Fanime falls in my birthday, I'll be 20. Me and my best friend will be cosplaying as Alice and Cheshire Cat from Madness Returns. Would be awesome if anyone would like to hang out with us. Last fanime we were sort of introverted, we want to change that. :)
Fanime falls on my birthday as well, although I will be legal drinking age, doesnt matter though. I wont mind hangin out with you if you want...
Sounds like we should have a pizza party bday/M&G for you guys. I'm sure we can get a few people in on this. What do you say?

I'm cool with this. In fact, my birthday falls on a May also. However, it's way earlier before Fanime.

I'd love that :D! I am tired of being a shy redhead, I really need new friends and I'm sure my best friend would want more too. <3
Alright!, well lets make this the official m&g/bday dinner then.
I guess the question is where and when, and what kind of pizza?

I'm not sure, this is the 2nd time I've gone to fanime, so I don't really know downtown SJ as well. Me and my friend usually prefer pepperoni though, so if others wanted a different kind we could get that.. Just not sure where :P we're total noobs lol. I had to use a navigator just to buy my friend mcdonalds while in the line of doom.
LOL, yeah you guys are total newbies. Not to worry there are dozens of places within 3-5 blocks with just about any kind of food you want.
If we do stick to pizza there two options we have. 1) walk to a local pizza place and eat there or 2) call delivery and find a place to picnic. There's a Safeway where we can get plates, cups, soda, etc.
So are you guys going to be there from day 0 to day 4?

:-[ I know, I never even knew there was a convention around here, because I actually live up in San Jose itself and not downtown. So once I heard of fanime I was like huh... Last year I went as Sesshomaru from InuYasha.
I think a picnic would be more fun, but that's just me :).
And yes, we'll be there 0-4. My best friend doesn't have finals on Fanime weekend, so we're safe to attend all days. Only problem was last year I ended up getting very sick AND was nauseated on my birthday. Was such a bad birthday lol.. I'm really hoping me bringing vitamins or something beforehand will help in case I do get sick again. Cause I don't want a crappy birthday like that especially at a place where it's supposed to be fun.
Yeah, same story with me, I was always up there for the Memorial Day weekend for years till I decided to check out downtown and I was like wut......? I only knew of AX and didn't know there was more.
Alright picnic is good. Since it's cheaper and we can all pitch in for the pizza and what not. We'll just wait and see how many people we can get to join us.
Sure sounds like a bad bday. I on the other hand tend to bring back a con cold/flu. Good idea on taking some vitamins, I'll try it hope it works for me.
There might be some of my con friends coming up from SoCal both guys and girls so I'll tell them to hang out with us. But well see if they make it up or not.

My best friend is a big anime junky every time I turn around she's watching it. As for me I like it too, but I'm very picky on what I like. I like InuYasha, Higurashi, Elfen Lied, Wolf's Rain, Rurouni Kenshin, etc... Some more. I've watched InuYasha since it first came out, and I have a collection of over 100-200 things lol :D. But as for the con last year asides from my cold and the construction, it was a blast. We were sort of lost half of the time though.
I can definitely also pitch in for the cost of pizza, I sell my polymer clay crafts for nice money. :)
As for the vitamins, there's one my family has that's just a "in case you do get sick, it'll lessen the severity of it." It actually works too, but I can't remember the name..
But anyway, I look forward to meeting you and everyone else! I'm a naturally shy person, mainly due to bullying, but me and my friend are both on the same page I think and would really like to be social and make new friends. I'm shy at first, but once I warm up to someone I make everyone laugh. xD
I've never celebrated a birthday at Fanime before but I'd be down to bring the balloons. For these things are never quite as fun without balloons ;D
Also an Alice cosplayer? Nice!
First off cool background r u ally or horde and second a birthday would be awesomeee hahaha where and when is the question

I'm horde lol, these are actually my toons named after my cats who passed away to a disease. I named my druids after them in memory. Well, me and echo were thinking of having a pizza picnic for it. xD
And balloons FTW! As for Alice yup, but I'm Cheshire. My friend would make a better alice than me lol.
Sweet I'm horde too i play boomchicken/resto druid on scilla but I haven't played in a while hahaha anyway pizza is cool wat day r u thinking well be there from Thursday till Monday so ya anyday is fine sept maybe Thursday cus a pizza bady in a long line don't sound to fun hahaha but maybe it can be hahahaha

Any day is fine with me too, and I sure hope the line won't be as bad. Me and my friend wouldn't of minded it much if we didn't have to wait in line 2+ hours BEFORE this line. :( Over 9 hours of line standing, when we got home we just crashed so hard lol
Ya I sell at the swapmeet so I didn't get mine till Friday but my friends were in the 9hr line
How does Friday sound? If I remember most of the big events started around 7:00pm so we can aim for some time from 2:00-6:00? make it a late lunch early dinner deal. Then again not sure what events/plans are people going to attend or not. But I guess we can work that out when it's days before Fanime. Another possibility was Thursday given the track record it's not happening. Unless everyone is a night owl and had nothing better to do.
You remind me of my very first days at a con, I didn't really meet or spoke to any one. I was a bit overwhelm by it all. Until I read up a M&G on one of the forums and decided why not? Everyone was chill, and soon I was invited to some room party's more M&Gs, meet lots of people that are now good friends of mine.
Anyway another good way to meet people is the dance lessons and the B&W ball. Your really can't go with out saying anything, it does make you a bit more social even if you don't want to.

Friday works, and lol I'm a total night owl. I have insomnia bad, but I think we'll be there way before 2pm on Friday. It's only a 15 minute drive or so. :)
I thought of doing the B&W ball and dance lessons, although I'm awful at it... There's a lot of things I want to drag my friend into. Some of them she was underage for last year. >.< Really, I'd be up for anything that allows me to be social. I don't have many friends in Real Life, and all I do ATM is make polymer clay crafts for money. So I'm sort of introverted most of the time haha.
Ya Friday is good for us too we should be out of the line by then I hope. The black and white ball is so fun hahaha I can dance to save my life but I skiped the lessons and went anyway and I had sooo much fun
Cool, I guess we can do something Thursday late night, hopefully some time before the restaurants close. Hopefully everyone should get their badge by 9-10pm.
Differently do some dance lessons and go to the B&W ball. The first 2 years I didn't set foot at the B&W because I didn't know what the deal was. Oh how I regret it now.
Underage? The only stuff that had an age limit was.......... Oh....... I see ;)

I want to check out all of Fanime's events :).
And haha what, speed dating? We're single and wanted to meet people... Except she was 17 at the time >:(
We can't make it on tursday. :( we'll be selling in the swapmeet
If I may make a suggestion, you can have a bunch of people go eat at Pizza My Heart, since it's just down the street. I think its soda machine is pretty neat- it's one of those touch-screens that have a bunch of options aside of the normal sodas...
Where did you guys plan on having a picnic? 'cuz the only place I can think of is the park.

Pizza my heart sounds like a good idea. So would we get it to go and picnic somewhere else
This will be my second Fanime as well. I would be delighted to join you. I'm also a bit of a homebody, at least when I'm not 'acting'. I spent a lot of last year reading, at least when there weren't any panels. I'm going to be cosplaying either Hayate (Hayate the Combat Butler), America (Hetalia), or Han Jee-Han (The Gamer). I haven't decided which to do which days.

Awesome! You'll see us as Cheshire Cat & Alice from Madness Returns. Except I'll have black hair and not red.
It would be awesome if both you can join us Ko-ton and Sivartius. The more the better. And we can always hang out during the con.
If are planing order to go, there are better pizza places than piazza my heart. But we don't have to worry about that any time soon.
@mookiebear, ah! Totally thinking of some other event. Yeah speed dating is hard to get in to, I've been trying for the last 4 yeas but it fills up fast, well at lest for the males. They can always use more females.

I'm just excited to be able to meet you all hopefully at fanime. I thought of doing charms for you guys as a gift. Just need to know of what if anyone would like them. Just can't do characters atm lol. So far I've made pokeballs, pokemon, teapots, etc.
I think it should be the other way around, lol. But you don't have to go our of your way to do something for us, but if you want too, that would be cool too.
Ya we should make/get u gifts hahaha not the other way around.
Ps. (Cough) Pokemon charm (cough) jk hahahahaha

We r doing a pokemon cosplay group this year at fanime hahaha
Hey guys. Sorry for not posting. I haven't been feeling too good and I'm trying to get my orders done. :p
That sucks hope u feel better.
No worries there is plenty of time for planing. Hope everyone feeling better, seems like everyone is getting hit by this cold bug. All of my co workers, and my family got it. I'm just getting over it myself.

I more or less felt awful because my ex friend whom is about 5 years older was bullying me. So I felt really stressed and anxiety ridden. But it's ok now, I just ignore it with my crafts. I got my first official Etsy order yesterday :)
Hey does it cost anything to sell stuff on etsy. I wanted to put some stuff up but didn't know if u had to pay or something
Hey I will celebrate with you! There should definitely be a thing for all the people who have birthdays near or during Fanime.
Hell yes :) Would love to celebrate with you.
I'm a fanime first timer, hoping to hang with some people during the thing cuz I'm going alone ;A;

Well you can for sure hang out with us!! It's our 2nd time, so we're still noobies. Where have we officially made as our meeting spot guys?
Awesome more people, that's great.
@mindnightkumkio are you coming for the weekend or all 4 days?
As for the meet up location..? Good question. I haven't given it much though. I'll have to look at the new convention map. There's a few new things now.
I'd be game I as well as a friend, and hopefully my brother will be at famine to celebrate our birthdays.
Can I also celebrate with you? this will be my first famine? As well as well as my birthday month and my friends that my come down with me, if so is their anything that I can do to make your b'day awesome?
Can I join up? I'm also interested in meeting people and not being so introverted. Also this is my first anime and I'm going alone so it really would be nice to hang with people!
I'll be cosplaying Red Queen from Alice too! I hope I run into you in costume! Depending on when/what we're doing I might change out of it by then however...
Sure the more the better.
As for the location, how about the Hilton 2nd floor where they have those sofas to the side of the elevators. Seems like a good spot?
Hey everyone, sorry for not replying. I look forward to hanging out with you all.
:)
No worries. We all been busy.
Less than 5 more weeks I guess we can get the ball rolling faster. I still need to buy stuff for Fanime.
Pizza party for the birthday girl?! :-)
Yep, that's the plan.
It's also for people that are new to the con or just want to meet new friends and hang out for a bit.
My brother and I will celebrate with you. My brother's birthday also follows on the Fanime weekend, he'll be turning 18.
That sounds like fun!! Eating pizza whike cosplaying!! Just not pizza my heart, pizza no bueno.
I am SO psyched for Fanime haha!! 20th anniversary for Fanime and my 20th birthday :P. What's the odds, also can't wait to cosplay as Cheshire Cat... If anyone wants to get to know me more as a friend before we all meet up, please throw me a PM. :D
Woh. Lots of brith days that week. Hope you can make it.
Yeah, pizza my heart is ok, but there are better ones out there. I can order delivery from other places if that's what everyone can agree.
I'll send you a pm later tonight with my FB.
Chesire cat! Im a cat person :-)
I forgot to ask may I join?
I might be down
So did everyone deside on a place to meet up yet. Echoshadow suggested a good spot which is the hilton second floor. Another ok spot, if u still wanted it to be more of a picnic, would be that park with the fountians across the street.
Honestly I'm down for any place. You guys know the area better than I do, so whichever has been suggested and liked by us is fine with me. And of course to everyone who wants to join in, yes you can!
The more the merrier.
Any place is fine I only said that spot because I don't went to wait outside. Once everyone is there then we can all move to the park and eat. Or not depends if everyone is ready. I may need some help bring the stuff over to the park.
So let's see, I counted about 17 possibles and about 6 from SoCal that I invited. Of course that will change. What else... Oh does everyone have access to these fourms during Fanime? Or should we make a Facebook event page? Just thinking what's the easy and fasts way to update the info or what nots.
If anyone else wants my FB/number just pm me. I'm not shy about that stuff.

I think that's a wonderful idea TBH!! How about we all agree to one spot and timing, and I'll make the event myself if you guys find it a great idea too???
I think the event page is a great idea. How about for now we just put down in the hilton on X day at Y time. then we can change it later on once we find out alittle more wat peoples schedules r gonna look like
I made it everyone! Please join my event on Facebook, and let me know if the time I have set works for you. It's subject to change, so let me know and I will figure something out with you all. ^^
https://www.facebook.com/events/444318992379833
Looks good to me.
Hopefully the schedule would come out at lest a week early this year, but most likely not. Either I don't thing there was anything major going on mid day on Friday.
I WILL. :)
This sounds like fun. I may have to join you guys.
unfortunetly I don't have facebook anymore so I am not really able to see the facebook site so if someone would be kind enough to keep me posted.

Sure just check back often when it's close to the day.
Well let's get down to business. What do we need?
Food
Napkins
Drinks
Plates
Cups
Etc....
Anything else?
Not that I can think of I think you pertty much listed all the things we need. So who would like to bring what?
I can cover for two pizzas. If there are more people that show up, then we can chip in for the rest.
Thanks echoshadow
Hey guys, what's the address for the hotel we are meeting in? My friend would like to join and needs the address.
I have no idea but its connected to the convention center if that helps at all.
It's

Thank you very much buddy =D.
Alright. Like I posted in the FB event link,
I want to get a head count on who can make it. That would give me an idea how many pizzas we need. Hope too meet you guys soon.
hi
can i join ?
this is going to be my first time at fanimeCon and i dont really want to be alone :( , it will be great if i can meet and make new friends :P
Yes, of corse. Make sure to add your self to the FB event link a few posts back.
What kinds of toppings do you guys like? I'm estimating about 4 pizzas should be enough. Should we go for,
1. Pepperoni
2. Classic combination
3. Cheese
4. Speciality (Hawaiian, veggie, BBQ chicken, etc)
Would that please everyone?
Ah, I forgot to mention from where.
I plan to order from Pizza Jack's, but if the majority wants from some where else that's fine too.

In public. We're gonna meet up in the hiltons lobby
Hi there,
I do not have a Facebook, but still wanted to join you b-day party!
The more the better.
Just a few things I wanted to add. If everyone can chip in $2 for the remainder of the pizza cost we'll be covered.
Also since the schedule is not out yet, but from the looks of things 2:00 is fine by me. Once the schedule comes out we may need to tweak the time a bit. But hopefully not that much, if any.
if i'm there on friday, im down to go. the more the merrier! hope to see y'all there!
I know I'm jumping onto this train late, but is there a meet and greet going on sometime Thursday?
I'm in the same boat as the few posters above me, late to the party but would like to come! I don't have a facebook so I can't sign up for it. I also wouldn't mind pitching in for the pizza. Either way a Happy birthday to you op!
i'm down with chipping in btw here's the link for the fanime guide http://www.fanime.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/FanimeProgramGuide2014_WEB.pdf (http://www.fanime.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/FanimeProgramGuide2014_WEB.pdf)
and here's the pocket guide http://www.fanime.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/2014pocketguide_WEB.pdf
Now that the schedule is up how does 2:00 work for everyone?
2:00 works for me, but I think 1:00 would be better.
It sucks we have only hours to plan the time, but either way 2:00 can work for me.
Just want to hear some opinions.
It's been a long time since I last logged in but if there's room for one more I would like to come. Already celebrated two birthdays this month, lets make it three. I'm also willing to chip in some money for pizza and 2 o'clock works for me

Always room for more people! Just look for me as Cheshire Cat lol, I'm the birthday girl. xD
The place that I was going order the pizza from does not deliver. So, that leaves us with the traditional pizza delivery stores, Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Round Table.
Round table is pricy but if you guys want it I'll have to get one topping pizzas.
What do you guys want?
Edit.. I forgot about Mountain Mikes pizza, so that's where I'll be ordering from. Its a lot better than the other chain stores.
