I was filming the Taiko Dummers during Opening Ceremonies
I was getting a ride to Fanime. (:
I was at Walgreen's picking up cough medicine@_@ Turns out I was coming down with bronchitis at the con. I'm lucky I took good care of myself there and avoided it from becoming pneumonia

No where nearly as epic as Zog's report, but none-the-less here's my day by day down to the hour blocks
Whoa what a Memorial day weekend, I needed another day to recuperate because I got sick/lost my voice on Tuesday.
I worked like crazy (12+ hour shifts again) almost like Cirque except I had WAY more fun. Guest services, line controls, Ushering, Safety & Security, Reports, Convention Operations, escort Detail, Bouncer and general Logistics and Registration duties... yah I did all that and then some.
Thanks so much for guys visiting me while I was working!!! It was really sweet of you ladies/gents to randomly finding me on random days, but the REAL parties happened Friday, Sat, and Sunday nights! Here's my recap:
Thursday:
4pm to 8pm – Pre-registration badge pick ups & line control... Busy lines (ask everyone who saw how busy I was) they tried to say hi while I was juggling random people. And I felt bad for not being able to hang out with you guys and gals. Sorry! >_<
8pm to 11pm – Fanime's Swap Meet. Its sorta like a flea market, pre registered folks are invited to sell/trade their stuff.
11pm to 2am – Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull – awesome!!!
Friday:
6am to 4pm – Registration/ An Cafe Line Control Working around the Con – randomly surprised my work with 2 HOT girls dressed up in costume with me. I have a random office thats off of Park avenue...
5pm to 7pm – Helping a friend drive to Oakland to pick up a new car! – She bought a Honda Hybrid.
8pm to 10pm – Dinner (Massive amounts of Pizza and drinks) and hanging out in the hotel room: Hot girls dancing in the window for kicks so I invited them to...
10pm to 1am – DANCE/RAVE!!! – but the HOT girls had to stop early because they were wearing high heals... ouch!
Saturday:
6am to 11am – Working around the Reg line and An Cafe Concert ticket pick up line. Mingling with cute and costumed girls is awesome
11am to 7pm – Working at our Maid Café – girls dress up as cute maids and serve you foods, mingle and role play (appropriately of course!) I was one of the Bouncers to keep pervy fanboys in check.
7pm to 10pm – Sushi with the HOT girls! All you can eat + Sake = good times.
11pm to 2am – More DANCING! Got VIP treatment (walked right passed super long line) – Girls got harassed by pervs (ask about side story if you want...), but Pervy guys got thrown out with my help and the night security Teams.
Sunday:
6am to 11am – Reg line + massive line for Concert ticket pickups (An Café) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antic_Cafe
11am to 2pm – Helping at the Maid Café
2pm – 7pm – Managing a line of 2500+ Fans of An Café.
Think about a line starting in front of Manpower's (my work office chain) Office on Park Ave. walking towards Market towards the (Tech Museum), then from Market going on to Santa Clara towards the front of the Civic Auditorium! so yah it felt like a LONG line... especially since I was trying to keep the peace of screaming rabid fangirls.
7pm – 10pm – An Café Concert @ the SJ Civic Auditorium = mass female Hysteria. Mosh pits are interesting, but I probably wouldn't do it again... unless I had riot gear.
10pm – 2am – One last nite of DANCING! – I felt like that guy in Hitch, instead of just being an 'escort' I got to dance a little with one of the Hot girls I was crushing on twas nice.
Monday:
730am to 11am – ('accidentally' slept in...) Walking around general Convention area keeping the peace.
11am to 12pm – An Café's Autograph signing to the limited general public – Seeing girls nearly faint for being 3ft. in front of their favorite band member was pretty funny. I counted at least 29 girls crying of Joy in a line about 150 fans.
12pm to 1pm – Checking out of the trashed hotel... partied like a Rockstar? Sure did.
1pm to 2pm – An Café's Q&A Panel line control... 300 Harecore fans... I made them line up via doing a Conga line. Hey it worked.
2pm to 3pm – An Café's Q&A – Fans nearly killed me when their NO camera/video rule was changed 5 MINUTES before the Panel started. I seriously saw my life flash before my eyes. At least I would have been torn to shred by a rabid mob of J-rock Fans... would have interested way to go. All turned out OK, and the Q&A was actually pretty fun.
3pm to 4pm – An Café's secretive Staff Autographs: I gave my spot away to the 2 Hot girls I'd been hanging out with all weekend. Yah, I gave the girls a little more VIP treatment, because I'm cool like that.
4pm to 6pm – An Café's security detail, they have a private conference, meeting with our Executives and exclusive press interview for our Evaluation of how they liked North America (as a whole Nation) San Jose was their first time concert in America!
Check out their An Cafe's Thank you VIDEO! -

6pm to 9pm – Final debriefing of the Convention as a whole, checking the Convention Center and most area were cleared out by then with a couple of exceptions here and there.
9pm to 12am – Randomly driving home friends from the Convention.

I'm exhausted and my voice is still gone.
I <3 being a nerd.
Hot girls <3 nerds like me.
It's a shame I only saw questionette for like 5 seconds before she walked into the Dealers room. We need to change that! and when my house is ready. I think its time for another JERRY-CON during the summer.
Can I get a HELL-YAH on that?
So according to my notes. I was finishing up my shift at the Reg/An Cafe lines.
Yeah, ive tracked my time down to the blocks of hours. I'm THAT weird. :P
I was making sure Opening Ceremonies went without any problems! ;D
I think I was kicking someone's butt for cutting in a line somewhere.
Driving to Fanime with joy and panic in my heart!
In the dealer's room!
I spent too long and far too much money in there. >.>
Waiting with a few friends at the front of the more or less nonexistent line for the first GAINAX panel.
planning a strategy for saturday's line and watching people trickle in for onsite registration ;p
Oh man, I was just thinking of what I was doing this time last week. Man, can't believe it's already been a week :(.
I believe around this time, I was waiting in line for An Cafe tickets~
Man, it's Friday already.
Right about this time, I was in the dealer's room, admiring a high-carbon, authentically forged katana blade. It had a dull gleam under the fluorescent lights- a vastly different feel to it than the standard, cheap stainless steel ripoffs you find in most places, its hundreds of folds like a torrential river across its surface. This was what they meant when they said that Japanese blades were an art unto themselves.
I was on my way to the Fire Emblem Gathering. :)
Good god, it's been only a week and I can't remember exactly what it was I was doing. Let's see....I think I was either together with my roomies as they were getting their badges...or we were doing Irish Carbombs in the bathtub at our hotelroom XD I'm leaning towards the Irish Carbombs, lol.
I was still in the Texas Hold'em Tournament
Day 1 was for me:
Hanging out, taking cosplay pics and doing the swap meet.
Crap, it has been a week already. I miss it -_-;;
It would be ten right now. So I would say at the swap meet, and waiting for hentai night.
I would be at the swap meet buying some wallscrolls, a few DvDs, and my awesome Kon(Bleach) Hat.
I believe I was at the swap meet buying some pencil boards and a book.
I think I was watching some (non hentai) anime
11:34... I think it was around this time we went to check out the dance...
Last Friday 11:30 pm? Driving up north...
Saturday, cousin's Graduation! and Indiana Jones
Then finally....
SUNDAY FANIME!!!
Driving home from work. :(
I was sleeping, I needed to be awake early, plus Masquerade
I was '.______.'-ing because I had to wake up uber-early for one of my staff shifts.
Thinking about it now, it wasn't too bad. ;____; I miss Fanime.
Finishing up the FMA Gathering
i was getting ready at my hotel room for the first day of maid cafe ^^
I was in the dealer's room, running around and spending all of my money. XD; That or I was in line for the dealer's room. P:
at this hour, I was walking around the con center with my friends and being inside the dealer's room lol(before my phone blew up concerning the forum badges).
At this time a week ago I was at the rave. Lots of fun there.
At Fanime living it up!!!!!
I would be in the Yaoi room with my girlfriend K&K4ever and later on I'll be in the Hentai room.
In the Hentai room with the hands raised in the air.

I did every so often.
XD And it just so happens that the FanimeCon Jesus is my friend. I dragged him over to the Hentai room multiple times throughout the Con.

Yeah had a good laugh on that one.
I woke up late for my last working Shift @ Fanime.
Dancing with the hot ladies takes alot of ya - ;)
During this time on monday, Me, Spirit, Otaku and most of the forum people, were at the Fanime Forum Panel.
Crap..PCD hasn't gone away.
Around this time I think I was at home instant messaging Appu to say, "oh hai" to the people attending the fanibb panel for me.
I actually was at the fanibb panel
I was at the "What Did You Miss?" panel that had Dan Southworth and Richard Waugh.
Chilling with the Ace Attorney gathering group (well, at least its core members) one last time.

Yep, that's him. : D I didn't drag him there all the time, he went on his own a good amount. But I brought/called him over when he did the "Confessionals Here" sign.
I had just got home and was unpacking everything.
I was passed out on my bed... I think... >.>
Right about now I would online, just a couple of hours after I came home from fanime.
I was still driving home! But we checked out Tuesday morning to avoid the craziness.
I was home asleep dreaming about Fanime. I still can't believe its over! Grah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
