Hey I was Mai Shiranui from KOF...there were several Mai's but I was for sure the only black one. If you got any photos I would love to see them!

Well, here is one - http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=54267478&albumID=3057617&imageID=61512229

and there are a couple others of you in there I think.

I just put up 180 pictures in my Myspace account - the album is here.  If you find yourself (or a friend) leave a comment.

I would say do the swap meet Thursday night and Sunday night.  Spaced out like that, it gives people a chance to still go to the dealers for the main days (Fri and Sat seemed the busiest in the dealers room).  Also, since many of the items sold by dealers are "grab bags" or boxed with 1 of X possible figures inside, etc.- a chance for some people to trade/sell the doubles they get on-site would be nice.  Monday should be avoided, since the dealers are making the last-minute sales then and really don't need the competition.

On another note- This is my first Fanime, and I was seriously disappointed with the lack of flexibility on the part of most dealers.  eBay exists, whether they like it or not.  They need to be realistic in terms of pricing on DVD and manga.  At every other convention (of different types) that I have gone to, a little negotiating is part of the whole experience.  I actually had a dealer verbally assault me when I asked him to go a few dollars lower on something.

It looked to be 15-19 for most of the people there.  I know at 37 I felt ancient there!

Congratulations to Jessee Vang for taking 1st place in the Banned Deck tournament.  There were some pretty good players there.

I posted about 250 pictures that I took while there on my myspace
