I'm 15, and the two, possibly three other people who are coming with me are around my age.
We've booked a hotel room for Saturday and Sunday night, pre-redgistered, the whole schebang.
But we don't have an over/at 18 year old gaurdian staying with us.
My 21 year old cousin will be there, but I don't think she'll be with us for all of the con, and she definitely won't be staying in our hotel room since it's already full.
Do we need a gaurdian for our hotel stay? Or for the rest of the con?
1) You wont be able to register without the correct form of ID, school IDs will NOT do.
2) you must have someone 18+ check in to your hotel room..
I feel your pain.
I may not be a underage girl, but I will be exactly 1 month from being 18 during Con Weekend.
As such I have to rely on others to check into the room for me.
Though I did do almost all of getting the room, and am paying for half of it.
As Ewu said =P
If you are all under 18, how did you book the hotel room? You'll need the legal age person who booked the hotel room to check in.

My parents helped me book the hotel room online. They're coming in with us to check us in, I was just curious if they had to be with me the entire time.

Yeah, my parents are checking me in, and we've registered already.
somehow I thought this thread would be heading in a different direction
Im sure the hotel would require that your parents be there, since the room is in their name. Not to imply that you are reckless or untrustworthy, but for safety or security reasons it would be best if at least one of your parents was there the whole time.

Lmao. Your not alone my friend, your not alone..
Well, I recommend that you try and act extra-responsible while you're there, but... practically speaking, I think you can get by without your parents being at the con the whole time. Aside from the (often drunken) revelry that occurs, I think the con is a relatively safe place for younger people. Maybe stay out of the late-night dance if you want to avoid trouble? (The tabletop and E-gaming rooms tend to be much more, shall we say, benign, late at night.)
I would recommend carrying written contact information for your parents somewhere on you that people can easily find. That way, in case something went drastically wrong and you somehow become unable to tell people how to contact your parents, emergency workers can still contact your parents for you.

Aside from the (often drunken) revelry that occurs...
1) I didn't read that.....
2) If I see anyone drunk or with alcohol on them I will personally make sure that you are disciplined to the farthest extent. Our convention is a fun and safe convention, and I along with all the staff will keep it so.
As an older brother and having neices your age going to this Con:
i would kindly ask that you are all responsible for your actions in and around the con at all times.
Technically speaking if the hotel were to find out that parents are leaving several minors unattented in a hotel room without parental supervision and an "incident" would occur [knock on wood it doesnt]
both the hotel and fanime might be held responsible parties... not to mention all parties [parents and minors] would be in a lot of liability troubles....
please dont avertise to ppl u dont know to follow you back to your room and after all the attention on young children being follow and or exploited this would be a year we wouldnt want any of you or another other attendees female minors or not to get into any serious trouble.
my opinion is that you find a "responsibe adult" to officially supervise you girls at least most of the time while your at con or while come/go from your room.
i know lots of minors like to have as much freedom as you wish, but at the same time we all want everyone to be safe and responsible...
as for the having a guarding stay with your while staying in the hotel...
[Legally i think] youre suppose to have a guardian with you during the stay and occupancy of the hotel rooms....
if they found out otherwise, it might get you girls into unwanted trouble...

Furthest extent of the law.
Several things may apply.
Intoxicated on a public domain.
Endangerment of minors/children.
Violation of FanimeCon Rules -> Expulsion from Convention floor.
Just a few things that came to mind.
Don't bring alcohol to the convention floor or be intoxicated on the convention floor.

We're going to be very careful and quiet. We're not the types to cause any trouble.
One of my cousins, Karly, is working at the convention and is staying in the same hotel, as is another one of my cousins who's 21. They won't be staying in the hotel room, but they'll be watching over us at the con to make sure we don't get into trouble.
Yeah, I can only speak for myself (not underage) and say I will try to be on my best behavior...if I don't run into some of my college buddies. XD
I'd keep your cousin's contact on you too. Juuuuust in case.
And as far as the hotel room... Be careful when you stay out late and go back in a group. If it's a hotel that is joined to the con that's definitely better than walking around the streets at night, but yeah. Even still there are some creepy people. "Want some chips? ...In my roooom? WINKWINK" No, dude. And as far as liability issues... Honestly, it's not likely the hotel will find out. However, sometimes something unexpected can happen... so just be prepared! I'd venture a guess that there are plenty of unaccompanied minors around though... I was once!

Haha I doubt we'll fall for a pedophile, but we'll watch out.
"Hey, want a present? It's in my front pocket. Come get it. Rawarr~"
My cousin's rooms are pretty close to our own, so we should be good. Our hotel is the farthest from the con, the Fairmont, so we probably won't be staying out really late. And we're making sure to stay in our group.

XD I hope people don't fall for that. But in all seriousness if you are underage it is wise if you stick in groups. Especially if you are a young lady. Be smart stay in packs and you should be ok.

We've never had any major incidents that I know of, but I had to push through some catcalling gangsta' lookin' dudes at 3 am to get to my hotel once. As a girl walking alone, it kinda freaked me out.. even though I was in one of the hotels that are joined to the con. But then again, that wouldn't faze some people. I'm sure you'll all be fine.

As a girl walking alone, it kinda freaked me out.. even though I was in one of the hotels that are joined to the con. But then again, that wouldn't faze some people. I'm sure you'll all be fine.
I hate walking through groups of gangsta' guys. It freaks me out.
Yeah, we should be fine. Two of my friends are really easy-going, and we'll all of cellphones on us.
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
Gangsta guys. XDDDDDDDD. I'm sorry I've never heard people called that. XDDDDDDD
lol That's what me and my friends always call 'em. It just fits their personality better. x]
XDDDDDDDD That's somethin I'll probably never forget. Gangsta guys. I should put that on a t-shirt. lol
It probably is on a tshirt
somewhere
deep in the internet.
But go right on ahead, I'd buy one. :]
Don't be surprise if you she a big black man with that shirt on. XDDDD
Fashow!!!
If I saw a big black man with that shirt on
I'd laugh out loud
and then get beat to a pulp. x.x
Perverts beware, you DO NOT KNOW how many KARATE-KICKING, BALL-BUSTING females/minors there are, roaming the hallways in disguise. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
That said, i think con goers generally try to look out for each other, being such a fun bunch. Just stick with the crowds and make sure you're not alone in the bathrooms.
IDK about perverts, but I've seriously had like, 21+ year olds hit on me, and some of them were creeeeepppyyy.
So, uh, be careful on who you hit on. They may seem 18+ but... I would make sure... >.>;;;

Perverts underestimate us con goer's powah. xD
Eh all the con's I've been going to through out the years I've never heard of any incidents involving underage peoples being taken advantage of in various ways. Con people look out for each other. Shouldnt worry too much, its the people outside of the con you gotta worry about
Ya, ive been going to cons alone for all four days, even overnight without a hotel in AX06 (first con, I was 15). Had fun at the Pirate rum party all night (no actual alcohol, of course). Cons are pretty damn safe for minors, imo. On another note, Freakin one month from being 18 as of the 23'rd >< sucks. I wanted to buy a swoooord lol.

I'd keep your cousin's contact on you too. Juuuuust in case.
And as far as the hotel room... Be careful when you stay out late and go back in a group. If it's a hotel that is joined to the con that's definitely better than walking around the streets at night, but yeah. Even still there are some creepy people. "Want some chips? ...In my roooom? WINKWINK" No, dude. And as far as liability issues... Honestly, it's not likely the hotel will find out. However, sometimes something unexpected can happen... so just be prepared! I'd venture a guess that there are plenty of unaccompanied minors around though... I was once!
Haha I doubt we'll fall for a pedophile, but we'll watch out.
"Hey, want a present? It's in my front pocket. Come get it. Rawarr~"
My cousin's rooms are pretty close to our own, so we should be good. Our hotel is the farthest from the con, the Fairmont, so we probably won't be staying out really late. And we're making sure to stay in our group.

ALL under aged girls, all staying alone at a hotel at Fanime.
this is just setting up for bad news.
why advertise!?
get someone over 21 to at least be ur guidance in case some thing terrible goes down O_O
--
okay yes, it is NorCal and honestly nothing bad happens in NorCal, but comon, better safe than sorry right?
what if there is a sexual predator prowling this thread now??
Agreed. There are predators anywhere no matter where you go. I'm not saying that you should be fearful where you go but just be able of your surroundings. Trust me. I work with student so I am constantly preaching this. lol. That's people that come to Fanime that are underage have to be accompanied by an adult.
I know it's been said over and over, but pleeeeease be aware of your surroundings. Listen to your gut instinct if something doesn't feel right.
It doesn't matter where you are, or the location. In these days, bad things can happen in seconds. Stay in your group when you are going out.
I am not a young lady anymore, but I still hold firm to this. No matter what, even though I can handle myself, I still take another woman with me if I am going to be by myself.
It's not safe anymore, no matter how nice things are.

Keep working on it and it will grow over time. I remember when I just had a small handful of the manga and now I have to get another bookshelf.
I'd Reccomend the "Self Defense For Females" Panel...
meh... Well.... Just Make sure nobody knows your "underaged"
