What about the theme, all I get from the front page is that the theme for 2015 is going to be furries.  If it is... i wonder how clockwork alchemy is going to incorporate furries into their con.

BUMP!

I played on both Friday and Saturday (the handcuffed girl lol), and it was so much fun! I loved participating in the games and meeting new people at my first con. Thank you so much for organizing, and I can't wait for the videos/photos! :D

Congrats on your first con, I hope that I helped in you having an exciting time.  The album has a few pics of the event and all he video that was taken.

^lol sorry you got stuck with my loud BS :P

Hope I gave you stupid footage of me yelling for advertisements next year lol

Nah, I had fun.  True that it was chaotic but still lots of fun.  I will be planning better next year and hope I get to see everybody once again. 

Here is a link for the facebooks https://www.facebook.com/edgar.pina.796 if you want to add me.  Also we did a small project with a lot of other cosplayers after Running Man, maybe we can do something like this next time around.  http://youtu.be/pHysdT3hXRo

Once again, thanks for everybody that showed up and I'll see you guys again in FANIMECON 2015.

I don't know if it goes here or not, but here goes.

Here's a link to a small project I did with a lot of cosplayers to the happy tone of... "happy" by pharell. enjoy.

Here's my contribution to this thread.  It's got Cosplay, sexy Cosplay, trolling Cosplay and all other forms of killing 4 minutes of your day with the catchy tune of Pharrell's "Happy".  Enjoy.

Big shout outs to all that attended to the event on Friday night and Saturday morning!  I can honestly say that I was shocked on the amount of people that showed up and I felt really bad when there wasn't enough sitting or when in all honesty I stumbled through the games.

But thanks to the team I had (which they really helped me out) we pulled it off, I am all in your guys' debt.  I also want to say thanks for those that participated and helped me through the event.  This was a newbie running it and I am going to try and run it once again, but this time I'll be a bit more prepared and will do something about the games as well as the overflow of people.

I will be putting up pics and video of the event soon so check this forum once in a while for it.

I dont see y not.  Outside its a public area so were not under rover supervision.  As far as the hide n seek game I want to do it on saturday in the early afternoon.   The games are all going to happen inside the valley room in the fairmont.

Not if u don't want to.  Theres a con happening!!!! So go ahead and enjoy it.

[We will be having the games inside the Valley Room in the Fairmont hotel on Friday 23, between the hours of 6-8.]

LAST UPDATE before the con!!

We will be having the games inside the Valley Room in the Fairmont hotel on Friday 23, between the hours of 6-8.  The Valley Room is located between Panels 3 and Panels 4 on the second floor of the Fairmont Hotel.

On Saturday the 24th we'll be having the hide and seek game outside on the Cesar Chavez park.  Name tags will be mandatory for this event but we'll give you a chance to earn one during the games on Friday, but keep in mind that there is a limited amount of nametags that I can provide.

So stop by, have some fun, rip some name tags and possible win some prizes.

hello all, am i late to register for the party?  if not then count me in =]

new update with times and revised game list!!!!  possible nametags available!!!

new update!! We have a time and date for this event now, it is currently scheduled to held on Friday early evening from 6-8pm.  That's two hours people!! Now I gotta think of more games to play.  As far as the hide and seek game I still want to have it on Saturday early afternoon, what do you guys think?  what time would it work for those that are going to participate?  let me know! in the poll http://goo.gl/FtohH1

Btw I updated the first entry laying out the way I wanna run the event.  Please read. Thank you.

@egrrr - that's why I said him/her, cause I didn't want to assume anything. But alright, if the nametags are needed for the last game, I suppose I can try to figure something out. Do you have a back up plan in case not everyone can get them?

Too bad we don't have the "thief cards".
I saw them on the site and wanted to get them, but were sold out.
Maybe they'll come back some time soon.

As far as name tags, they will be needed and I just posted how it's a requirement for the hide and seek game.  I do not have a back up plan for them at the moment, but I don't expect people to buy them off the website if they don't have the  funds or the time it takes for them to get here.  I would be more impressed if people made their own.  And the thief cards would've been great to play with, but they've been unavailable since February (when i found out about the site). 

Yea, the standard black and white are the ones I got.  The shipping is $20 so just to give u a heads up. 

I'm sure it'll be fine since egrrr is doing his/her best to get it set up.
It's why I was wondering myself on it.

I'm curious though....are shirts or something with name tags going to be required?
Otherwise the name tag ripping event may not be a viable option if not everyone is properly 'equipped' so to speak.
Just asking out of curiosity.

I hope to have the games finalized this weekend, I have some free time and I'll be dedicating it to complete the games we can play during FANIME.  I'm a dude Motoko, but i have a small group of people helping me plan out the games.  As far as the shirts or nametags I won't be providing either.  I bought my tags from this website - http://shopbeefcake.myshopify.com/  I put my order last month and I received it in two weeks, they are shipping from Singapore so if you're thinking of ordering I suggest do it now.

There are some Youtube DIY videos on how to make your own, if you wanna go for it.  The tags will be required to do the last game.  One of the reasons I don't provide them is because I don't know the amount of people that are going to attend and those that will participate, plus I don't know the size people are and the names they'll want.

Well Fanime is in around 30 days ^^ ;;

I understand it's in less than a month and with that, I've only received vague information form Fanime about the room, thus I haven't said anything because I want to have all the information before posting anything.  When Fanime gets back to me I'll post it. 

This is still in the process of finalizing and I'll update this as soon as I get a time or date about the room.  As far as the games goes, I'm also finalizing a list of the games we can play inside the room and around the con.

Well, I just got off my lazy bum and started the entire process, the form has been submitted to Fanime for a Fan Event.  Hopefully we'll get an approval soon.  We'll let everyone know what we know when we know it.

As far as the event itself I was thinking a small gathering of (hopefully) 2 teams of 7, we'll have the Djakki game, Rock paper scissors and whatever other games we can play that follow Fanime's guidelines (in which I'm still researching).  The object of the games is to declare a winner/winners that will have an advantage for the last game which is a Nametag ripping game outside the con area if people are comfortable enough to do it.  Losers will get vague clues and winners will get a pic or a detailed message via Snapchat.  I want to make a Nametag a requirement for those that want to play the last game, we are trying to come up with a prize or prizes for those that win.

We will have our own name tags that we got through shopbeefcake.myshopify.com and NO I am not affiliated with this website, this was the best one I found on the internet.  There are a few vids on Youtube on how to make your own, but if you're lazy like me, just buy 'em.

I am always happy to hear suggestions as to what games people want to play, keeping in mind that this is just a small group of fans running this joint.

I have no idea if the grass field is gone now.  These pics were taken about a month ago and I haven't been back to San Jose to take an update.  I'll definitely will try to go back once fanime has it's website up and see if there's an added change to the civic center.
