Hi everyone!
Now that we're less than a week away from Fanime, I wanted to give a reminder about the gathering location. It seems like every year there there are people that have some trouble getting to the G5 location. We've had several people show up on inside the window during the gathering unsure of how to get outside!
I believe the only way outside from the first floor is through the Hilton cafe right next to the location. However we are NOT allowed to go through there. Please do not count on using that door since it will probably be roped off again. I suppose you could get outside by going through the second floor fire escape doors, but I ask that you please do not since last year the alarm was going off every time the doors were opened and it's very noisy and annoying. :(
Probably the best way to get there is by walking around outside: https://68.media.tumblr.com/f85e1d1ee798d2380ffee0370f96a97b/tumblr_o5b2vjGWfL1tvidsco1_1280.png
From the main entrance area of the convention center, you can walk along the sidewalk in the direction of the Hilton until you reach the first left turn. Turn into there and all the way at the end, past the trees and up the small staircase, is the G5 location.
Please try to be on your way there early if possible so you don't need to rush. We will try to start the gathering as close as possible to 3:00pm. If you're late you may miss the first group photo and possibly your character photo. (But if you can't help being late, don't worry, we do latecomer photos!)
I hope this explanation is clear, please feel free to ask questions before the convention starts. Otherwise if you need more help, in in the past I've found the con staff at the gathering desk to be very helpful!

TLDR: Please know where the gathering is and know how to get there so you don't get lost! Also please try to be a little early if possible because we will start as close as we can to 3:00pm, otherwise you might miss the first group photo and possibly your character photo!
