Anime schedule was weird. Absolutely everything interesting was shown in the early morning (like 8 am or earlier). I realize that's my preference and whatnot, but yeah... that was strange. We actually ended up watching NO anime (at the con) this year due to weird scheduling. Watched anime instead in our hotel room.
Bishie bingo attendees don't know wtf a chair is for, i.e.: you SIT in it so that people BEHIND YOU can SEE. If you're a 6' guy, why the fuck do you need to stand on a chair? Also they created a fire hazard by rushing the center aisle. Everyone was standing on a chair, which made seeing the front impossible. Ended up yanking a chair off the end and dragging it to the side aisle because I couldn't see a damn thing. It would help if the strippers had a stage to stand on. They did this one year; I'm not sure why they stopped.
IAWTC. Our group barely saw anything because most of what we wanted to see was waaaay early. But yeah, I guess that's just a preference thing and not really something that can be changed.
We ended up sitting in the way back during Yaoi Bingo and yeah, we couldn't see any of the action because of so many people standing. I'd never attended before, and found the whole thing rather weird. The announcer lady seemed very harried and kind of mean to attendees, and since we couldn't see anything it kind of eliminated the whole point of attending in the first place.

From the sounds f it, not to many people are happy with the Marriot, but more so with the Hilton. I want to hear more feed back on the Sainte Claire. It was great overall...just a bit iffy about staying at a renovated hotel come next year. I have seen some of the horrors that can happen at a hotel that was recently renovated. I wonder when the Hilton is going to decide to go through with the renovation.

Yeah for the reg staff!
I'm hoping there are some similar boxes around with the progams in them?
I don't think you'll have to worry about the program guides this year.

Alright, since it does seem theres some interest here, anyone know where I would go to contanct someone from Fanime, to ask about something for next year? I would really like to see a yuri room for people who dont want to (or cant) see the 18+ movies.

Personally, I would like to see some 18+ yaoi and yuri. The last convention I went to had a yaoi showing and it was lame. A cute story, but oh so lame for there was no real action, just heavy hints..
Hence why I wonder where all of these people who insist " OMG11! It's not fair!! Theres SOO much yaoi EVERYWHERE and NO yuri!!1" have been living that they've never seen any AXE/TAG, Girls gone wild/sports/bottled water/Copic marker/billboards/magazine/radio show/ general media advertisement, and OH YEA ANIME and the majority of the merchandise/advertising of the booths at anime conventions.
What the hell do you want? Live hardcore lesbian action in publci everwheyre you go ( not like where far off) ..and don't answer.
You can go anywhere and find girl on girl action but oh noes! I have the knowledge's that yaoi which I could easily ignore is in my general vicinity one weekend a year. it's not fair that I should have to have knowledge of it's existance!!
The REASON why the yuri is 18+ and the yaoi isnt, is because the so called 'yaoi' is only shonen ai which tends to be just childish, suggesting and innuendoes. ( Kyoh Kara Maoh, or whatever the hell it's called, anyone?
As far as it being 'unfair your a minor, that's he rules. Deal.
I didn't think he was implying that, to be honest. But uh... anyways, the only reason why yaoi/BL has more of a variety shown in terms of rating is because yaoi is more popular and on higher demand at anime conventions. They're not all 'cutesy' and 'childish'-- it's just that the more popular series that are shown tend to be that way. Personally, I have no taste for Yaoi, but I've seen many titles that are lighthearted and those that are very serious and MANLY. With lesbian anime, they have less of a variety, but a variety nonetheless.
Here are a few series I can think off the top of my head with PG lesbianism: Mariasama ga Miteru, Kannazuki no Miko, Mai-Hime/Otome, Kashimashi, Blue Drop, Strawberry Panic, El Cazador de la Bruja, Girl's Life, Simoun, Steel Angel Kurumi, Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito, blah blah blah.
They're all okay for underaged people to watch, legally. Yuri rooms are barely being managed though. They're not nearly as organized in comparison to the Yaoi showings. They basically just ask someone, "Hey. Can you take care of the Yuri room? No one else is doing it." and that's that. I don't really care, though- I'm not attending either. But uh, hopefully that helps someone amirite.

First, the person you quoted is not a minor and can see 18+ yaoi/yuri if they wanted to. Second, the OP (who is not the person you quoted) asked to be able to see 13+ yuri, which is a perfectly valid request if there's 13+/18+ yaoi nights and only 18+ yuri nights.Quote from: MikoChika on May 07, 2008, 12:50:52 PM

I know they are not a minor. I was quoting them because I agree with them because all the 'yaoi' that is shown is usually stupid and cutsey. Aside from that, it was a general rant. Not really pointed at anyone in particular.

Kanazuki no Miko Is also Yuri and has no nudity. I think that oen would actually be a very good one to show that the under aged fans could watch. It's even better then Kashimashi in my opinion. But that may just becuase there's mecha and fighting and mikos in it. ^^
