Title: Fanime 2008 excitement
Post by: Mew on October 22, 2007, 03:44:14 PM
Is anyone else crazy excited about Fanime 2008? I'm sooooooooo looking forward to it, if only because of the guest! Yeah, I'm talking about the one from the Guess the Guest contest. I figured out who it was before Fanime even put up any of their clues. .^^;; Anyway, I say THANK YOU to the Fanime (and Yaoi-Con) staff who organized this. So excited~~

Curious as to how Fanime will be drawing the second winner for the breakfast thing. Just, PLEASE no random picking from pre-registered attendees.......

well uh...lately i have been looking at some pictures from last fanime and now that the forums are up I am now even more excited. I've been having weird dreams about fanime too. Like how I'm at the convention without my costume and feeling really stressed because i didnt bring one.

Has anyone else having similar dreams?

We're actually looking at our options as to how to pick the 2nd winners. The obvious choice is to just randomly pick someone that pre-registered, but we're still trying to figure out options. =)

I've had plenty of those dreams whenever it's a few months before fanime. I mostly have ones where I have no money with me or anything for that matter ready, and I realize this right when I'm at the con. Those really shake me. I had a really bad one where fanime was being held at some crappy place. XD

I'm also super excited because I'm getting a sewing machine in Jan which means I can sew again! Now to plan a cosplay that I can make in 5 months... ???

Post by: Mr Anime on October 23, 2007, 12:59:52 PM
I'm excited about Fanime. But that's probably because it'll be my first time attending. Been wanting to go for some time, but couldn't because of work.
Title: Re: Fanime 2008 excitement
Post by: KawaiiMess on October 23, 2007, 01:23:01 PM
Me and my fellow ani-nerd friends are planning to hit Fanime this year--it'll be my first time, seeing as I moved from Hawaii and there is no anime con on the island I was on. We're hellbent on getting the moolah to make cosplay costumes, transport ourselves over to San Jose, and still have enough to waste at the dealers tables.

Food? Bah. Doujinshi is more important!
Title: Re: Fanime 2008 excitement
Post by: Altomare on October 23, 2007, 01:27:57 PM

If I can work overtime enough and make enough money I'll be attending the upcoming Fanime. It will be my very first Fanime but my third convention all together. I really can't wait!! ^__^

xD
I'm so excited, but none of my friends are into anime so I've been blabbering to them about how awesome it's gonna be and they're just like "O___o; You're a geek, but we love you. Now stop blabbering." =| It sucks to have no friends that share the same interest as me. HENCE THE REASONS I GO TO CONVENTIONS. So yeah, hopefully I'll make some friends at Fanime.

Pre-Reg just opened up, so I guess that's where the excitement begins. lol.  I have yet to figure out my cosplays for this year, so I'm really excited about that.  Was thre any other guests announced yet? Besides that Guess the Guest one?

I'm so excited that I could eat a whole gallon of ice cream! ...which would note be such a great idea.

XD I'm looking forward to the winner of the Guess the Guest contest. I FINALLY, after WEEKS, with the last frikin' clue found out who it was. T_T I felt so stupid after I finished researching. :3 But more or less, I just CAN'T WAIT. XD

Mmm~ A gallon of ice cream sounds good! X.D
Haha. I figured it out after Y-Con put up their bonus clue, and then I knew 100% I was correct after Fanime finally put up their clues. The radio show one really sealed it for me. (The clue about 24 threw me off for a while until I had a Japanese friend confirm because he's not listed anywhere on places like Wiki JP ver.) The later clues are so EASY and now they're just a dead giveaway! X.DDD Anyway, I wanna know who's gonna win too! *crosses fingers* Come to the Seiyuu Panel at Y-Con~ I'll actually be co-paneling it with my friend. .^^

as much as i hate to say it, i'm not exactly as hyped as i was for '07. maybe it had something to do with the things that happened to me in '07 (or in this case, LACK THEREOF), but the anticipation bug has yet to bite me yet. maybe in another few months

I've developed a tolerance as well, It just means I have to consume more than normal for the same effects. Basically 5-6 cans of a large monster will get me going for a night of graveyard and waking people up that are asleep on the con floor =D.

I don't really start getting excited until around January.  I'm more excited for JTAF right now.  Well maybe not excited, as it seems that it is going to be very small this year, but I'm looking forward to going.

The pre-reg open announcement got me excited for a week...

I also plan to have multiple costumes for FanimeCon, and hopefully do better at the karaoke contest.

Me and my friends are havin problems deciding what type of hotel room we want. Me and my best friend want to stay in a sweet so everyone has space to move around and everyone has somewhere to sleep. But my friends from school want to be cheap and only get one room and pretty much make everyone sleep on the floor. Me and my best friend are tryin to compromise. We came up today that we would pay the difference of what they need (which from is only a $17 difference from me and my best friend's plan). AND were goin to offer to pay for the deposit on the room. If they don't accept this deal I don't know what to think. I mean come on who turns down money. XD

LOL!!!! I get that a lot. I'm a big kid what can I say. Yeah I did. I cosplayed as Jiraiya. It wasn't the greatest so this year I'm goin to make it a lot better. Does it really seem that weird? Because I do know other college student that cosplay as well. My friends and girl friends are going to do it this year. Then again it is their first convention and they want to have the full experience. Were you at the Naruto Gathering?

Me and my friends are making plans as we speak (although we all aren't seeing eye to eye right now)!
my freidns say they are gonna go and then they say they're not and then they say the do and they wont make up their mind!

so im gonna be like best friends with tehir parents so that my friens can come to fanime 08 w/me since i reserved i room well my mom she works at montgomery
Me and my friends are havin problems deciding what type of hotel room we want. Me and my best friend want to stay in a sweet so everyone has space to move around and everyone has somewhere to sleep. But my friends from school want to be cheap and only get one room and pretty much make everyone sleep on the floor. Me and my best friend are tryin to compromise. We came up today that we would pay the difference of what they need (which from is only a $17 difference from me and my best friend's plan). AND were goin to offer to pay for the deposit on the room. If they don't accept this deal I don't know what to think. I mean come on who turns down money. XD

haha i see just being nosy xD but whats ur age maybe we can run around fanime :P
LOL!!!! I love it when people ask me this question. I'm 20 and I will be 21 in 08. XD

lol its so wierd cuz u sound like a little kid xD did you cosplay last year? if so as what?
LOL!!!! I get that a lot. I'm a big kid what can I say. Yeah I did. I cosplayed as Jiraiya. It wasn't the greatest so this year I'm goin to make it a lot better. Does it really seem that weird? Because I do know other college student that cosplay as well. My friends and girl friends are going to do it this year. Then again it is their first convention and they want to have the full experience. Were you at the Naruto Gathering?

No :[ i wish i was and
i think i saw you at fanime actualy i did but im not shure where you hanging out with other naruto people? at fanime 07??

I've been counting down on my blog...I'm going to make all my serious plans after Sac-Anime in January of '08.

I also plan to have multiple costumes for FanimeCon, and hopefully do better at the karaoke contest.

You too?! Awesome, I knew I wasn't alone!   :) Thanks!

Whoa, heavy alert. Be ready to start making your cosplays; I lost contact with my cosplay commissioner at one point; I STILL haven't got my cosplay pieces. As in, VERY close to a whole YEAR after entering a contract with her.

The "opening ceremonies" aren't until early afternoon Friday usually.  But I think things get started at around 10AM on Friday if I remember correctly from last year.  As of last year there are also some things to do on Thursday night for those who are pre-registered.

This is going to be my first year in a *real* costume, so I am super excited! I'm kinda thankful it's still a little ways away though because I'm not prepared. ^-^() I still have to finish this costume, get all the gadgets...

I think about it almost on a constant basis and it makes my heart race thinking about the exciting drive there! Seeing all the costumes, feeling the friendly atmosphere - it's all something I love to be around! I've been going to the staff meetings with a friend who's volunteering for the arcade room, and just walking through the convention center and the hotels was enough to make me scream and run down the halls!

Fanime is my favorite part of the year. <3
