I believe construction will be finished this fall, according to the official San Jose website (http://www.sanjose.org/content/san-jose-convention-center-expansion-and-renovation-opening-fall-2013). MercuryNews.com also had an article about it. Some people are saying next year, but this is incorrect from what I've read. Just wanted to throw that out there for people who are concerned about that.

Construction or not, I'm unsure if I will be returning to Fanime after the mess it was this year.

i hope it come backs to san jose its great there. i mean it was packed this year but half the con was closed off. i mean next year its gunna have an added 125,000 total sq.ft of new space according that link.  i just think fanime need to stay in the bay area it the only one really. i mean there some small one but fanime is the best even if this year was wishy washy

Doug Walker, aka the Nostalgia Critic. He loves to do cons and I've read he's an excellent guest.

I second this. I've seconded this for many years. Make it happen.

Third'd this suggestion

yes yes! 4th this!!! he always looks like he is having a good time with the guest too.

yeah maybe make it later X_X next year just an idea cus my sister also missed it cus of how early >W< but that is just my feed back

O_O''' sadly i did not make due to it being too early in the morning 10:30 on a sunday...not soo good when you wake till 6.30 am O_O''

hope you all had fun can wait to see the picture of u all!

:D

see you next year

Seems to be a tiny gathering this year! Though sometimes that's kind of nice.
My boyfriend and I will more than likely be there as Seras (red or regular uniform from OVA, no sure yet) and Pip.

>>> i know you!! your my sis huh!!!?

cant wait to see you all hellsings!! this little Schrödinger will be there ^w^

[BUT,]

I had a good GREAT Time. I think they needed to work on some things but nothing that really ruined the con for me.

show times where a little odd to much early anime showings so it was hard to wake up Sat to watch them.

also another problem(told to me) I heard was the late update of the No modern military I think less people would been mad if that was issued before the con since people already bought there cosplays at that point.

Of course  a lot of nice nice staffers as always never in 7 years had rover problems so another year clean here.
only had one problem where a staffer grabbed my boyfriend trying to go though a yellow tapper door since he had to catch his brother from leaving without his cell phone I don't know the rules but i am pretty sure they do not have the right to grab at you...BUT, on a good note when my boyfriend was done  misusing the door -_-;;. He said sorry and told he had catch him and the Person and i think they said sorry too and explained why it was not an enter/exit door.

Even with the more hiccups then 2010 i thought but you know the con people are only human and they'll do it better next year. It was my boyfriend and his brother 1st year and even with the hiccups they had a blast!!! didn't even notice and i even got them to preregister for next year so that was good.

i herd from a staff if was a publications  error is why there was no schedules and such so i hope next year they do not go though company again haha also i was thinking a App for smartphone would be cool i used the 3er party condroyd one this year and it was great even had 15 min reminder it would be cool to make that put on the program info and have paper ones as an option too. 

[also]

I was annoyed with schedules . it was a publications error i heard though no fault but the printer people.
I wish the colorful programs that had info on the events also had the time  what the panels where. it always had been  to see be like oh that sound fun....what time is it??
I think fanime should make a Free official a simple Smart Phone App for it. I downloaded the 3rd Party Condroyd for 2011 Just to see what was going on since the schedule issue. It was a very cool app I could star what I wanted to go to and then if reminded me 15 mins or hour  before hand.  So id they made one for next year and announce it around the con i think it would be a hit!!So an official one would do great!!

i am making a Schrödinger cosply ^^ i really want be part of the gathering they are soooo fun!
the only gathering i have is soul eater an is at Saturday. 12:30. a lot gatherings this year on sat i hear
