I was driving around Downtown SJ today and I saw them taking down the "This is Sharks Territory" banners (*sob*) and replacing them with the Fanime banners! They're gonna be all over Downtown SJ soon!
Just a thought. If the Sharks were still in the playoffs, the convention would be at the same time as the Sharks games. That means a LOT of media attention, especially if it's the Stanley Cup finals, and a LOT of people downtown.
Too bad the Sharks were eliminated...
That would of been freakin' sweet...
I remember someone told me that the Sharks were in the playoffs during fanime one year, apparently parking and simply getting around downtown was a nightmare.
person:"...but this is sharks territory."
otaku:"no. This..Is..Fanime!!!" *kicks down a well.*
Well at least Shark fans aren't like Raider fans.
Last time the Raiders were at the Supper bowl there was a riot in Oakland.
So the next time the Sharks are in the play offs I will definitely feel more safe.
As much as I wish that they didn't have to take down the Shark's banner... I can't really feel bad since they're putting up Fanime banners. :P
Next year, Sharks... Next year. :(
Hmm, if I had a ladder I could get one of those banners. <.<
I dare you

Yeah, what does happen to those banners? They're different every year, so they're not of any use after the con.
We keep them to use for the next year!
Every year, we add on 50, so there should be in total 100 banners put up in downtown San Jose.
Oh...well...that's probably a good idea.

You do have a point there. *takes out katana* I can't cut you out after you get there. I don't have my glasses but I think you should be fine. XD
Why do I get the feeling I should be calling an ambulance right about now? :roll:
Oh theres no need to *puts katana behind back* Nothing to see here. XD

The banners are up again!
Well, they've been up since last week
Pretty sweet to have San Jose covered in Fanime banners again. San Carlos Street feels like Fanime Street (eastward from the convention center to SJSU). Who are those characters again? And isn't the girl in the pink dress a new banner?
Pictures to follow (?)

Every year, we add on 50, so there should be in total 100 banners put up in downtown San Jose.
It feels like there's less banners this year though. There's some only on San Carlos Street, Market St., Almaden Blvd., Almaden & Santa Clara (by HP Pavilion), and the SoFA District; instead of the ENTIRE downtown area.
ok, the banners rock, and secondly
the sharks went down like champs! quad overtime baby.
Whoo Banners!
Those are really neat there were none down in Dallas when I went to Akon

We should ban together and permanently takeover San Jose. XDDDDDD

Uhm, Comic Con >AX. There is probably about as much Anime related stuff there as there is at AX.
Think AX, and then add a bunch of cool stuff like Video Game manufacturers, T.V. and Movie production companies, Independent comics, animation, free movie previews, etc. Oh yeah, and comics too.
The Dealers room is about 200 ft by 1000 ft. There is a huge auditoriums and dozens of film/meeting rooms (including some at the Hyatt Hotel).
By the way, there's more to comics than just manga (or American comics).
Expect I'm not espically interested in the dealer's room and the artist alley isn't packed with all the artist/friends I love to purchase from and chat with.
