[Anime convention.]

You all really need to chill. This isn't JRock Rev or some other live venue (omg really? NO WAY!); this is an anime convention. Anime convention. Okay? Things are done a little differently. And contrary to your belief and that of your pals, MusicFest staff knows what they're doing. This isn't the first concert they've ever held, ya know. The biggest, to be sure, but not the first.
Maybe you should just zip it and wait for ALL the details to be released before you start whining and complaining about everything. How can you even find it logical to whine about how things are going to be done when you don't even know for sure how they're going to be done? Just because you're breathing down their necks doesn't mean you're going to get any special treatment and it doesn't mean they're going to change what they've been planning to do just because omg you don't like it. Oh, and being almighty mod-sama of the AnCafe comm doesn't mean jack either. It's a power trip and nothing more. You're no better or different than anybody else; you're not special. You'll be subject to the same rules and restrictions and timelines for whatever MusicFest decides on concerning the AnCafe live and other events. Which they haven't released yet and aren't going to until they're good and ready. So leave them alone.
Geez...

And you assume that I have never been to an anime convention and that I don't know how it works. I'm well aware of the fact that it's handled differently and have seen other bands at anime conventions as well (that GASP I traveled to just for the band since believe it or not some people don't really like anime ^^) Also, I think it's hilarious that you think me maintaining the an cafe community is any sort of power trip or anything, I just wanted to make sure that the people there know what is going on since I care about what happens with other Cafekko and it's rude to quote someone if they don't want to be, that's the only reason it was mentioned. If you even look over there, you see their we're people very grateful for it because they had no idea any changes were happening and now they have the chance to change their plans if need be. When if this was announced officially a week before Fanime, they may not have.

And your opinion really wasn't necessary since you obviously don't care anyway (or wait you do, you had to jump in their with pointless comments because you have nothing better to do) Obviously, just like how you can state your opinion, I can state mine, because I'm sure the MusicFest staff loves to hear your bitching and worthless opinion so much, it helps a lot ^^

Seriously, not in the mood for that crap. Seeing as how I paid almost $1000 just to see my favorite band and couldn't care less about the rest of the convention, I will continue to state my opinion in the thread as I see fit.

And thank you DN6412 for stating your opinion in an intelligent way xD I'm leaving for Fanime on the 19th however and may not have a lot of time for internet access just to check on what's going on before that, so that's why I would like the information asap, though I know saying that doesn't rush anything and I'm sure Jemz and all the other MusicFest staff are stressing out and working as hard as they can and I sincerly appreciate that.

Now the only thing I'm worried about is if the tickets will be given out first come, first serve, and I'm assuming they will have a number? I don't think you can really do it depending on when you registered, so I'm guessing that's really the only way it can be done (which really sucks for the people not showing up until the day of number wise, but if people know how to work a concert they can still get a good spot at least)

That's one thing that worries me a bit.
I'll be showing up with phen on Saturday, and I'm paranoid that all of the tickets will be gone because they'll be given out on friday or something. :/  Since we're driving up from LA, we obviously can't be there at 7 in the morning. . . but, yeah I'm sure you guys will figure something out. @w@

Well, the tickets are numbered but they're mainly used for a capacity basis. You can still line up for the actual concert as it is "first come, first serve" in terms of seating. However, we will discourage everyone from lining up until after the FMV's are over. Anyone lined up at the Civic before then will be for FMV's and not for MusicFest.

Tony and I are aware of our attendees coming in on Sunday just for the concert and have made every effort to be fair to them as well as everyone. I don't want to steal Tony's thunder but please be patient with the announcement of details. Otherwise, Tony will yell that I'm a bad boss. XD

Now that doesn't really sound good, because it reminds me of the lines for Jrock Revolution last year in LA. People lining up for Saturday's concert started a seperate line and there were fights over it. Can you imagine all the fans standing alongside the people waiting for the FMV's and then rushing forward as soon as they're in? And plus, people will probably start lining up hours in advance for MusicFest anyway and just standing like across the street and there will be probably be just a mad rush. If that makes sense. v.v

Thank you jemz for giving us a better idea on what to expect. Now the only thing I'm worried about is if the tickets will be given out first come, first serve, and I'm assuming they will have a number? I don't think you can really do it depending on when you registered, so I'm guessing that's really the only way it can be done (which really sucks for the people not showing up until the day of number wise, but if people know how to work a concert they can still get a good spot at least)

Anyway, I'm the maintainer of the An Cafe fan community on livejournal and I know a lot of fans there don't check the forums here for updates, so I hope you don't mind if I quote you about these confirmations, but I'll be sure to let them know it is still subject to change. If you rather I didn't, please just let me know and I'll delete the entry right away. I just want them all to know that nothing is really confirmed yet except that their will be a concert (and at least we get that, right?)

Thank you again. ^^

Feel free to quote. I'm a member of the LJ comm and when details are released, either Tony, his GR Liaison, or myself will make a post with the details. That way, we can answer any questions the members attending have. :D

Thank you very much!

I just hope you all finalize things soon so I have a general idea x.x It's making me nervous not knowing how the line for the live is going to be done and still not knowing details on the meet the guests thing and it is cutting it pretty close afterall x.x

I leave in like two weeks exactly for it since I'm going to a friends house for a few days before, so I really hope it's all finalized before I leave x_x Stressing me out xD

Well their setlists for the European tour has been:

01 Maple Gunman
02 Wagamama Koushinkyoku
03 BABY KING
04 Cherry Saku Yuuki
05 Koi no Dependance
06 Orange Dream
07 NYAPPY in the world 3
08 Tekesuta Kousen
09 Koritsu Hospital
10 Snow Scene
-ENCORE-
11 Kakusei Heroism ~THE HERO WITHOUT A NAME~
12 BondS~Kizuna~
13 Smile Ichiban ii Onna

Which is a pretty amazing setlist. We should get something similar ^^ Though their whole discography is amazing and worth listening to for sure.

Any new news on the Meet the Guests thing? I imagine it's going to be like how they do at Oni-con and stuff were you bid for the tickets on ebay or something, but I was just hoping for a general idea on how it's gonna go xD I'd like to try and get them, but I'm hoping they aren't put up last second so I'll have the money x.x

^ ah I hope you didn't take that the wrong way!! I was just trying to defend everyone xD I'm very glad fanime is working so hard for this ^^

I don't think An Cafe announced it to be rude or anything, or to purposely go against the Fanime staff ^^ They just don't really understand that it's different then usual tour dates. They were confused about what it meant to be a headlining act when they were on the radio yesterday, until someone explained it to them xD They're a japanese band, they're not doing anything to be rude, there is just a language barrier.

All the anime fans that don't really know who An Cafe is will be happy to know that the bassist, Kanon, is a huge anime fan. He had a lot of fun at Akon spending time with American anime fans and he said on the radio that he's excited about all the Anime parts of the con this time too!

An Cafe is my favorite band, so I'm super excited xD But I'll just wait and let Fanime officially announce it (which I hope will be soon! I'm sure you're just working out a few minor details :D I don't think An Cafe knows it hasn't been announced yet even xD)
