i'm busy most of the year and only get to go to one con i like. i chose depending on who's going and what there doing. Last year i went to am2 only cause of kanonxkanon then the next day i went to anime expo to see hatsune miku. . i travel alot and go to san jose often so i know whats out there already.i know i would have fun there but if i can go all out once a year i rather go see guest i really want to see.

are they really charging to cancel rooms. i never had to pay before i normally call the hotel directly and they take care of it.

i'm just confused but i checked out igaguri chiba on youtube and not feeling it. unless he's playing as nightmare then different story. same thing with Mai Aizawa. thinking of skipping this one this year. Gonna see what other cons are doing. Now to fight to see how much they gonna charge to cancel my room.

i'm gonna wait a little longer but in all truth getting second thoughts about going now. i'm not ready to drop large amounts of money for the hotels and travel so not see any special guest. I"ll wait until the 10th and see where it goes from there. Another part of my also is hoping for someone big to show up. So please don't let us down.

i notice alot of cons have most of there guest already booked. I'm wondering who is coming most of who i would wanted to have seen are at other cons this year. Kinda to late to cancel the room so just gonna go and have fun and if all else fails i shall be at the bar.

anyone up for some drinks maybe at a local bar or club one of the nights there. also cosplaying at a bar is pretty fun.

would ya happen to know what time on the 1st will be at work gonna try and take my break to sneak it in

I think we have untill the 30th to cancel reservations. I got good rooms this year so i'm in high hope of them announcing someone soon. It's fanime they wouldn't let us down i hope lol.

31 days left. i just hope they announce someone soon. i wouldn't mind kanonxkanon seen them last year at am2.

Anyone know how much the deposit is for the hilton? i booked the rooms the same day it was open but it didn't show deposit.

yeah a little worried but at the same time they do something great every year. i'm more curious now of who is coming if it's taking this long to announce.  ;D

anyone heard who is performing this year?

[Name:]

Name:
Mode
Age:
26
Time of arrival:
Thursday, if I can get Friday off from work. Or Friday afternoon.
Time of departure:
Monday, end of con.
Events you will go to:
I'm usually in the Asian Film Room, Artists Alley or the dealers room. Maybe a few panels. Karaoke. Musicfest really depends on who's performing. Singing vocals in Rock Band at the Gamer's hall. Maybe I'll try out speed-dating this year?
What is your favorite anime, manga, video game, and whatever is related to the convention:
Anime/Feature Films: Gungrave, Paprika, MindGame, Hellsing Ultimate, anything seinen and mindfucky, or self-referential and ironic that breaks the 4th wall a lot. I also love a good comedy series.
Manga: I don't know where to begin....
Video Games: I love console RPGs, like Chrono Trigger/Cross, the FF games, Shin Megami Tensei series, etc.
How many times have you been here:
Six. '00, '01, '02, '03, '04, '11. This will be my 7th.
What brought you to fanime:
I've loved manga/anime/related subculture for a while now. If it's any indicator of my old fart status, I remember when we had to watch anime on VHS fansubs. Anyway, I live in San Jose, just 10 minutes away by VTA LightRail. My first FanimeCon was during 8th grade. I went back every year until I graduated highschool in '04. Moved for college/work, and came back to the bay area in '11.
One random fact:
I'm a huge music junkie and I sing.
Favorite Fanime memory:
It's a toss-up between these two:
'04: Tamaki Nami added a song to her setlist because I asked her during the autograph session. So many different experiences this year, it feels like a blur...maybe because of how sleep deprived I was, haha. :D In my memory, to this day, it becomes the convention to which I compare all other anime conventions.
'11: It was my first experience at FanimeCon WHILE ALSO being over the drinking age. Enough said, haha. ;D Fanime 2011 felt like the collision of my college state-of-mind and my fandom. It was epic.
Favorite Fanime event? Or what event are you looking forward to:
Everything. I'm looking forward to just BEING here. You know how little kids feel when they find out they're going to disneyland for the first time? Yeah. That's how I feel EVERY YEAR <3. And when it's over, I get con-withdrawal and I feel sad for a week.  :'(
A question you want to ask everyone on this forum:
Anyone interested in a pubcrawl/going to a bar and just shooting the shit about fandom/life/etc?  :)
