thanks for the heads up  :)

hmm, yea i e-mailed hotels@fanime several days ago but no reply yet. hopefully the info will come around soon.

Posting in the wrong thread. It should be question here: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/board,36.0.html. To answer your question, it was already started.

this thread is for regular con-goers, correct? what about hotel rooms for staffers?

Woohoo info updated. Please see above ^_^ v

We have found 2 additional roomies.

Thanks all!!

i've played a little wild arms 4, and i think it's been too long since i've played to remember tha character's name... or maybe ih aven't even been that far. not that it's a bad game, i really wanna play but i can't seem to get myself to sit down for rpgs lately.

and it shouldn't matter if people will recognize you or not... sometimes it makes good convo starters anyway. people will ask who you are and you get to explain how cool your character is. ^^  but you should cosplay whoever you want, and not just what people will recognize.

Go to Joann.com and get on their mailing list. They always have 40% off coupons around, especially during the fall and holidays ^_^.

I agree that buying something already made and altering it is good for first time cosplayers. If you have experience sewing, then find a pattern similar to your costume ^_^.

Make it comfortable enough so you can eat and breathe while in costume! (I made one of my costumes so tight, I couldn't eat anything T_T)

And have fun while you cosplay!

yuna's ultimate costume in FFX-2  :D

i make mine. i like to sew, and it gives me more experience  :D

the only thing i don't like about it is messing up  :cry: then i have to buy even more material. boooooo.

:D  i second that. they're awesome XD

you can try posting this on the Live Programming section as well. ^_^ v

anybody likes to watch k drama here!!!
i got addict to one of the korean drama
is called "im soory, i love u"
its very good!
i l\really like the singer in the story, he reminds my friend!!!!

hahahah!
they look hella alike!!!!!

i second that. love that drama....so much that all my impulse purchases all go to "i'm sorry i love you" drama, ost, and accessories XD.

Spirit, Ryu, and I were talking about chibi cosplayers before the masquerade started.  Here is a cosplay event idea.  How about a chibi cosplay gathering?  12 and under cosplayers gather.  Just think how many photographers and other cosplayers attend the gather just to see the kawaii cosplayers.

I second that. Did you see those cute little Naruto and Sakura cosplayers?! WEEEEEE!! so cute ^_______^

I am not trolling I am speaking my honest opinions.
It just so happens that some people find it offensive.
I'm not about to be some kind of Politically Correct guy for the sake of a few people who might disagree.

Say what you will but that doesn't change the fact that rap and anime don't mix.

I'm sorry but that's not a fact, that's your opinion. So please leave it at that, and don't speak for everyone.

I think it's stupid to say "to represent Fanime as a business" which is EXACTLY why that girl was made to cry!! Fanime is NOT a business...it is a CONVENTION. It's there to provide fun and service to the Fans. It should be done by those who hold a deep love not only for Anime.....but for the things that come with....such as us acting stupid....or giving people glomps. I heard from one staff member that certain other staff members "Hate people acting stupid/silly and rough housing". By rough housing I mean glomps. :evil:

You're right, Fanime isn't a business...it is a convention. But in order to run, it has to follow the rules. Those girls meant no harm when selling the bread...but they must understand that they cannot go around selling without permission or withour the right certificate.  My mom and myself used to have a stand at the Farmer's Market...and boy it' was some work getting the permit. They have laws for that because...example scenario: Let's say that people were selling muffins and baked goods. What if somehow it spoiled on the way? What if they made it in unsanitary conditions? What if someone ate it and claimed it made them sick? It would be that seller and Fanime getting into trouble...because their product was sold on Fanime's property. In order to avoid that ugly scene...Fanime does need to be strict. Not as far to make someone cry...but selling food without a permit is a BIG nono.

Fanime also provided a "Food Map" so fellow con-goers can enjoy some yummy food while having plenty of money for the Dealer's Room and etc. I had some awesome Indian food just a couple of blocks away...and a yummy burrito place not to far either. If you don't want to spend the money for convention food...I'd say do a little walking and get your money's worth. ^__________^ v

since the matter has been discussed as seen above
i think we should think about how things like this can be prevented in the future.

i personally believe and think fanimecon should be a closed event. you pay to get in and you pay to enjoy all the festivites.

most of you probably noticed, but you could enjoy practically the ENTIRE con, except for the major events, dealers room, game room and artist room.  most if not all viewing rooms and panels were un guarded by staff. except for hentai nights.  everything else was accessable to the PUBLIC.  i had people who weren't registered at the con in a viewing room asking me, what type of convention this was. O_O

The video rooms cannot check for badges because then it would be as if we we are charging people to be able to watch anime/movies. Video Programming is a free event. It is especially good because parents and grandparents go to Fanime with their children/grandchildren. Not all of them want to pay for a badge when they won't be using it, so they hang around the video rooms. I saw quite a few grandparents browsing through the Asian Film rooms and having a good time.


Even though the video rooms don't check for badges, Fanime is still worth it for its events. Dealer's room, MusicFest, Masquerade, Gaming Room, etc. So for those who got their badges, I hope you enjoyed your time at Fanime, and I hope to see you again next year!  :D

Hey, why not :D
