Dearest Fanime con goers, please help me with a dilemma. For the past 4 years I have stayed in 3 different hotel rooms. Crown Plaza, Marriot, and Hilton. I no longer go to cons alone, but my roommates tend to be pretty nitpicky when it comes to hotels. Staying at the Hilton has been crossed out, due to some of my friends having respiratory problems from their poor air ventilation. Don't remember much from my experience at Crown Plaza, except the rooms being kinda small so that's out too.

Which leaves Marriot and Fairmont.This year, I was thinking about staying at the Fairmont hotel. The reasons; because it's roomier. Also the B&W Ball is there, so we can get an early place in line. The downside is that it's a few blocks away from the main convention, which requires some walking even at night. Hence, why I try to reserve for Marriot and Hilton because they're directly connected to the con. But the walking isn't that big of a deal, so long as we stick with a buddy system. Our stay at the Marriot was okay, but there have been some issues concerning their deposit policy. Not to mention how expensive it can be, and the lack of room for our stuff. But whenever we were exhausted and needed to dump our things, it was always there.

So if any of you have stayed at both of these hotels, give me a little feedback.

Hirooka Naoto! Since he just recently opened up a store in SF, it would be a great importunity for him to promote his fashion brand.

Kaya!

Depending on the date, I can be there as Twilight Sparkle along with a group of friends cosplaying the rest of the girls.

Count me in as Harry!

Still hoping for Versailles.

I may come as 2nd costume Oichi. Depends on my budget.

Thank you!  I think at the very end after the Encore, he was singing a Michael Jackson song (please correct me if I'm wrong).  Does anyone happen to remember which song it was and whether or not he released a cover of it?

The song was "Rock with You". I'm not sure if he made a cover.

I was really impressed this year. Some of the sessions from a few years ago were pretty strict, but this year they weren't so high strung. Not sure if it's Fanime's doing or the management of the guest of honor. The line moved really fast too.

Most of the time we cooked something in our crockpot during our stay in the hotel room or just made sandwiches. But when we went out House of Pizza most definitely by far. It is now a tradition for us to go there once a year for Fanime. For breakfast I liked the buffet in the Hilton. Those potatoes were awesome and filling. Also liked this ice cream popsicle they were selling in the Dealer's Hall. It tasted like real melon <3

Thanks for attending everyone. Despite being disorganized we still had quite a bit of fun. Sadly this will be my last year as head of the KHR gathering as I'm retiring from running gatherings for a while. Hopefully the next person who runs it will do a much better job than me.

I was dressed as Scanty from Panty and Stocking on Friday.

Yoshiki is a LEGEND, i can't believe he's actually coming to the con. It's like a dream come true!!!!

I would love to join on Friday. I'll take the black queen side, just lead the way since I'm kind of a noob at chess.

My Alois cosplay is complete! And it's the trap version too. :D

Ugh, I just came back from the blood bank today. If you have small veins like I do, drawing blood is not a fun experience. I had to get stuck in both arms since the usual good vein in my left was sluggishly flowing out blood. It took almost an hour to fill the whole bag. D:

It helps if you tell them this before hand so they can use a smaller needle on you. Blah, never again. >_<

BTW, when exactly is the scheduling for the blood bank?

Hooray! A Shimon cosplayer! I'll put you down.
