How many people attended the Con this year in total?
:?
I'm curious about this, too. For 2006, Wikipedia says "about 10,000," so I was wondering what the numbers were for 2007.
Probably numbers that would keep Fanime in the Top 10 Anime Conventions in North America (Fanime ranked 6th last year, behind AX, Otakon, A-Kon, Anime North, and ACen)
It was bigger this year, believe me. :D
I'm pretty sure we're still in the top 10; we had a decent growth spurt, so I'm sure enough of that.
I'm not speaking officially here, since I don't know the details, but...
I'd say there was about 12,000 people at the show over the weekend. About 11k were attendees; add about 1k for staff, dealers, guests, etc.
It's like we're gradually becoming our own little city.

Fanime is a city. :P
Considering how long that registration line was(on sunday I think), we must have had quite a few more people than last year at fanime. The line wasn't understaffed simply because fanime didn't think ahead of time. I think it's because staff genuinely didn't expect that many people to show up.
Registration at Fanime :mrgreen:

So did I :D
Now all I have to worry about is getting there on time before the pre-reg line gets to long next year.
My friend says Fanime gets larger each year.
I don't doubt it.
