Title: FanimeCon: Where Amazing Happens (2009 Edition)
Post by: heeroyuy135 on May 25, 2009, 02:51:37 AM
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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Post by: DentyneIce408 on May 28, 2009, 12:27:22 PM
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 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

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.
