Schedule has been posted on the main Fanime page.  ;D

I also added everyone else that has posted, but I added ? by your names since you weren't sure if this was happening.

That time slot should be fine. Hopefully see everyone there!

8 investigators? I've never been able to get more than 3 people into a game--most of the time, I end up going solo. That would take forever.

Yeah it definitely takes time. Also it is a tougher game to win because it takes less portals to summon the bad guy and monsters appear two at a time because there are more that 4 players.

If you could, I'd really like to try out the Dunwitch Horror, although I've heard some good thing about Kingsport as well (I've always wanted to play the Dreamwalker, although I'm not sure he's actually any good). IIRC, King in Yellow, Curse of The Dark Pharaoh, and Black Goat of the Woods, are only extra cards and rules, right?

I can bring Dunwich, it is one of the board expansion sets, and I haven't broken that set in yet. And yes King, Curse, and Black Goat are just card and creature expansions. They also add in unique rules as well.

Wow, this is really taking off. The more the merrier!

Just let me know when. I am glad to teach new players.

Last time I played an Arkham Horror game with the Kingsport expansion with 8 people we couldn't finish the game in 3 1/2 hours. Everyone had played the basic set and just had to learn the rules for the expansion.

I have most the expansions except for Innsmouth Horror and the The Lurker at the Threshold. I would be happy to bring one or two of them. Available to bring would be:

The Dunwich Horror
Curse of the Dark Pharaoh
The King in Yellow
Kingsport Horror
Black Goat of the Woods

They can easily be added to your set and taken back out as they have special symbols to differentiate them so you can sort them back out. Though I might bring my own base set just in case.

As long as the game doesn't interfere with the concerts I should most likely have the time and would love to play.

Rodney_Pheonix: I notice in your signature that you are doing a wastelander costume from Fallout. What day were you planning on wearing it? I have a vault 101 costume that I am planning on wearing Sunday. Would be cool to get a couple of pictures together.

No worries if you don't get the trivia done. Real life gets in the way of our fantasy ones. ;) Just getting some pictures with everyone will be cool. So the plan is Saturday at 12:00 ish in the game room?

Finished my Jayne cosplay. No Vera however. I did find a decent looking toy pistol (western revolver) that meets the Fanime Weapons policy requirements and have rigged a holster for it. I will get it peace bonded on Saturday.

I would like one again this year. Thanks again for doing this!

Ok, so I didn't go last year because I had no motivation and seeing that line ... OTL.
Anyways...I was wondering along with paying with the registration do you have to pay for the concert tickets as well?
And did they have an autograph session last year? OO:

Registration is the only cost,  the concerts are included in that price. And they did in fact hold an autograph session for Halko last year. She also did a couple panels.

Ok, due to a lack of funds, I won't be able to make this.  :(

I just moved and I am still trying to catch up with all my bills.

Looks like it would sell well again this year as they just announced Momoi is coming again on the Fanime Twitter site.

I could make this. My calendar is free all three Saturdays as of right now.

Ok it looks like I will be trying for a Jayne cosplay this year. Let us know when you have a day/time. I will be there!

Steampink costume I put together for a steampunk dance at GenCon.


And my new hand knitted Jayne hat.


Thinking about cosplaying as Jayne from Firefly/Serenity this year at Fanime. I know it's not anime but it is fun.

I will be there both days. Makes a nice weekend get away for me.

Just a follow up. I emailed Housing and requested Thursday and Monday night at the Marriott and they let me know that I was on the waiting list. Now, just 2 days after that, I have the nights I wanted. So a big thank you to Housing for their prompt response and quick resolution.

Sometimes I am at a loss why Fanime even has a web page... it is never updated in a timely matter (this is not just about housing but in general and has been this way for several years). I have been checking the housing link for weeks now and even checked it earlier today and it still points to last years housing page.  You even have a twitter account which I am subscribed to. Nothing.

Luckily I stopped by the forums tonight and saw the topic.

And on the topic of Thursday check ins and Tuesday check outs, I have done this for at least the last 4 year at the Marriott, and yet every year I have to email housing to special request it. Usually I can get a Fri to Tues or a Thurs to Mon on the reservation system at least, but this time I couldn't get either. I don't know why this is so hard to get. I know I am not the only one who does this. And I know the hotel wants my money.

Ok I am now off to email housing so I can see if I can get the days I want.

There is also a video of how they were selected to have their wedding \o/ It was a contest c: they are such huge gundam fans

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pubRkAmpBwU&feature=player_embedded

Wow yeah they were definitely big fans. O.o they had been to see the gundam statue 10 times... 

The video was cool though, you can really see how big it is. Thanks Kazuko!

Here is the article. You can click on the wedding collage to see all the wedding photos.

Ugh... that would not be good. I haven't read the manga but I have looked over a couple of character and plot summaries and there is way to much story too get finished in 25 episodes. Hopefully it does well in Japan and gets a second season.

I like all three of the priests, Frau, Castor and Labrador. I am looking forward to find out more about them. Teito is also a great character. Thankfully he is not the whiny type. Hakuren is turning out to be a good friend to Teito and I like their developement.

Being sick yesterday meant I was lying around the house and decided to watch the first episode of 07-Ghost. That lead to some quick bittorenting and I then proceeded to watch it up to the current episode 16. I like the dark under tones and with just a little humor thrown in.  Anyone else?
