I did not realized that PCD was a REAL thing. After I left the con Monday noonish, I had gone to work and thought to myself "man that was a cool experience and hopefully it will be more awesome next year"

The next day later is when it hit me. It was back to reality, (which is fine but still feels like I am missing something) it was time to get back to work and start getting ready for summer school.

These couple of days after Fanime, everyday I would think about attending Anime Expo this year just to get that feeling again. What new thing am I going to learn at the panels, being able to see everyone with their awesome cosplays, and having to decide what to buy in the dealer's room, it's a mixture of feeling of anticipation and excitement. Oh well there's always next year.

I can't believe no one has replied to this post yet. This panel along with the "create that hentai" panel are definitely underrated. These two are probably two of the top 10 panels they have at Fanime. ("create that hentai" is in the top 3 for me because of the content not able to be said in "create that anime")

But seriously guys, Ben was an awesome host, Greg is by far the man of the hour, with the computer commentary, and third guy is cool and funny as well (Sorry I didn't get your name, I didn't make it until 10 minutes into the panel so I missed introductions and it wasn't said enough during the panel to catch it)

Thanks for giving everyone such a great show, hopefully it will be back next year.

I was in 7pm slot. They had 8 girls and 11 guys. Guys had letters as their name tag and girl had numbers. Each were given 1 piece of paper with rules and talking advice, 1 page to take notes on the person you talked with, one smaller paper on which you indicate whether you would like to date that person or not, and a pen.
Girl and guy sit on the opposite of each other and have 3 mins for talking. I enjoyed the talking, don't know about the others. The time just goes by real quickly, and it took me mostly by surprise when the 3 mins were up and the sound was made. On the table you had 3 electronic color-changing objects to set the mood: small candle, a round ball and a square. After 3 mins, the guys got up and went to the next girl.
At the end of it, I gave the small paper to them with my choices. They first let out the guys and then the girls. Once I was out, I told the person that I wanted to be contact by email rather than phone. I did not hung out afterward, and just went my own way.
after 2 days, the people send an email as to whether you got a match or not. Don't  know what is said if you get a match, since I did not had one. In the one where you have no match there is just generic, "I am sorry it is did not work out" sort of message.

Thanks for the awesome description/explanation of how the speed dating works daiphyer.com, never been to one so I had no idea how it was set up (the only thing I had to go on, was the speed dating they did in the movie hitch. Funny movie btw)

Sounds like it was pretty cool and from what I read princesskitty18, ash_chan, and Knightfire they seemed to like it. Other than the note taking process being too short,  they enjoyed their experience.

Thanks for all the responses guys, I will definitely sign up early next year. Hopefully more will respond to tell us the experiences they had.

so....can anyone describe how the speed dating went? I couldn't make it this year because they told me it was full. (hey, there's always next year)

Can anyone describe how it worked or what you thought of it? Did anyone "hook up" at the end of it? "Hook up" in the sense that they hung out afterwards, or did everyone go their separate ways after it was over

I'm pretty curious, I'm sure there are others that wanna know as well. ;D
