I've never heard of Bawls though.....I haven't seen it sold anywhere around the Bay Area, I don't think ^^;

It's hard to find.. I haven't found a place that sells it in the bay yet.. It sucks cuz it's about the only energy drink I'll ever really drink >.>

Keep on the look out for a root beer bottle that's blue (sometimes white for their sugar free one.. ew...) with white lettering. If you find it, let me know.. Need to know where to get that stuff when I'm in the bay ^_^

They've done GTO Live action.. It came out before the anime in 1998. Because it was so popular, the anime was made in 2000...

On another note, playing FF last night made me realize that it would be cool to see that in the flesh... I'm trying to imagine Advent Chilren, but I'm failing miserably...

We're tackling that issue currently..

Would you guys actually be interested in their reps doing a panel?

Though, we haven't thought of an actual bar..

Stop giving me ideas that give me more ideas! I'll be armed and dangerous!  :twisted:   :lol:

I'd kind of like to see Beck in the flesh. Thanks to that one, I was introduced to the world of j-rock.. *drool*

Here's the article by Sarah Ho

Here's the article that mentions Fanime

Sugoi ne?

Anime:

Bleach
Planetes

Though I've been watching more j-drama then anime at the moment.. It seems I'm obsessed with any one with Kimura Takuya in it :-$

It's not an event for the convention, but a sponsorship opportunity. FanimeCon could sponsor the San Jose Grand Prix in some way (although I know that it not the target audience). Taylor Woodrow, the title sponsor for the 2005 race, is now the presenting sponsor. So the race next year is currently called "San Jose Grand Prix presented by Taylor Woodrow". It's just a dream I had last night (too much turkey, I think), but it may be possible for the race to be called "FanimeCon Grand Prix of San Jose".

I'm crazy, I know.

Ha, somebody who is thinking like us (the marketing dept)... Kowaii! Just kidding.

I'd like to see Fanime become more involved with the community in events that are not necessarily anime related because I think it is important to give back to the community who hosts our crazy con. For example, Fanime was one of the sponsors for a Hurricane Katrina Relief Concert in San Jose at the end of October. So far, the events I've done personally are small (or not so small) anime events in and around the bay area. However, I'm looking for events, not necessarily related to anime, where if Fanime made a contribution in some way then it would make a difference.

So, the point of this post is: Let us know about events like the Grand Prix. There are tons of ways of letting us know like posting in the forums (I read quite a bit of them), emailing us at [email protected], coming to the meetings to let us know in person, or if you should recognize one of us on the street...  :shock:


That post about the scavenger hunt, I'll forward it off to Stamp Rally. It would up their alley, as they're already trying to get you guys to go find stamps for prizes in and outside the con.

Fear not my friends, for Stage Zero will blow you away.

Oh my... That is so true.

It's been 5 minutes of sitting here, typing, deleting, more typing, and more deleting. There are at least 100 reasons why that's true, but I can't seem to even type one up good enough to explain why.

Hm...

I think I've heard that idea before.. I just can't remember for the life of me whether it was in a staff meeting or just in passing with some friends...  :?

Let's see what do I promise to do....

1. To get some sleep.
2. To turn my cell off when I sleep so Con-Ops can't call me.
3. To answer every call of Con-Ops's with "Hello Con-Ops, How may I help you?" in the most phony customer service voice anyone has ever heard.
3. Not tear holes in the convention center carpet by speed walking and wishing that I had one of the mobies (the cool carts my bosses get >.<)
4. Eat.
5. Drink water
6. Remember that I am a fan too.. So, enjoy the Con, dammit!... aka not working 22/5.
7. Wear a kimono again.
8. Actually remembering these promises.

:D
