As we go into the last day of FanimeCon 2009, we have experienced amazing moments. Post those amazing moments to share the world.
For me, it would have to be attending the Yamaga-san Party and getting gonged at the Karaoke Gong Show while trying to sing Mikuru's song.
What about you?
Definitely playing "ninja" behind the arcade machines in the game room from midnight till like 3-4am and seeing it become huge, since it started in a hella small group :D
+BLAZBLUE & seeing afro samurai.
Yeah definitely playing Ninja I was that Samurai my friend was doing all those yaoi positions (had a tux & glasses) I was the samurai played one game (had blisters couldn't play anymore)
Cosplay chess! I was the Apollo Justice cosplayer on Saturday night, so I got to shout those four infamous catch phrases.
Also, the hard questions at Banzai Arcade. Dr. Robotnik with 12 balls and chains, Super Saiyan Super Shreeder: Attorney at Law, and LABYRINTH ZONE DANCE PARTY.
Ninja and Johnny Rockets definitely kept me awake and in love with the 2009 con.
Last year was so fxxking dull. Ninja surely brought some life to the arcade.
For me, it was waving to a little kid in the park, and having him freak out and run away...
Also, this random guy asked if he could take a picture of me and his dog.
Yup.
Oh, haha. When i was walking back to the convention after lunch, there was this old lady walking to some nearby steak restaurant and they asked me if there was a Star Trek convention going on or something o.0

close but no cigar...
You: 1
Old Lady: 0.
my pants dropped as I was walking away from Johnny Rockets.
I really just didn't even care and walked a couple of more steps till I realized I have valuables in my pocket.
For me, it was definitely having a random raver give me a bracelet that said "beginnings" on it. I don't know why, it just made me really happy.
And the ball in general was amazing.
because it really was laced with anthrax, and is now the beginning to your end.
::)
Some amazing moments that I can remember:
*Even if I didn't see all of it, the Whose Line is it Anyway panel
*Banzai Arcade (I want to see video of this as soon as possible)
*The last Stage Zero game show aka Tourney of Champions on Sunday (just for the prize results)
*Group 12 at Masquerade
Ken used my PS3. ;D
I found it amazing that I was able to dance for as much as 6 hours straight with a leg that is weak enough to require a cane to help me walk.
But everything is amazing at fanime.
Tyler R. covering the door at the B&W ball so I could go hang out and take pictures of the guests of honor dancing.
I officially owe that man two beers or some other sort of drink of his choice.

Hahaha, no problem man! We'll get another chance to hang in a few weeks. (Btw, I want copies of all the cool pics you got and the ones you got of us suits after it ended.)
More stuff:
- Hitting Level 500 in Tetris: The Grand Master several times.
- Yaoi-Con Bingo. "[beatboxing] YAOI [more beatboxing]" "[beatboxing] FIAH POWAH [more beatboxing]"
- AMV Hell 0 in the Hentai Room. "IT'S GENDO!"
- eGaming in general. Lots of arcade stick controllers, NiGHTS, Radiant Silvergun, Tetris TGM, and other amazing games.

Haha lol.
Makes me think I want to cosplay next year.
My Moments:
The Gong Show, never laughed so hard in my life, I loved the hecklers in the back.
Being attacked by this girl in the AA. She glomped me from behind.
When I told her I wasn't cosplaying, she just said "It's ok." and walked away. ???
(See line #2)
And lastly, when walking to Gourmet Express, some guy asked me what the heck was going on and so I stood there explaining FanimeCon to him, and when I started walking away, he mumbled "I want to go" lol.
Man, had loads of fun this year.
6-7 hours of ninja. I'm STILL sore!

Haha, I think you jumped in Monday [around like 2am] not knowing how to play.
You caught on really fast and turned out to be hella good. I've only been playing for a week. :(
OMG I loved how i left to sleep behind the e-gaming tables and wake up at 6am and 8am to see you guys still going at it, when i left at like 2am. haha.
glad to see the game going without me leading. :)
playing dead fantasy for everyone was really great to me. the cheers just made me so giddy. :P

- Yaoi-Con Bingo. "[beatboxing] YAOI [more beatboxing]" "[beatboxing] FIAH POWAH [more beatboxing]"
XDDD THAT SOUNDS AMAZING! Now I wish I went to that
For me...Since it was my first Fanime, I really didn't know what to expect but here it goes:
-The protestors, just cause they amused me and I got to yell at them.
-Making the best friends EVAR.
-The Soul Eater photoshoot. CAUSE THE LAST CON I WENT TO ONLY HAD 10 SOUL EATER FANS!!!
and just everyone there. Everyone was amazing.
This was my first time attending fanime but I have to say my favorites were:
-becoming super famous after the "create that anime" panel (I'm Alante)
-The dance I went every night and my legs hate me for it now (BOOM)
-magically running into my fanime crush moments before I had to leave on Monday =)
-playing elevator bingo
All in all I can without a doubt say fanime was the best weekend of my life.
Favorites...
Asking a couple people for their Facebooks to keep in touch with them.
Having my friend get asked out at 2AM (They met during the B/W Ball. :D)[and then called me later to talk about it]
Babysitting my sister with my friend and her sister. Had lots of fun together. :)
O_O; Saw a billion people around Kero-kun and almost died.
GOT MY PICTURE INTO THE ARTBOOK YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Least favorites...
My friend wanted to buy the Doraemon backpack, but when she got to it, it was sold out! sad face.
They ran out of the peapod cell charm. :(
The little alert doggy that someone brought barking at the Akamaru furry that passed by! So funny and o so cute XD
Meeting my future wife for the 2nd time(Momoi)
Hearing Momoi do Kenshiro's famous line and going watatatatatatatatatata
The Momoi concert, and getting to go on stage with her and part of the fanclub
Getting like... 6 different things signed by her
Having breakfast with her
Seeing my girlfriend run an amazing maid cafe, and seeing her get to meet her idol, sing with her, and overall having the best weekend of her life.
Double post, I know... but this is worth it...

Just...
This was the best weekend of my life.
Thank you so much, for the many many wonderful people who made it possible.
There were so many things I liked and participated in at FanimeCon this year, but I think some of my favorites are this:
✖ I was in the Tournament of Champions for the Stage Zero Game Show on Sunday and I got second place! [I won the quick quiz game on Saturday which made me elgiable. For those people who saw that my name was Partner and then changed to Dupo! xD]
✖ Ballroom dancing lessons. That was super-duper fun!
✖ The shrimp croissant sandwich from the Maid Cafe. I'm sorry, but that was crazy delicious. >.>;
✖ Participating in the RAVE on Sunday.
✖ Yaoi and Hentai nights on Sunday.
✖ PIKAPIKA! My friend and I went six times, so we got a free one because we filled up our card! 8D Yay!
✖ Meeting DAVE from Snafu-Comics
✖ The protesters because they were hilarious. >] I got my picture taken with Jesus.
✖ Para Para Paradise. That game is so addicting. o_o Srsly.
There were a lot of other things I loved, but those are a few of the more memorable moments. xD
~Making new Friends
~Watching The Maid Cafe Skit...you guys were so cool and so cute!!! (even made me think about joining you guys next year...lol)
~Bumping into Kazuko when I first arrived. X3
~Bumping into Jun and Mizuki...was pyron there? I don't remember...
I couldn't go anywhere without rovers, staff and fanimafia recognizing me. Board members too! (Dreads FTW)
~Rooming with some cool, wickedly-awesome-bad-ass cosplayers
~Forums Gathering
~Vampire Knight Gathering
~B&W Ball
Overall this year was a lot more exciting than last year, and so much variety in cosplayers. I really enjoyed it. I was afraid there wouldn't be anyone becuase of the current economic crisis.
Not so amazing:
I wanted to buy Claymore and D'espairsray merch....I didn't feel like counting all the quarters nickles and dimes I lugged around in a black box. lol
I don't if this was amazing but I'm proud my friend did something about it. It happened Sunday night this guy was at a stop light and started yelling out mean, hurtful words to cosplayers he said "Go home freaks, go home! You don't belong here!" So, haveing a friend whose both a crazed/Pervy Otaku, went in front of the guys car wore his Oni masked and told the guy, (I mod it and took out the explicit words) "What the Hell did you say? Get out of the car. Get the Hell out of your car now!" The guy was so scared he denied saying those words and as soon as the lights turned green he drove to the left lane made a u-turn and sped away like a bat out of Hell. That's IMO most memorable thing I had.
* Naruto Gathering. Sooooo many people!
* Momoi coming out to have her picture taken with the cosplayers after the Naruto Gathering. I was so excited about that that I was having a hard time using the megaphone the get people gathered.
* Getting my picture taken with 3 of the special guests (Momoi, Yagama-san and Ric Meyers)
* Naruto Picnic. Far fewer people, but a really nice and friendly atmosphere.
* The Yagama-san party...all of it including the yummy corn dogs and pizza. :D
* Masquerade was actually good this year. I still hear the Pokemon theme in the back of my head from time to time. lol.
Awesome year all around!
I have to say one of the high lights for me (besides the awesome naruto gathering XD) was when I hung out with peter griffin in my jiraiya cosplay in the hentai room. XD
Banzai Arcade
I kinda miss out forums hang out and the concert
I think some of the most amazing sights I saw at FanimeCon was seeing everyone having fun. It didn't matter what time of day it was nor the event, people were smiling and enjoying themselves. It's especially satisfying to see happy faces at the events my staff worked on for nearly a year. All their hard work and dedication paid off and it was simply amazing.
Thanks to everyone who attended any of the Extravaganzas events: Opening & Closing Ceremonies, Cosplay Spectacular, Black and White Ball, FaniMaid Cafe, and MusicFest. I hope you all had a wonderful time. I know I did. :D
The Gundam Universe gathering: MADE OF AWESOME. ;D It wasn't huge or anything, but it was definitely memorable. Totally going next year!
...Oh yeah. And Yaoi Bingo. X3 (Fourth row isle seat, bitches!)
Did I mention the Naruto Gathering? XD We will consume Fanime next year!!!!
I wrote a long entry on my blog about my experience. It's really long, so I don't expect most people to read it, but I thought I'd love to share. ^^
http://shizushizu.livejournal.com/71371.html
Doing stand up at The Comedy Club and having people come up to me afterward and tell me I was hilarious and sign their programs. Making like 50 new friends. Having some thanks me in person for some stuff I've done on other forums. Having quite possibly the greatest roommates ever!!! It was a bit of a life changing experience for me. :P (and all for like $150 bucks)
Mmmm memorable moments/things for me...
- Winning the video game trivia show. (In no way was it rigged!!)
- Seeing my friends have a great time
- Going to the pinup panel and having no idea what to expect
- Deciding that hentai was boring after having come from the pinup panel
- Wearing an awesome cooking mama apron
- Being too tired to care about Ewu's jet engine like snoring.
Code Geass Vs. Cosplayers cosplay chess <--- oh gosh I love you guys who participated in this x3 (I was the Nunnally who hosted the game and kept on annoying you guys by walking on the board ahaha XD)
haha i would say i enjoyed the black and white ball it was my first time going and i had a blast I was even in cosplay but that made it more enjoyable when people recognized what cosplay i was doing. ^-^ it's fun doing obscure anime's
