Title: What time does Fanime start?
Post by: shy-cosplayer on April 06, 2008, 06:55:01 PM
I want to get there early so I won't have to wait in line a long time.

Get your badge Friday afternoon.  The line is maybe 20 feet long compared to the 1/4mil line on saturday.

Or if you've pre-registered and have time on Thursday, do it then. I think the lines open at 4pm that day? But feel free to correct me.

I plan to be there as early as 8am on Friday morning. :)

Thursday I will probably be there around noon.  Even though the Swap Meet isn't until later, I'll make-use of the free wi-fi by the Hilton side of the con center and upload any pictures of cosplayers I see that afternoon.

I leave home on Thursday at Noon and get to the hotel by 5:00. I'll first check in then get my badge and perhaps do the Swap Meet.

I'm going on Thursday to pick up my badge and do some swap meet. If not, find some cosplayers to take pictures or hang out. I'm sure there are events going on Friday morning so it'll be fun. And yeah, Saturday is really busiest day along with Sunday after it.

well, if you just get your badge on Thursday and hang out/go check out the swap meet, it kinda starts on Thursday, but just the swap meet though.

I'm leaving off early this year, getting to the con dead early (probably about noon?). I have to play carpool after all.
