I'm just wondering...I've been going to Sac Anime for about 2 years now, and I'm pretty excited about going to Fanime...this'll only be my 2nd major convention; the first one I went to was Anime Expo in '02...

Your first Con was Anime Expo, then you went to Sac Anime... Wow. That's like... down grading x10.

But I didn't go to any cons between AX and the first time I went to Sac Anime in the spring of '05...

Looking at the statistics, I can say that a whole lot of people are coming from Sacramento and the surrounding areas.

Yay for Davis!

Driving from Sacramento all the time is a pain. I move for the installation of a Stargate so we don't have to drive three hours. D;

I commute to Sacramento for School, so you can consider me part of Sacramento (I've always have). I'll be going to Fanime, too (obviously).

You commute to Sac? That means you either come from Truckee, Tracy, or my area...

Hey...... psst!
When are you going? >_>
Title: Anyone from Sacramento going to Fanime?
Post by: SuperKawaiiNeko on April 16, 2007, 02:41:02 PM
What do you mean, when am I going? Right now, Im not. Thats why I need a ride o_O

I need to be there on thursday...as early as possible. Arriving sometime between ten and noon is ideal, but if someone wants to be there REALLY early or if I cant get anyone to take me until later, I'll take what I can get. Though I'd prefer really early over really late ^_^0 (Im a volunteer and I gots work to do, dontcha know)

Wooo

I was fairly young back in 1993 and my only exposure to anime, back then, was what I saw at the Monday night showings at Even Better Games and Comics.

NOOOo.  There's pollen there too?! UGH. I go to ARC currently. My first year. I'm transferring to UC Davis next year. (Yeah, I was a lazy bum in High School so I have to make up for it by attending community college for two years. xD)

BUT NOOO. MY ALLERGIES ARE BAD HERE. D:

And likely I'm not going to Fanime this year unless Amtrak can travel at the speed of light, and I somehow manage to save enough money

I do not know if you know me but I am Ruben and I run the Anime club over at ARC.  I usually hang around the card gaming tables but rarely play.  Mike and Justin are coming along, as well as another couple of friends of mine.  At what hotel is your group staying in for the weekend?

SCC does have an anime club, but it's not as functional as the ones at CRC or ARC...in fact, I'm more connected to the CRC anime club than I am to the SCC one

I haven't attended the Davis Anime Club since about 2002 or 2003, but when I was there, there were maybe about 25 people who were there watching anime.  There were two nights, a shoujo night and a shounen night.  I could only attend the shoujo night due to my work schedule, so there may have been more people at shounen night.
