I would love to see ZZ come back again, I saw them perform in 2007 and they were awesome!

Whatever it is, Head & Shoulders is the answer.  ;D

Wow someone is ovely sensitive an defensive about their sports genre multi-players... I'd like to see a UT3 or COD4 tourney, hell I'd enter a COD4 tourney. Prolly gey my ( ! ) handed to me but I'd still enter.

I'm not going to the San Jose performance but I do have tickets to the Oakland / Paramount Theater performance on the 21st. I managed to score 2 first row balcony seats, the view is going to be amazing!

Jpop artist, Utada Hikaru http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utada_Hikaru I just want to see if she is as smexy IRL as she is in her videos. Besides my friend Ricky would fly all the way back from Cal Poly if she was performing.

Utada?

I has 2 Tatoo   :)

[Nothing Is New]

This news is old.... it's happened before somewhere else too..... It's expected to happen sometimes.....

/agree

Nothing Is New

Nothing is new
Under the sun;
Into the sea
The waters run;
Back they are brought
Unto their sources,
Only again
To run their courses.
 
Thought, as well,
Never is new;
Thoughts of our own
Are but a review
Of other thoughts
Of long ago,
That down through time
Like rivers flow.
 
Over and over
The waters run;
Nothing is new
Under the sun.
Over and over,
Ages through,
Thought is rehearsed,
For nothing is new.

I forget how young this board is.

wow random thread
ok here are my thoughts...

I don't blame the school for reacting as they did. With our Country's recent history of school shootings I think it is totaly appropriate to suspend the kid and inform the parents. If you have a "Death Note" book and you are writing names in it you should leave it at home. If I was a parent and my kid came home and said little johnny sitting next to him had a "Death Note" notebook and had the names of all the teachers and his classmates in it I would freak. It's a sad statement of the time we live in but school tragedies have become so common place any sign of hostility in the classroom can not be tolerated.

With that said I agree anime should not be blamed for this, but of course the media is going to blame the anime they always blame something. It's easier to say little Johnny was influenced and corrupted by this evil empire of Manga instead of saying woah why isn't this kid in therapy. People have come to believe that protecting our children means pretending that nothing is wrong and making excuses for their behavior. Too often children are not held responcible for their actions both by the parents and the authorities. If a kid steals a pair of shoes what is going to happen? The store is not going to persue them because they are afraid of being sued by the parents. If the store does catch them usually the police just releases them to the parents. If the parents don't dicipline them they just learned that they can break the law and get away with it.

The best way to prevent a kid from picking up a gun and either hurting themselves or others is to put a gun in their hands at a young age. Teach them to respect firearms and that firearms kill. Teach them about death instead of sheltering them from it, and then instill into them a respect for life.

i would love to see initial d stage 4 if its possible. and unreal tournament 3 on the computers.

I second Unreal 3 I just got my pre-order Wedensday and that game is legit!

As a head member of the staff formerly known as Rovers The idea of an "Enrgy Drink Bar" frightens me. I Shudder at the thought of tousands of Otaku running around the con; each hopped up on 2 bawlz, 3 Red Bulls, and a Go girl... They would have to enforce a 3 drink/day limit or something maybe even make it 18 + only. Just to keep someone from drinking too much caffine and end up having heart palpitatiopns or arrhythmia. On the other hand I would love to be able to pop over to the drink bar and get my can of "Cocaine" entering my 12th consecutive hour on shift...

Nick Cage is awesomesauce!!

Excorcism of Emily Rose

I 'd love to see a 80's and 90's Post Punk / New Wave / Goth room. eg. Depeche Mode, Nosferatu, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Mephisto Walz, Corpus Delicti, Alien Sex Fiend, etc.

I'd also like to hear more Happy Hardcore / Trance / Darkcore played in the Rave.

Chocolate rain... in my pants. any one got any Immodium AD?

Freak on a leash... in my pants.    ;D

Hope this isn't a repost, I didn't read the entire thread.

Zed: Bring out the Gimp.
Maynard: But the Gimp's sleeping.
Zed: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?

I don't know if many people would be interested but Personally I'd like to see Derby Owners Club but I know that machine would probably break the con...

I'm a total newbie to cons, but as there is a large number of cosplaying (and a bunch of wonderful costumes last year), I was wondering this, if it hasn't been done already.

But perhaps a professional photography studio could be hired, and be made available somewhere in the complex, so that cosplayers or the like could get professional quality prints or pictures taken of them in their full costumes, and in groups and artistic poses and the like?

I didn't know if this was already something that was around; I didn't see it last year (my first time), so I was just throwing that out there.

I know one independent photographer who just happens to be a member of Con staff. He will be photographing the events mainly musicfest but he also does some cosplay as well. He may be available for contracted photo sessions.
