Title: Fanime Site Countdown
Post by: Yuki Valentine on April 25, 2010, 05:34:18 PM
Hey, I was wondering, since they changed the main Fanime.com site, are they going to still put the countdown until Fanime there?  It gets me so excited watching it!  ^.^

If you look at the hours it actually is 24.6 days away, which would place it on Thursday the 27th. Technically Fanime "starts" on Thursday night. Sooo...yeah I think it still works.

yes, i was confused at first but i figured it out.  I've been counting down via calendar appointments on my phone since the 200 day mark, which is obsessive and tedious, but i'm just that excited. 

saying it's twenty five days from now is acurate. 

saying it's twenty four days and twenty three hours and fifty nine minutes from now is also acurate. 

tomato/tomato.  it's however you wish to say it.

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html

according to this website it only "calculates" full days.

24 days left.

if you want something that calculates, days, hours, seconds left im sure you could google something.

found a better countdown:

this is "assuming" that you start Fanime on Thursday May 27th, 2010  at approximately   guess-timating pre registration at   7pm ***  
Also known as Day/night Zero
[this time is NOT official fanime opening time] :P   a proper pre-registration time announcement will be made soon.

http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=5&day=27&year=2010&hour=7pm&min=&sec=&p0=247

23 days and counting....

HYPE! :D

it's in my sig, if you're ever wondering.  plus, now that it's May, just take 27 (day zero date) and subtract today's date (today is the fifth, so five) and there you are.  twenty seven minus five is twenty two!  voici, we have twenty two days left.

The official start should be on May 28th. FanimeCon officially starts with the Opening Ceremonies despite all the fun things happening the day before (which is still a full day of set-up for staff).

That's what i was implying by posting that, it was a literary device meant for irony.  Don't dissect it.

Yes, but most of the people posting here are getting there on Thursday and it's sort of a non-stated fact that said people are counting down til Thursday, not Friday.

On my blog, my timing for a Fanime Countdown is to when they open up for registration Friday morning at 8am.

Well she was just posting the 'official' start date. I know that there are many people that consider the official start date/time as whenever they get their badge and some will see FanimeCon "starting" the second they see cosplayers. So many ways to "start" FanimeCon. ;)
