Title: Downloadable schedule?
Post by: ~~Loktera~~ on May 20, 2006, 09:54:57 PM
Is there a downloadable schedule that I can print out on the website somewhere?

I know there was one a few years back, that was really helpful in mapping out what I was going to do and when, but so far I haven't seen anything on the site...

Can someone link me?

I remember years ago that they had it a week beforehand, a fuill video/events/panels thing on the site layed out for each day. I was able to plan out my entire weekend with military precision with that thing.

Last year the schedule came out the day of. Not so great. We've been chatting about it over at the "Time/Location of Panels" thread.

I remember a year before or so, the schedule only showed up at like midnight the day before the con... but I didn't actually mind last year, at the very least, I loved the fact that the con FINALLY had printed out schedules available on-site, and the TVs displaying them wasn't a bad idea either.  Printing out the schedule at home and shuffling through them there was always annoying, especially because they weren't formatted for regular printers.  But yeah.  Hopefully we'll get some info soon... or at least the printed out ones there.

p.s.:  MOVIE DAHLIA!  :)

This year the schedule will be on the web sight soon. Keep your eyes for it. I hope most of the events all of u pick is mostly my video programming since it's the best of the best. Full stuff u never heard of and fan favorites. Also great fan made parodies like redeath, necaflowne, this is otakudom, and steam. Unfortunately we were not able to show amvs screenings since I hit a bump in the road but next year I promise next year we will bring that back bigger and better just to make it up to u fans.

Well one more thing "REMEMBER YOUR US ID CARD" so u can get in to the 16+ events.  hope to see u all this Thursday!

i think it's a good time to hold off on "when is the schedule coming up???!!"

There's 2 threads about this topic, and us constantly nagging doesn't do much help.

I want the schedule up as much as everyone else, but they'll get it up when they get it up.

hopefully it'll be before the con at least.

As long as they have printed schedules when I get to the con (unlike last year), then I'll be happy.

Despite popular opinion, we don't say it just to taunt you all. There's a good deal of work involved in making the schedule, and things change up until the last minute.

The schedule wasn't finalized until yesterday, at which point it fell into the hands of the IT crew, who are currently working hard to make it fit for public consumption. Its rather tedious and long to convert a staff annotated PDF into a pretty printable HTML page.

So, no, there's a lot more to it than just "putting it up." And really, would you prefer us to be quiet and not give any ETAs as opposed to giving ballpark dates?

For those of you waiting for the schedule, make sure to check out the Asian Film programming! We've been running this department for 7 years strong, and there's a reason why our crowds keep getting BIGGER and BIGGER!

We were the star of last year's convention and if you missed out last year, make sure not to miss out on us this year! Even if you've never been to the Asian Film rooms before, make sure to check us out and see what you're missing!

Also, check out the schedule to see what our "secret" movie is that we're showing on Friday at 7:30PM!

See you guys at the show!

Thanks for your and everyone's hard work, Zain.  I can imagine what a headache it must be, and having people biting at your ankles probably makes it worse.  

Any idea if there'll be a printed version available at the con again?

I see through your lies!  You aren't mearly just taunting us with a schedual you are taunting us with the whole convention!  See fanimecon doesn't have the word "CON" in it for nothing.  Everyone is going to show up Friday not only to find that the convention center is closed but that it is actually being demolished!  And then the con staff will laugh at everyone jump into a helicopter and fly to Mexico.
Yah that's exactly whats going to happen, but now that I'v figured it out your plan is ruined!  Ruined I say! :lol:

Two things,

First, Loktera posted about having the schedule. Unless Loktera had access to it before us. *shrugs* Second, If you read Zain's post, today is tomorrow.

Ok, this is taking a lot longer than expected. Monday is in the database, but everything else is lacking. I'm going to put up a temporary schedule in the meantime in a few hours...

I think Loktera was just saying s/he understood the information I said, not that she actually had the schedule...

But anyway, schedule is up, as promised. Thanks, Tony!

I'm definately planning out what I'm doing this year. Last year there was too much walking around aimlessly not knowing what to do because I had no idea what was happening. I made a schedule thing similar to the PDF's except mine has the time going downwards. I've emailed it to all my friends that are going, we are color coding what we are doing and I plan to print it out before we leave for the convention. If anyone wants to use the spreadsheet I'll be more then happy to supply it.

No problem. The first column is frozen so that it is easy to find the time slot while scrolling. If you're with a group, you can send it to everyone, have them fill in what they want to see and color code themselves, then compile it to yours. That way everyone has an idea of what everyone is doing.

I just want to make sure that I'm clear on what this file is, it doesn't have any of the events written in yet. You need to do that yourself. However, it should print out to one page for each sheet, and it's a good way to keep track of what you want to do without overlapping.

Here is the link
http://www.happyrapper.com/josh/FanimeScheduleblank.xls

Be sure to visit my friends' music page. Yes, it is rap music, but it's no hyphy or krunk ish. Think A Tribe Called Quest kind of deal. Their site is hosting the file so I'm giving a free plug.
