby?
I just remembered that we can't really use the arcade front wall at night due to the Swap Meet that they have been doing. That takes up the whole front of the arcade floor. So, as good as an idea that is, we can't use it, at least not during the evening times on Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
But I like the Hotel lobby idea and the patio area ideas as well.
So lets narrow it down to hotel loby, which by the way, or the patio. A time, and wither its thur or fri. It seems like the best options considering. However did they say they were moving the swap meet to another building?
So what does everyone think of hotel lobby or patio?
how about we meet at the second floor of the Marriott by the big windows where the gaia panel usually is. You can literally look down and see the outside area where the trees are and people photo-shooting under them.

No worries we can all meet up for lunch/dinner during the rest of Fanime. So don't worry about missing Thursday.
I know how it is with work, especially after a layoff. Everyone's holding on to their butts. I missed out on Friday last year too because of work.
Any location is fine by me. For the Thursday dinner meet up looks good too, so is the time. I think that should allow enough time to pick up our badge/check in/unpack at our hotels.
Lets just wait for everyone's opinion for the Thursday meet up.

That shouldn't be a problem just as long as everyone knows where we are going to eat, they can meet us up there.
As for the festivity, there is really nothing going on. Its just to pick up your badge and a few gatherings that's all.
As far as finding everyone during the con, its really simple just try to be there by the time posted. And it doesn't hurt to say what you plan on wearing, example: a dude with a blue shirt and black pants. I'll know its him just by that and the location and time.
No sings are needed and like I said I can give out my cell number for who ever wants it.

Would it be possible for a 830ish meet up so I can at leasttt make it to the last part of the meeting? :D I like the idea of meeting in the Marriott and don't really mind where so long as its a decent size space cause I'm thinking it'll be quite a few of us meeting up?
its pretty much those who are posting in here specifically. I'll be there at 8 maybe with a girl or alone. Look forward in saying hi and running into you guys during the actual con hours!
I can't wait I am so excited to meet all of you! And make new friends... yay! ;D

im hella excited but also really busy in the meantime XD
i personally can only do friday after the karaoke contest
im fine wit givin out my phone number and i can also say what im gonna be wearing since i aint cosplayin or anything
i might be there alone or wit my boyfriend, no idea yet
but as long as someone just makes an official announcement of time and place, i can be there :D
I MIGHT be in somewhat in my Sebastian one cause I gotta make sure a Ciel girl finds me beforehand. Might come with her or come alone in casual clothing. Either way I'll be there :)
so are we confirmed for those big windows in the hallway at the Marriott?

I think we are a go for the 8pm meeting at the second floor windows of the Marriott on Thursday. And I think we can just sit and chat for like an hour or so, so the stragglers can still meet up with us, those who said they can't get there until 8:30 or 9pm.
As for a second meet up on Friday, we may have to figure out another time and location, if they have panels going on on Friday that is.
@PrincessKitty18
I am adorable? Thank you so much! You so amzing and so nice! ;D You made my super crummy day ten times better!
~~~~
On the other hand, I like the Thursday idea. All I have to do is fly in, catch a cab, check in, unpack, get my badge blah blah blah gathering and I am done. Then I can go and meet some very awesome people later! :o ;D
Well, since we are talking about what we are doing on Thursday before the meet up...
Once I finish up with my class and take the train back to SJ, I will be walking over to the hall, picking up my pass, then going to the meeting area, unless it's too early, in which case I will go and get some food, probably from La Victoria just down San Carlos. So if you end up seeing a guy eating a burrito on Thursday, then that will probably be me. Haha
I know I will be in before noon. I want to unpack and relax mabye eat something before the badge pick up. Then I got to get ready for the gathering.
unfortunately i cant be there until friday
so anything after friday im good :D
@haunterluvcookies: yes u are adorable cuz ur so excited abotu it :D hahaha

for sure
i have karaoke contest friday night, speed dating event sunday afternoon, black and white ball, and then randomly wandering thruout the con itself :D
im sure we can run into each other somehow
what I would do before this meet-up is get my badge, go to the room and unpack, go swimming at my hotel and then most likely come casual clothed. Get some lunch at the McDonalds near by on my way and then probably arrive at 8 or just a tad bit late lol

We will most likley run into each other and I might just have to have hugs.
@Maskenlav
Your doing something very similar to except the swimming, I want food I will know that when I finally get there.
Wednesday night: Print out the schedule, go through it highlighting possible things to do. Hit up this thread to figure out what's happening, LOL.
Thursday: My plan is to get home from work, pack, take the VTA Light Rail over to the convention center. Go to the Safeway nearby, and pick up a bottle of Captain Morgan that I promised my roommates(who I met through the roommate thread here, lol), check into my room, relax and get to know my roomies, and then meet you guys!!!!
I'm not working on a cosplay or anything, but maybe I should just wear my kigurumi? It's SOOOOOOO comfortable.

That looks so comfortable. Thats so cool that you live so close! I have to fly and take a lame taxi to get to the hotel.

When I looked at the hilton it said it didn't have shuttle serive. I really don't want to take a taxi but if I have to I will. I don't think theres any other way but taxi.
There's an airport shuttle for $15, or you can risk the bus for cheaper. Surprised there's no hotel shuttle, though.
I'll have to look into the shuttle. I am so not from the area so I was just planning on winging it when I got down there. Thats probaly a bad thing to do but I don't know.

If I was in town when you arrived at the airport, I'd give you a ride to your hotel. But since I will probably be in SF at that time, I won't be able to.

same!
i dont arrive in the bay area until around midnight on thursday otherwise id help give a ride too
Thanks so much guys! :) Your so amazing and helpful. ;D However I think you both are right, I am checking in early I will be in San jose at 10:05 am so I could possibly check into the hotel early.
Well...most hotels won't let you check in early...at least not before 3:00 pm. So be prepared for that.
I suppose your still a bit too young to rent a car (not over 25). Well hopefully the taxi won't be that expensive. Or you could ask your roomies if they have a car?
Well as for the day zero dinner, any thoughts? Something quick, cheap or filling?
Is any one meeting up Saturday? Because I will not be arriving t'ill Saturday due to my college final exams.

Not officially. But I'm sure a lot of us would be okay with another meet up on Saturday. I know I wouldn't mind. Just hope I'm not to tired after all my other meet ups that day. :)
so which meetings are official?
thursday night only or both thursday and friday?

Hmmmm...
Well, assuming you're ok with a stranger giving you a ride from the airport, I live in the area and have a car. Taking Thursday and Friday off from work so I'm free to perhaps shuttle a few folks looking for rides from the airport to their hotels.
I wouldn't mind meeting up with some folks for a dinner or something either, so far I've seen Thursday at 8pm? Is that right? I'm actually going to be attending the con with a friend this time around but I'm sure she'd be up for a small get-together as well.
If I'm not mistaken we have...
~Thursday at 8pm on the second floor if the Marriott
~Friday at 9pm (this one is still being determined, but I am certain of the time but not the location)
~Nothing is planned for Saturday, yet. What time and location would be good for everyone for a Saturday meet up?

That would be cool. If you anime fan I think I could trust ya. If you want to though. I really don't want to take a taxi or try and find a light rail or something.
@echoshadow
Well I rooming with someone and the room I got he wanted us to be there before 11 to check in. but if not I leave my stuff and go get something to eat.

Yes we plan to make one every day of fanime. So for we just planed for Thrusday dinner meet up.
We have yet to pick a spot & time for the actuall meet up/hang out during the con.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday dinner meets ups may be a bit tricky since there are a few things going on around 8:00. Unless we make it an early dinner meet up. Around 5:00 or 6:00. But just because we can't make it to the dinner, doesn't mean we can't have a lunch meet up. And we will still have the actual meet up/hang out during the con, its not all about food. ;)

Oh, that I am. Hell, I'm enough of an anime fan that I made an AMV to enter into Fanime's contest (though we'll see if mine is chosen as a finalist or not, soon ;)). And yeah, totally up for helping fellow con-goers, taxis are expensive and going around light rail with luggage can be a pain. That goes for anyone else who would be getting in earlier Thursday too, btw, I kinda doubt I'd have I'd have to time give rides on actual con days :D
As for places to get food, how does Flame's sound? Just a few blocks from the convention center, not too expensive, and would have drinks for those who want it?

Hey if your up to it then its fine with me. I just need a ride to the hotel, thanks so much! ;D
Flame's? Well I am hoping to try some new places to eat other than subway or mcdonalds.
@Haunterluvcookies:
If, for whatever reason, ride plans fall through, getting to the convention center/hilton/marriott is really easy! Here's a little mini-guide, just in case Murphy's Law decides to demonstrate itself that day:
So, I'm guessing that you're arriving at SJC Mineta airport. They have a FREE shuttle (Bus Route 10) that takes you to the Metro/Airport Light Rail Station, and Caltrain(but that's not relevant). It'll get you from the airport to the lightrail station in 10 minutes! A new shuttle departs each designated stopping point approximately every 15-30 minutes from 5:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
http://www.vta.org/schedules/SC_10.html
At the lightrail station, tickets are 2 bucks, at least according to the automated ticket machines. You could get on any of the southbound lightrails, like the one going to Santa Teresa or the one going to Winchester. Choose any of the two, since they both pass the convention center. And if you have any questions, there's usually a VTA officer to tell you which one to get on. You would be getting on at the Metro/Airport station that the bus dropped you off at, and riding the southbound light rail for just under 20 minutes. And it drops you off right in front of the convention center! All the major stops are listed here:
http://www.vta.org/schedules/lr_interactive_map/lrBusMap.html
And if you accidentally miss the convention center stop, it's okay! Your ticket is good for at least 2 hours, which is plenty of time to make multiple lightrail trips if you so desire.
Now I don't know how much luggage you have, but if ride plans fall through, it's good info to have, and you'll save a bunch on Taxi Fare!
I get on lightrail at the Branham stop and take the northbound one. I've taken it every year, and it's cool to see a lightrail car full of con-goers and cosplayers, haha.

Sounds good. I'll send ya some contact info as the con approaches in a PM or something.
As for Flames, here's the website and menu: http://flameseatery.com/ and http://flameseatery.com/flames-menu.pdf
I'll be there for thursday but the other prob not
@viriilevocalist
Thanks so much for the info! I will keep that in mind if something happens the day I come.
@Imagine
Okay, thanks so much for the ride, saves me the trouble of getting lost in San Jose. and I will be looking for the PM.

I've been thinking about doing this at times. Would save on the gas and the price for parking. The only downside to it though is if I buy something, I wouldn't have a place to take it.
That for is a good thing because I have a hotel room.
@kane64
Also if your willing to trust me, you can store all your items you bought in my hotel room. It could save you some money that way. If that will help any.
if we're gonna be staying till late, theres like happy hour at mckormick and schmidt right where the Fairmont is at. I believe it starts at 9 and ends at 11, and the other happy hour time for them is 4 to 6. Their burger and fries were only $1.50 last time i went ( but that was a year ago and they couldve changed it). They also make really good drinks since they use fresh juice instead of the sugary stuff. Their happy hour catch is you gotta purchase a drink whether it would be soda or an alcoholic beverage. I just hope their bar area would be able to host us :)
IDK about happy hour. I just turned 21 and I am still not much of a drinker so I might pull out if you guys decided to do this. Sorry, I just don't really like the taste. :-\

Hey, don't worry, I don't drink much as it is. So if we were to go to an actual bar(which I doubt we will) I will hang with you and not drink as well.
And about the storing stuff in your room... that would be awesome!! I will just have to see if my friend, who I bringing to the con Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is cool with the idea of walking to and from the Lightrail station at different hours, which I am sure he won't mind.

Yay! I have others that understand where I am coming from. Everyone here thinks its werid that I don't drink now that I am 21.
lol nah haunter I find it that convention goers are more open and more friendly than the average social person. I dont drink as much either cause if I do, my face turns red as if I was drunk but completely sober lol
Oh that sucks about drinking. I just get a bit to giggly and happy if I like have more then a couple of sips.
I love congoers! i find it hard to talk to non anime fans and I am a bit shy talking to people I don't know. But When I am at anime conventions its so east to talk to someone I don't know. Mabye its because we have lots in common at cons or something but I love it so much.

I get made fun of for not drinking around my friends as well. It's just how some people are. So yeah, I wouldn't worry about a lot of us, a lot of us seem to be just like you and not drink.
YAY! I am so glad, I thought I was werid for not wanting to drink. I am so glad others feel the same way.

Is the beauty of cons. Everyone is there because they share a love of something, so no matter who you find you'll always have something to converse about. I don't think I've ever seen ever unhappy at a con.
As for drinking, I, too, do not like it much. Really, I just can't stand the taste of it, especially beer. And, amusingly enough, I think I drank more when I was underaged than I've drank since I turned 21 8)

Is the beauty of cons. Everyone is there because they share a love of something, so no matter who you find you'll always have something to converse about. I don't think I've ever seen ever unhappy at a con.
As for drinking, I, too, do not like it much. Really, I just can't stand the taste of it, especially beer. And, amusingly enough, I think I drank more when I was underaged than I've drank since I turned 21 8)
I was suprised my first con I went to, which was fanime, everyone was so nice. It was werid, but after awhile I began to enjoy every second. Mabye thats why fanime is my favorite con of all time.
I never drank before I was 21, other than sips of my parents drinks and that one time at the halloween party when I took a shot. I like you don't like the taste but I was fine with drinks that only tasted a bit like acohol. They were good drinks!

This will be the first time I'm going to fanime alone. Kinda sucks but I'm hoping that I can make some new friends to keep me company. If you're interested please let me know.
I'm going to be 25 by the 2012 con and I'm male.
Will be my 3x at fanime. Going with my best friends pretty much, and meeting new peoples would be cool. I'm a 25 years of age, and would suggest the rave. Always another good way to meet people.
Ok, so to get back on track with the actual hang out/meet up location I prefer locations #8,5,6. Just because those spots have seats. I'll like to sit while waiting for the other people to show up.
(for those that missed it loaction map is on page #9)
As for the times well we do not have the schedule yet. I was also thinging of two possible meet up times one in the morring and the other in the afternoon. We can use the afternoon one for lunch meet up and regoup/degroup
So just to recap:
Thusday (dinner meet up) - 8:00 pm ~ish. Location: Marriot side, hallway with the windows on the scond floor. Overlooking the trees nex to the c.c. main entrance. (Next to spot #9)
Friday-Monday: tba (once the schedule is posted)

That's why we are planning to have meet ups on other days as well. You should join us for one of the other meet ups.

For the other days not to sure most likely winging it, I have a shigami outfit from bleach and my friend is a bit chobbits fan so I might just be one as well, I don't really have any plans xD
Any hard core Otaku's out there? and by hard core I mean it xD(watched latest anime online, and have lots of Otaku knowledge, as in not just the average "I watch death note, bleach, naruto, madoka, durarara" and junk, I need straight up, "How many animes are you watching this season?" "Im watching around 26, named.....etc."),
I promise We'll have a bunch of fun!!!! xD I want con buddies (this is my first con) oh! and Please like Moe, I die for my moe ;D

OMG we should hang out because my MOE is past the point of sane! I love certian anime characters more than others, more than real men! All about 2D, not 3D! I just finished three anime series over the last week. I am so nice sorry, I sound like a creeper!!! I am so not...
So I am going to friend you on facebook cause I could rant forever on anime...

I think it would look good. I mean silver/white hair is a hard look to pull off because mainly you only see it on elderly people. But you have the facial structure and skin color is good. I mean I don't want to judge and its all up to you; I say if you fell comfertable as Prussia then go for it.
I will have the wig all weekend so you can decided if you want to use it.

I have only one concern about that area for Friday, that being that they may have some panels going on and we might be in the way. Hence another reason for waiting for the schedule, which I hope they post soon. I still think that either the seated area in the con area near the Marriott or the area where the Maid Cafe is during the day would be a good spot to meet up on Friday.
Also, if it ends up being that we can't figure it all out before the con, I know that I will still post an update to the meet up while at the con, if we need to do that.

Nothing that I have seen yet, but I posted the question of when the schedule will be out. When I hear something, I will post about it here.
If we are lucky, the schedule itself will be posted one week before Fanime starts. If not then, it will likely be posted a few days before, from my understanding.

I've always done Prussia in the past so of course I'd feel comfortable. Just want to make sure if I do bring my cosplay and join there you'd be willing to provide the wig to a stranger :P
@kane: oh yeah I forgot lol the only place I know that isn't crowded nor has events going on is the wall to the outside of the arcade exit doors closer to the rave entrance. If you exit the arcade doors and turn thecorner theres a long stretch of empty wall that leads to the rave entrance, we can meet up along that.

I think near that area is good but around 8 is when the rave starts and maybe its smart to meet bellow where Starbucks is since it will be closed and most people would be busy upstairs.

I'm familiar with that spot, though I know that sometimes that people line up there for the Swap Meet or to create the "Hug Me Wall".

I like that idea. The Starbucks, first floor, near the stairs or something. The first floor is usually not busy at all during the night hours.

Well, we are currently trying to work out the details for the Friday night meet up, the 26th, but once we do, you are more then welcomed to join us. I have created a mini list of those who are planning to go to our meet up on page 14 if you would like to take a look see.

Well, if you can't make the Thursday one, we will be doing a Friday one as well, and due to the schedule not being out yet, the time for Fridays meet up has not been finalized, so it might be earlier, or it might be later. We are still trying to work out the details. :)
So I got a floor map and marked where the meet up for Thursday will be, the 8pm meet up.

I am also working on a meet up floor map for Friday, and everyone can vote as to the location they like the best.
Here is the locations that have been mentioned for the Friday meet up. Please state which one you think would be best for us.
My vote is currently for spot A or spot B.

Yeah so far the lack of the schedule is holding things back. Hopefully by monday the it well be up then we can go from there.
As for the Friday night I plan to go to the Speed Date event which is from 8:00 pm -10:00 pm. So that leaves me out for that time.

Maskenlav Post:
I've always done Prussia in the past so of course I'd feel comfortable. Just want to make sure if I do bring my cosplay and join there you'd be willing to provide the wig to a stranger.
I have no problem letting you use my wig. ;D I really won't need it until monday when the gathering is, I might use it on friday but I am not sure. Just let me know when you have to use it.

Lots to do on Friday! I have a couple of things to do earlier in the day but only one thing to do at night. A gathering I have to go to a 6 but after that I am free. So i am up for anything after the gatherings over. So we can come up with a reasonable time after the fetivities die down on Friday.

For me its checking into the hotel, and unpacking. I get into a casual cosplay and go eat! ;D

i normally go downstairs and walk around to see the cosplayers and make my way to the dealers room to see if theres anything thats a must pick up now and not monday item!
yaayy! we got more people joining more group! i think as we get closer to fanime its gonna keep growing and growing!
Friday night at 10 i might be busy but i can do an earlier meet up as long as theres no panels and etc. btw musicfest i believe they said is gonna be on saturday!

Most likely meet my roomates, I rented the room but my best friend is bringing all of her collage friends and I am only going to know her x.x;; But I made sure that I got a bed >:D After that get dressed I guess and get my badge and I am still unsure what I am going to dress that day but If its sango I have to get one of those weapon thingys = w =; then roam around xD
Also if its later then thats also good because I will most likely be at the rave for a little bit, I will just bring my phone, question are we going to exchange numbers?

Hmmm... Depends on what the schedule is like, but I usually go to check out the exhibition hall first to check if there's some loots I want.
Also, the clear up my meeting attendance, I'll be around for Thursday with a +1, but almost certainly will not be there for Friday's meetup.
Seems like everyone is doing lots of things when they first get here. I sounds lazy! But I know getting my pass will be the top prioity other than landing safetly at the airport.

Welcome aboard. The more people the better.
Yeah, I'm starting to get ready, finding my luggage from the garage, getting the car ready. I just need to pick up my suit for the black and white ball. That should take care of most of it. I'm really looking forward for the ball.
Like you said lots to do on Friday, but with out a schedule its hard to plan out the day.
On Thursday I just plan to drive up there, pick up the badge, check in, rest a bit, then go to the dinner meet up.

For me, just show up, get my pass and then wonder the halls for a few hours until the meet up. I don't have a hotel room to stay in, since I live in the area and will just drive/lightrail in to the con.
Also, the list has been updated. It is on page 14. If your name is not on there, or is in the wrong spot, please let me know and I will fix it. :)

Hey I'm crazy myself. Don't worry about it. Happy and hyper are always fun. Sounds like "sassy" is a better and easier single word as a description. And tearing your hair? Really shouldn't do that. Not healthy for the body and the whole looks thing blah blah you get the point. Don't end up like those parrots you see plucking out their own feathers ( those poor souls..).

Oh the whole parrots thing, right. I'm not sure if you're seen this at the zoo before but I once saw some parrots use their beaks to pluck away at their pretty little feathers until they are "bald" and have patches of feathers here and there.
And sarcasm is part of 10 languages I know myself, probably somewhere in the middle. My second language is something else ;)
Lots and lots of promises! Fanime is almost here! ;D Man I can't wait, I got to get packing.

Aww, sad face. Well, some of us want to have a meet up everyday, but we are waiting for the schedule to be released to actually determine a time/location. You should check back with us often for updates, I'm sure there will be plenty of them. :)

Probably not, since he has only post twice since creating his profile.
All I know is that if this whole meet up thing turns out well, I am going to plan for another one for next year and I will be the OP. Haha

if you do, I'll be the second poster, cause I have a gut feeling this WILL turnout to be awesome. I just hope our intended dinner won't be too pricey. Cause I do have to take the light rail back to the SJ Airport Garden hotel ;D

I hate having to deal with those people! It happens so much to me, I don't get why they have to get all dramatic over something so small. Ifs its missing a pickle they will yell scream and throw a hissy fit! Man working at a fast food place has made me appreicate people who work at them not. I mean i wasn't all rude and stuff but now I am so much more elegant with the workers now.

That would be awesome just in case something comes up! Thank you so much!!!
Cause I have heard many stories on how taxies are so expensive and with my luggage I can't ride light rail. And I would have gotten so lost trying to find my stop on the light rail; I am directional challenged.... So yeah the Taxi would have been my only choice.

Hey, not a problem. I like to help out when I can. Now that you got my FB, you can message me anytime about the ride if something comes up.
Thanks so much! And if anything comes I will let you know on FB; I'll talk to Imagine as well when it gets closer. Sense I know every airport has Wifi and I can get on my computer when I land.
I know I should sleep but I can't. I have got work and cosplays stuff to work on I need my energy but I just can't sleep!
@Elizabeth

You should at least try and sleep. You don't want to be dragging your feet in the morning, cause that's no fun.

Well, work I still gotta do, but thankfully I haven't had to deal the the burden of school for a couple of years now :D
Playing games to pass the time is nott a good idea!!! I just stayed up all night playing random games now I'm functioning on 3 hours of sleep and 3 espresso shots with a 15 hour busy day ahead of meeee >.< I feel like I'm gonna die tonight!
Btw I wonder if the servers for d3 is crashing cause I know eu had issues with it. I'm thinking bout playing Tera instead :)
Btw btw! i might bring another person along with me! It's a girl.
Last and not least I also wish I could play games to pass the time but 2 jobs and going to school over units, it's like killing me when I fit my games in -_- lol can't wait for fanime to relaaaxxxx!!!!

Woooo less than 10 days! Btw, feel free to add me on fb everyone. The link is on my forum profile. My real name is Pramodh, but if that looks hard to pronounce, you can call me Mode. Like mean, median, mode lol. It's a nickname that's somehow stuck with me for the past 10 years. :P

There's great places just down the street from the con! I'd list a bunch here, but my phone battery is running low, haha.
Pretty stoked to meet all of you. :)
Thats a good question, what to eat?..
Well it has to be a place where they can fit 6+ people at a table. The only thing that comes to mind is a pizza place. There are two that I know that are about two blocks away.
Argh...... two weeks away and no schedule...argh.
I guss can put my fb link somewhere. I hardly use it. Its just collecting dust.
@princesskitty I agree, thats why I just buy them or have it comissined. But that does get pricy.
I am fine with anything really so I have the only prefence is something really good!
Part of me wants to suggest Iguanas on 3rd street (maybe stay for the Open Mike thing)
But I dunno.
Iguanas with LaVics orange sauce.
There's also Flames or Johnny Rocket's if folks feel like spending a buck or two extra for a sit down place ;)
i dont think johnny rockets is a good place to meet. Flames is a bit far. I like Iguana's with La Vics sauce! Somewhere with an easier walking distance. It's a bit of a hassle to drive around during fanime weekend imo.
I heard Flames was good but somone said it was a bit far...
And what is orange sauce?
Quote from: Haunterluvcookies on May 16, 2012, 02:31:33 AM

It's a taco/burrito sauce from a place called La Victoria. It's a bit spicy but it tastes great on just about anything.
Is that the burrito place with like no seating? >_> and last time I went was a bit dirty.. if were talking about the same place..
....so no drinks? =/

Probably? They get really busy at all hours of the day. Your lucky if you get a seat. I know me and my friends, when we use to go all the time, would get burritos from there and then cross the street to Pizza My Heart and get drinks from there, so that way we can say we are paying costumers, and then enjoy our burritos on their chairs. Ah memories... haha

I wrote down some places other people have recommended in the past. Lots of the places have been listed; I have also heard of the Kebab Shack and pizza my heart. However, there was this one place near I think safeway, like had something to do with German something. I don't know if it was in the name or what.

Hmm, don't know that one. I guess I will have to look it up. Personally, I am against Pizza My Heart, their pizza is among the worst I have ever had, my opinion.
Heck, if everyone would rather have it, we can just order some pizza from somewhere and either have it delivered or picked up? Say a dozen pizza's or something? lol
Theres a indian place next to the dinner..thought it was pretty good
Never had indian food but I want something new, good and diffrent. I wish I could be of more help but I am not from the area and my memory from last year is bad.
I've never had Indian before either, so I'm willing to try it.
Its always good to try something new. I think its a healty habit to indulge in.

Well as much as I like to try different foods, I prefer to try them in the comfort of my own house. I rather not let my roomies experience it as well... :o
Any ways.... I find this site helpful for us to find a place to chow down..

omg! i dunno why i havent thought of this before! Lets go to San Pedro Square Market. I think that's what the building is called. But inside its similar to like a food court, only the food is way better than food court foods! There's tons of different types of food to choose in there and it's open seating as well! There's also a few bars in there for the people who'd like to drink ;)

Just as a note, since you brought it up to begin with, San Pedro Square is farther than Flames. I mean, both are 3-5 blocks so "far" is kindof an overstatement, but if distance is an issue for Flames it would probably be an issue for San Pedro, too ;)
And its gonna be a night. We got to think of what might close early and what dosen't if we can't deciede than we could be stuck with fast food.

just my little tidbit in this conversation about dinner choices <3
I willing to try new things... so don't count it out. I just never really liked fish when I was little but I eat a lot more fish now then I ever have.
there's a small japanese place right behind the McD's across the street from it that I know of instantly. It looks like a house but you go inside and it serves cheap but good/tasty meals. Only bummer is no refills :C
EDIT: can we have a FB link recount so I can add those who I missed. I'd like to be fair and add everyone who shared theres.
umm haunter... are you tiffany?

Maybe Kane64 could edit and repost the link whenever the attendance list is updated?
why don't someone that is in the FB group start a message thread? It'll be organized and easier to see each link

I'll join the FB group, but I won't add anyone until after I've met them in real life.

and even if i do add them and then end up never meeting them..then i delete them XD hahah oh well
to be honest I am not very social on FB to ask how your days are daily so if you guys want, after fanime you can delete me. I won't take any offense and personally, cause I'll just see yall again next year lol
WHOA it grew while I was gone!
So any concret sugestions on food? Or are we counting how many people are going right now.
Yeah everyone was adding/finding people on fb... Just adding to the confusion.
So far no one seem to set on a certain place to eat.
Just to add to the madness my face-thingy (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002621801058)

omg! i dunno why i havent thought of this before! Lets go to San Pedro Square Market
Well I was thinking of that too. Seems like there is always a crowd around, but there is a bunch of food shops, and its not that far. About 3-4 blocks. But then again there is a ton of restaurants with in 3-4 blocks.
How good is Pizza Chicago? any of the locals try it? Most of the times I'm in San Jose I always seem to pass by never eaten there, smells good though.

Same here. All the info is here, why add more.
But really.....no schedule yet? and I though AX was bad on dragging its feet. I guess they use the same planning staff.
Sorry if I seem a bit ticked, my AX roomies bailed on me. Oh well, here's to plan b.
I kinda get the feeling that people will split off into groups kindof based on where they want to go for foods, so we might just end up with... sub-groups, I guess you could say?
From experience, I can honestly say that it's hard to get people to commit to one place or another even if they're adamant about making it there, so probably the best plan is to just see who shows up and where folks want to go without worrying too much about a reservation-y place.
I'm for anything as long its not expensive, unless you guys are ok with whatever I contribute to foot the bill. I don't mean to sound cheap, but I'm really low on cash.
This is kind of off topic buutttt Its so crazy how basically all the hotel rooms are sold out! It's gonna be crazy busy! So exciitteedddd :)

I'm also on a budget. Too bad none of us have like a suite or something so we could just all order/bring food and just chill and eat :/

what imagine said was right, theres no way that a group of our size is gonna stay together for that long
but it would be nice for everyone to initially get together, split up for food, then maybe come back together to hang out

unfortunately they're usually pretty late with the schedule as far as individual things go
some of the bigger things (karaoke, ball, dance, speed dating, panels) are already out
but smaller details all have to wait
supposedly they'll have a schedule out by monday

is it that bad that I want like steak or something for thursday dinner... but i am up for the sushi bar for friday.
Are there even any decent sushi bars around downtown? Actually curious as I haven't managed to track one down yet.
Also, for people who want to keep their costs down, shushi bar maaaaay not be the way to go :D
there is. I forgot the name of it, just after downtown. Walking takes about 20 mins but its a all you can eat bar. You pay once then eat til you drop dead lol
we should like list three places that are realtivly cheap and vote on them.... thats my suggestion.

I like the idea of a max budget. Also does the sushi bar sell more than sushi?

most sushi places also have bento boxes which gives you choices of teriyaki chicken with tempura and etc
YAY! Thats good, I will try sushi and mabye get a bento box... always wanted one. So is under 25 a good budget? I don't know how much places down there cost so I am just shooting a number. We have to decide soon cause we have like 6 days before we meet up...
we shall storm into that sushi place and claim it ours. FOR FANIMEEEEEEEEE! lol I will go there on my own time too if the group rejects this idea cause I actually WANT to be all out typical otaku this year :) but where ever the group dines I shall be there lol
We can also hit up a cafe later in the weekend if you guys are up to it.
I want to be OTAKU CRAZY as well. So I am fine with claiming this sushi bar and any other place far fanime! Otaku crazyness at its best!

I am so glad you can come!!!!! Now were just trying to decide were to eat on thursday and friday...
I don't mean to hijack your guys' thread and all, but if you're looking for somewhere to eat on Thursday night, my group will be taking light rail into Mountain View to eat at Pho Garden. The main attraction will be 3 of us attempting to conquer the Pho Garden Challenge, a bowl of pho with 2 pounds of noodle and 2 pounds of meat. I know it isn't Japanese, but just because it's Fanime doesn't mean you have to be super-J-crazy the whole weekend.
Just thought I'd put it out there...

Okay! Got it!
Well if anyone's interested in joining us, PM me for my number. I don't know what time we'll be getting on light rail since we're gonna wait in line to get our badges. And I don't know if we're gonna be meeting up at the Fairmont or just heading on over after we get our badges. So yea, PM me if you're interested and I'll give you my number to text.
The more, the merrier. Especially when huge bowls of pho, along with the inevitable regret and projectile vomit are involved. I, however, plan on winning the challenge and taking the bowl home!
Hoestly I have no idea what a pho bowl is...
@#$%&*! No schedule yet....
@kpmonkeygirl welcome back I kind if wondered what happened to most of the prevoius posters.
Anywho..I shall cast a nay on sushi, I'm not much of fish guy. It really seems like San Pedro Square is a perfect spot for us. Seems like they have a bit of everything.
Everyone enjoy your weekend last chace to make a mad scramble to buy last minute things. I know I am.

Dear Gawd!! I have missed so much thanks to my finals... what happened!?
Yeah I want to finish but its looking bad for this costume.... I think I am scraping it, but I don't want to. T.T

Glad to hear it. So what are you having troubles with on your costume?
Well I am making it out of foam and foam is a pain. But I am new at aromor making so its the only thing I can use. I guess mainly its the 3D parts of the costume that is the biggest pain. We, meaning my roomate, can't figure out what to use other than clay to make the 3D pieces. T.T

I hate when my hair shows, so I got a method that works for my thick hair. I usally take a shower, flattens my hair, tie itup in a lose pony tail, pt the wig cap on, put wig on and tuck in loose strand. That works for me but the only thing that slips for me is the wig cap after awhile.
I guess its because I have really soft hair.. >x> I might just be a really short haired sango ...- coughs- >_> just dye my hair x'D
My friend has thin soft hair and its hard for her to get all of it underneath the wig to. Mines alot thicker so I can do a bit more to it. sorry, :P
It's alright means I wont be that into my cosplay x'D which is alright with me.. funny that my hairs too short for sango but too long for nana xD
I hate that. my hair is always to long or wild for any non wig cosplays but my hair is perfect for cosplays involing blue or white hair. I will not dye my hair white... it sucks!
holy crap. 5 more freakin days til I get to make fun of everybody haha just kidding. I'm looking forward to this coming weekend and seeing hell of kick ass cosplays
Quote from: echoshadow on May 18, 2012, 11:31:44 PM
Hoestly I have no idea what a pho bowl is...
It's a Vietnamese noodle soup. Rice noodles, different cuts of beef, broth, some onions... Served with lemon or lime, bean sprouts, basil and jalapeños on the side. Like I said, it isn't Japanese, but just because you're at Fanime, doesn't mean you need to be all J'd-out the whole weekend.
Also, Pho Garden served other foods, like rice plates and egg rolls.
@royjovero: you do know that fanime's purpose is to BE all j-'d out cause its a weekend to release yourself from life and enjoy your hobby, so why not be all j-'d out? :p

I'm not going to go too far with this, but Fanime is a celebration of anime, cosplay, manga, and other Japanese pop culture. If this is the only time of the year where you indulge in sushi, green tea Kit-Kats, and ramune, then so be it.
I simply extended an open offer to invite people to join my group for dinner on Thursday. Yea, we're not eating Japanese food, but so what? People go to Fanime to be J'd-out and still end up eating at McDonald's, Jack in the Box, La Vic's, Iguana's, etc. I've also noticed a lot of forum-goers going to Quickly and Hydration, which happen to be Taiwanese establishments, despite the fact that they do serve Japanese-style nomz.
So before I go off too far into left field, I hope you guys have a good time together and hopefully y'all figure out where to eat. My invitation is still open, so PM me if you want my number and details about Pho Garden.

Is there any place to get dim sum?

There are a few dim sum sit down restaurants that have it in San Jose, but none I really recommend.

I recommend going to Cupertino or this place called Saigon Hong Kong Seafood for dim sum. Be warned! Some restaurants in Cupertino and the Saigon place have long lines!
San Jose doesn't seem to really have a large Chinese center for good dim sum places >.>
Also, I, too, signed up for speed dating, though only for Friday night's, person I'm attending the con with is dragging me there ;)
I'm new to fanimecon, so was thinking of volunteering and meeting new people.
How does Thursday work?
I read there is a long line for people getting the ticket? When does ticket get pass out? When is a good time to go get tickets?

on thursday morning it's like Black Friday campers so DONT go there in the morning! It's just setting up/looking for your friends/people to meet up before the busy friday - saturday - sunday con hours. Perfect time would be thursday around late afternoon or evening to get your badge within 2 hours. The time would be typically 4-8pm to get your badge that you have pre-registered for, otherwise you have to go on friday to get it at-door.

Yeah, you'd have to go to Santa Clara and Cupertino for that, which is technically still San Jose.
Fanime actually used to be held at the Santa Clara convention center from 2000 to 2003.
Umm I am have been away awhile... did we finally decide on a place to eat. And did I miss anything? and 4 days.... OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I AM SO EXCITED I JUST CAN'T WAIT...

Nope, still haven't picked a place to eat yet.
Personally, I don't think we will all be able to pick a place that everyone will be happy with, so I am thinking that I am just going to get some food on my own before the meet up and be snacking on it at the meet up spot.
usually plans never go accordingly beforehand so I bet during the actual hangout we'll all be able to agree upon a place. Now if only there was a shopping center that only consists of restaurants...haha
As I said before, most likely the group will split into several pieces of people going to various places :P
Awws! that sucks if we all split up because ill be getting there late :(.

Probably. Good luck with that.
Ahh 4 days and the schedule needs to come oh already!!! >:(
So will make plans when we actually meet up? I guess that sounds good.
I guess that may happen. Well I plan on getting there around 3:00 so I might do some scouting for lunch and dinner.
Maybe by tomarrow the schedule will be up. I'm getting tired of repeting that.
Otherwise only 3 days of work. Oh yeah.. ;)
I had another dream of fanime last night. I was looking for my camera and I cosplayers were every where. Man I wish it was here! Wait its almost here.
So whats happening? I haven't check this thread for a long time, can someone keep me updated? Is there a spot that everyone is going to meet at? If so, what time? Oh yea, I made a video of my cosplays for fanime on my youtube channel. So if you want to see who I look like, just click on my signature.

Yes, a lot of us are meeting up on Thursday at 8pm in the Marriott second floor, looking over the convention centers main entrance. From there, we will most likely go to get some food somewhere... where that is, we don't exactly know yet. Feel free to join us.

Just so you know, chances are that if everyone ends up splitting up and going off to different places, I will most likely still be in the area. What time were you thinking you would be showing up at?
Also, just so everyone else knows, I will probably be having two other people with me on the meet up on Thursday. Kind of a last minute change in their plans is allowing them to show up earlier then expected.
Here is the current update for the meet up on Thursday/Friday. If anyone knows of anyone else that said they are going, or if you would like to go as well, then let me know via quote or PM.

so is anyone up for a late night raid of faime. What I mean is like wandering around fanime at like 3 in the morning?
I know angel beats. It's only 1 season though cause they never picked up on it. I loved how hinada and yui kinda flirted by beating each other senseless lol kind of reminds me of me and this girl I know haha

Lol, I do this every year! This is the first year I actually have a hotel room to crash in. I'd usually be slumming it for 4 days straight, haha. When I absolutely needed to, I'd nap in a dark screening room, haha. I'd take the lightrail home around 4 or 5am when nothing interesting was going on, to shower and come back.
Last year I felt my age catching up with me and couldn't stay up for two days straight, so I crashed at a hotel room my friends the Pokemon Men were staying in.

I just watched the first episode of Angel Beats! I am so hooked.
I never done the whole 3 in the morning this but I want to this year. I always had a facination with 3 in the mornig or like what people were doing at places that stayed open all night like Walmart. I hae alway been facinated by that.
That is one thing I want to do most!

Heh, the Anime I used for my AMV (which is getting shown during the con!) is actually Angel Beats :D
As for the 3am wanderings, I did that a few years ago where I spent the entire night at the con just hopping in and out of the video rooms. Was pretty fun, though by the morning I was dead tired and falling asleep while watching Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, so I'm not sure if I'm going to do that again. We'll see though.

without the schedule there is no way to tell
and unfortunately, if what echo said is true and the schedules dont come out until the day of...then friday's meeting is probably scratched
echo: did u mean day 0 or day 1?
I ment day 0 thats when they hand out the book with all the events and programing and hopefully the schedule.
Well for friday it seems everyone is going to be up late so why dont we go ahead and plan something for 10:30-ish?
Well I don't know about you all, but I was still planning to post on here, even on Thursday and Friday, to try and plan for the meet up on Friday itself, thanks to the delay of the schedule.
^^ I'm looking for some people maybe down to drink and party up the weekend. (Obviously 21 or older for drinking), I have some other friends along with me not staying in my room. So I'd like to find another lonely soul so who would want to hang out at the wee hours or go to the Rave! I'll be cosplaying as Princess Peach this year.

Well, we will start with introductions, then chat for a bit, find out what everyone is going to do at the con and such while we wait for the stragglers to make it to the meet up spot, then some people are probably going to go get some food, other might get some drinks.

Sounds good to me. I know one thing I am doing on Saturday, with no fail, is going to the Gaia panel. Anyone else going to that?
derp.
Ignore me, but uh, I'll be going to the Gaia panel too. Just Saturday though.

Yep, and hopefully we can plan out meet times for the rest of the con, so we can actually hang out during the con.
to be honest I'm not sure if friday is a good day to hang out again. sunday is perfect cause its the last official con day so not many of us will be distracted by cosplays/gatherings/events. I know I will be on friday so I'm pretty sure I'll be missing friday's hangout if we do that :(
Hetalia gathering anyone? so an obssessed Hetalia fan here! ;D

Speeddating on Friday is from 8pm to 10pm, so if there are people who are interested in going, perhaps we should schedule around that?

karaoke contest is also on friday from 6-9:30/10-ish
if i make it into finals then i cant go until after that
if not..then anytime after 9 is fine wit me :D
I think for Friday, after 10pm would be the best thing.

i agree with after 10 on friday. I love planes so I can't wait for my flight... ;D
I'm gonna go ahead and say after 10pm will work for me as well, but my availability is predicated on there being no event/panel/screening that I'm interested in, running at that time. Of course, I can only check this once the schedule is released.
How about 10pm at the Karaoke Room?
like the idea but were is the karoke room?
Hi, my name is Derick and I just found out about this and would like to join for Day 0/ Thursday night if possible!

so are there things on friday that ppl wanna do..?
on friday we can possibly treat them to the same place we ate on thursday night? Seems fair if we agree upon one place to eat on thursday night to let the friday people enjoy what we did. Othwerwise a cheap near by fast food joint would be convenient depending on how many do show up on friday
Well, just by looking over the events on Friday, I say every one has plans from 6:00 till 10:00. So.. the late meets ups would be after 10:00
But, I'm pretty much open to hang out from the morning till 8:00.
Hows about a Lunch meet up on Friday?

im down to hang BEFORE 5 but ill be warming up for the contest on and off
someone just decide something and ill see if i can show up :D
I'm heading to the Pokemon Men panel, lunch inbetween, and then Manime2. So I can hang after 4...
Late night works best for me on Friday, though.
Uh oh.
There's a bunch of stuff Sunday night lasting into Monday morning I wanna watch.
I might be in trouble here >_<
Friday early is a no go for me! Got gatherings and such to do... I will be free after 8 pm. 10 pm works for me.
im gonna be super busy before 4 and then theres a 9pm panel i wanna go to on friday. I'm pretty good for 10 and after for like an hour or 2 or anytime between 4 and 9. Haven't checked out the anime schedule though.... but for saturday ill be prettyyy busyyy until like maybe after musicfest! sunday i have most of my day open :)
same here for me, I'll be out and about all day friday till night time. I'm going to be in between panels, events and gatherings until 8:30-9pm. Then I'm down to do whatever we wanna do after!
looks like friday for after 10 works for most ppl
does that sound about right?
just packed like a week worth of clothes... >_> completely over packing x'D
Friday after 10 works for me! Ideally I'd like to meet in the karaoke room (there are CHAIRS), since once the contest ends, open mic starts! I'd like to squeeze in a song before people start gathering and we all head out somewhere.
kane64!! wat do u think?
friday at 10 in the karaoke room?
we can figure out wat to do later
but does that seem like a good place and time to meet
even if the time works out, where else could we meet up since everything else is taken
the karaoke room sounds perfect cuz its a general area that everyone knows
and for me personally, ill probably already be there XD
Ahh! Sorry you guys a change of plans for mee. Ill be free after 11 now sorry! :(
Friday karaoke room around 10:00pm sounds awesome. Seats are a great idea for waiting for people.
If the karaoke room is open all night for other days why not we make it our late night meet up spot?

it is open all nights but they have the gong show and the acoustikaraoke show too, altho im not sure on which days they're at
even if we can't be inside the room, the aisle outside of the room is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and ive seen groups gather there before
it'll be fine

I know I am doing the same! I hope my luggage isn't over 50 pounds or I will get charged! If I could pack lighter I would but my bag contains maily my costumes and I even have a box! :P I think i am so oever doing it but fanime is worth it! :D
If there's people meeting up later on Friday I might go as well, but as it stands I'm either in the speed-dating or (and what I'd be sad if I missed) I'd be going to the awesome bad jmusic videos panel, both which start at 8 and going 'till 9:30-10.

Yea..I got like three fifteenth pairs of shoes and clothes for rave and what not I got so excited when I found my boots this morning I was like yay! I'm prob doing a gothic theme one day..I managed to talk my manager into getting tommorrow. Off but I'm still unsure if I want to go the first day plus I don't drive.. x.x

Sounds like a good way to go. 10pm in the karaoke room for the Friday meet up.
I think the time thing would work out fine, but if the location seems to be a problem for some people, we can figure out another location, but I think this one would be fine.
Just for a reminder,
Thursday meet up, aka today:
8pm~Second floor of the Marriott where the panels occur
Friday meet up:
10pm~Karaoke room, near the film rooms
As for the other days, still up in the air, but most likely the same as Fridays, karaoke room around 10pm.

Thursday badge pickup is for pre-reg only and the line is currently capped. We will do our very best to get through everyone currently in line.
Once again we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Met some of you last night. Too bad I had to leave for the Swap Meet.
Might see you again tonight though :)

Welcome to con life :D
In my first convention years, I remember I seldom slept more than 6 hours over the entire duration of the con. I don't even know how I had the stamina back then, haha.
Omg! Are registration is closed?!
I'm so sad.... yesterday my group leader couldn't get it cause he had work and the lines were super down and today we tried but he got off work late. This fanime i feel is so sad for me :(

That sucks. Yeah this year seems really unorganized for some reason. Mostly thanks to that power outage.
Ok everyone the group is all here, we are waitng for any late people
Hii! Are we meeting sat?
Was that you guys waiting outside the door around 1050ish. One guy was cosplaying something in red ?
Well, on Thursday I ended up being in the pre-reg line 'till 11 pm, and yesterday I was watching stuff 'till late. Same will go for next couple of days, too, so it looks like meeting from my end won't be happening... perhaps next year!

Yea, that was probably me lol I was cosplaying in red. I couldn't make it on Saturday at 10:00 p.m. because I went home to get a few things and stayed home to sleep :/
I'm guessing that there are no more meet ups since the con is almost over. A shame that I didn't get to meet all of you. :(
I just like to give everyone that showed up a big Thanks and high 5. I'm glad to have meet you guys even if it was just for a few hours, it felt like we known each other for ages.
For those that did/could not make it, let's try again next year.
Hopefully next time we won't have problems on day 0 and the schedule could come out earlier. That should give us more time to actually plan a proper meet up.
Till next time. See you at Fanime 2013.

Indeed. I know in the next few months I will probably be setting up a new meet up thread. So remember to look for it so we can meet up again at Fanime 2013.
It would be nice to have random meet ups if possible but i think some of us live a bit far away.

I do what I can.
I think that this time we can come up with a better location and time for next year too. Dinner is a nice idea, but I know not everyone wanted to do that. I say we do more of something like a formal meet and just talk to each other and then decide if we want to drinks, food or whatever else.
And I hope that next year I wont have to be babying a friend and driving her all over the south bay just because she decided at the last minute to dress up and ship it all to my place. LoL
it was actually a total bummer this year for meeting you guys. I was being dragged left and right by my roomies cause she had to get this or see that, he had to find me to get change for AA and blah blah sorry guys :C I go to fanime every year so next year FOR SURE I'll be there! No roomies or girlys are gonna stop this guy ;D
Yay! We will all meet up next year!!! I hoping to have no problems... on day 0

Me too. And I hope my friends figure out what they want to do too so I am not stuck with them the whole time.
Well, I created a thread for next year's meet up. Feel free to join it. :)
