mmm I'm thinking about signing up this year. (never knew about it last year :/ )

But the problem is... I'm deaf so i would need to use papers that i will bring with me to be able to communicate.

would that cause any problem in some way? In my experience, many girls are understanding about it.

But my question is this... what are the rules of speed dating? is notebook allowed?

I personally wouldn't object to it ^^ but sometimes people surprise you and know some ASL
I don't think it would be a big deal though ^_^

on another note: I'll prolly be going if this event is happening again, last year I couldn't because I was almost chained to my Artist Alley table for most of the con :(

as for age ranges 18-24 and 25-30 then 30-50 and 50+ depending on how many people sign up maybe combine some of the age groups or split them up, like if there's alot of 18-24 make it 18-20 and 21-24
or something ^^
this would definately help make fanime fun I think... not that I went last year >>  ... but still fun!

last year ....

1. what the deal is for fanime weekend
we got the Queen bed (2 person room) from thursday night till tuesday morning
88$ per night  at the Marriott
I tried to change the reservation once i knew we would have 4 people not just 2, but all the rooms were booked as you can imagine, so they upgraded us to a Queen bed which fit 3 people comfortably, and the marriott staff were really nice to bring us a rollaway bed too! so we all slept in a bed ^^

2. how much did a hotel room cost you
    440$ total split between me, my sister, a friend, and her friend
     so 110$ each plus we carpooled up so that was split also 12.50$ per night for the valet, although I feel bad that I kept forgetting to tip the vallet >>

3. how many people you stayed with
   3 people ^^ 4 people total no floor sleepers

4. how early you reserved your room.
    like a week after it went up I think
5. (and maybe if your up for it) funny stories about your hotel room? :3
  umm well we were all abjd collectors except for my sister, who's used to dolls anyways because of me, so we had lots of fun in the room getting the dolls out, making them cosplay or just having fun with them and having someone to go with to the doll-meets ^^ especially since they were in the marriott lobby just downstairs ^^

copied from 2010 thread ^_^
post away!

I will be in the artist alley this year for the first time so come check me out!

for some reason I remember Ive always paid like 19$ a night for parking in the marriot garage and now I know that vallet will be cheaper 12.50 even if I have to tip so I'm doing that this year, also parking at the hotel you are sleeping at makes it so much nicer!! when I went to Dollectable in 2008 (it was in downtown SF) it was a big hassle when we parked just a couple blocks away, we had to haul all our luggage all the way to the hotel and it was a hassle to get out when we left, we had to wait at the garage entrance for the person to get there to let us in! so after that I definately think that the convienence of parking in the hotel is worth the extra money, especially when they just add it to your hotel bill ^^

I'm staying thursday-tuesday this year because I want to go to the japanese gardens and shopping and stuff also thursday check in is nice you know you aren't missing anything ^^ the time they start doing pre-reg to get your badge is 5pm and since I take a while to settle in to the hotel and I never get up early enough to be there much before 2pm I usually don't have time to see san-jose but this year I will ^^ check in time for the hotel is offically 3pm but they usually let you check in if you're an hour or so early on thursday:)
have fun!! :)

are we doing another dinner/gathering this year? :)
