Nope. :D

Does anyone have any of the Shugo Chara or Soul Eater gatherings? :D

Anyone have any from the Shugo Chara or Soul Eater Gatherings? :D

Bahhhh. I had so much fun. Can't wait until next year! <3  Now post your pictures! :D

To keep the processing time to a minimum, please have gov't issued photo ID. I can make a student ID with a $500 card printer and photoshop a passport "copy". We are expecting long lines and great numbers. Please streamline the process by complying with our requirements.

Sounds good. :D

It should work I mean if school IDs work then it should... don't you have a school ID, or less important forum of identification? 

Oh.  I have a school ID. I thought I read somewhere that you couldn't use that. ._.

For picking up my badge (I preregistered), do I need to bring my actual passport?- Or can i bring a picture/copy/scanned image of it?  My dad's not comfortable with bringing my passport. ^^;

Thanks.

We can spam them. XD

FAIL. XD

6 more dayss~! (5 if you come on day 0.)

It's TRUEEE! I'm so excited. >8D
Unfortunately, there are still some random tests to make it through the week beforehand. =_=

Tests, projects, homework. Fun stuff right there.  3 MORE DAYSSSSS. ;DDDDDD

First time at Fanime, and the last convention I went to was my first. It was super tiny (AOD in San Fran) and didn't have a ball.

So my two questions:


For the most part, I'm a sneakers/bare foot type of girl, but my mom and I came across a pair of heels that were comfortable and pretty easy to wear, and she urged me to get them. We also bought a pair of flats. I'm planning to wear the heels, but if I end up being super uncomfortable in the heels, I was wondering if I could change out into the flats? As in leave the dance and come back? I assume this would be fine, but I'm making sure in advance. P:


And also, the schedule makes the b&w ball sound uber formal. I understand a good part of it with be for waltz, foxtrot, tango dances, but will some/most of it be dance music?- Or is it all formal? :O

Thank yew. C:

Hello C,

Welcome to FanimeCon.  I hope that you have a great time this upcoming weekend.  As for your questions, the heels and flats are fine.  So no worries there.  The Black and White Ball is a semi-formal event and there is a dress code for things.  You can find that at http://www.fanime.com/events/black-and-white-ball/ 

In regards to the music, we are trying to keep it close to the themes of anime music, video game music, and j-pop music.  There are some songs on there that are upbeat.  You will find a mix of music there.  For example from last year's BWBall we had music from Cowboy Beebop, Final Fantasy, Disney, EXILE, Hikaru Utada, and such.  All the music that we picked out can be done to various ballroom dances such as the Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Rumba, Cha Cha, Salsa, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Hustle, and Nite-Club two step.  And some of the music comes from stuff you may hear on the radio.

I hope that helps. If you need anything else let me know.

I know about the dress code, I was just wondering if we're allowed to leave the dance, and then re-enter?

We should have the entire dance party ballroom be a bounce house.

I second this.

No ma'am.

Geez, there are so many Agito/Akitos. XD BUT IT'S OKAY.
We need more people, seriously.

I say we need to tell everyone Air Gear cosplayer we see and tell em to go to the AG gathering on Sunday, 11:30 pm ;D And Minty, I'm changing to Ume since my friend will be Mikan...and she wants me to go as Ume. So set me down as Ume instead.

Alrighty. :D!

I shall be coming as Simca The Swallow  :D
Can't wait to see everyone!

Me too! This will be a blast. I'm excited 'cause this is my first Fanime. (Second convention all together, and I'm setting up a gathering. I believe the saying is something along the lines of 'digging my own grave'? xD)

I'm going to try to come to this gathering as Ringo.

kk!

I'm going to go as Akito as well, but idk if I can stay for it because of a panel I am helping out with around 12pm... :/

Is there anyway for it to be changed earlier like at least 11am??

I may be able to if more people request for the time to change. :x

Looks like I'll be Agito! So yes :] Put me down as Agito.

kk.  c:

I'll be going as Simca this year, and I'll have an Agito with me :]
Can't wait~

Got'cha. :D

Sounds awesome! <3

I'm new to Fanime, so I have a few questions about registration..

-I'm being driven down from sf to sj by my dad, and my friend is coming along also. I have a pre-reg, and reading over the FAQ on the Fanime registration, it stated that I have to have a valid, state-issued I.D. I'm 14, but I do have a passport I can bring for proof that I'm.. me. But what I also read was that I need a parent, or person over 18, to come along with me to register? I have my dad, but he isn't going to be registered. Is that ok?


-Because of school, I can't come to Fanime until the evening of Friday. What are the times of picking up badges for that day; will I be able to pick it up around 5-6:00-ish?

Thanks. :B

[The time of day in which I post the question will be random.]

Alright, so I'm done with stressful exams so let's start the game. For the next week or so I'm going to post a question each day and the first person to answer correctly in the thread will receive a point. The time of day in which I post the question will be random. A tie breaker question will be posted if at the end a tie results. Today's question will be a bonus:

Name one thing special about April 20th.  ;D 2 points to whoever can tell me the special thing related to danboard that happened today.

...But happy 100th post. :D
