Craziest thing at Fanime 2007!

[LastElixir]

the shooting is unfortunate news, I wasn't even aware.

We should already know that you get some of the most unfriendliest of people around Jack and La victoria at late night. It's either drugged up hobos screaming obscenities or ignorant people from the night clubs hating because it's easy to label us as "freaks", lol  well you know what? they can all burn in hell.

The craziest thing that happened to me this year was a Xemnas was stalking me the girl with light sabers maybe it was becuase i was dressed as Axel who knows but i was like the only male Axel it was creepy

Psh. You were stalking me....except when I went to your room. XD

[astroboy]

I wouldn't classify this as "crazy"...but I thought it was really neat that Fanime practically took over the section of downtown San Jose on San Carlos St. between the college and the convention center.

I went to (Hydration) one of the restaurants on San Carlos St. one night and almost everybody in that restaurant had a Fanime badge hanging from their shirts. I thought that was uber kewl.  8)

The craziest thing I witnessed was a fellow dressed up as a Ghostbuster, approach four young ladies, and shouted, "GROUP HUG!" He even took me by surprise. I couldn't see their faces, but I can tell they were pretty much shocked. Or terrified. Hell, maybe even both. They just froze in place for a few seconds.

The poor chap left with his head down, empty handed, and hug-less.

The most crazist thing was when I was sitting down and waiting for the some Hentai to start I saw a Jesus cosplayer just getting in the room and I shouted "HEY LOOK IT"S JESUS" and everybody in the room was shouting "YEAH!!!" and from there we all shout "JESUS JESUS JESUS", one of my friends had a HORSE sign in the room and showed to Jesus. After that he took off.

Well there was one other thing....
Basically on I think Friday night, I walked to jack in the box and on our way there we saw like 7 police cars surrounding the jack in the box. Apparently they broke up a huge party that was going on and everyone ended up hanging out at jack in the box...I felt uncomfortable there since I felt like a bunch of people were looking at me. Though I felt safe walking back since I ended up walking with 3 people from the army talking about the war in Iraq.  Though they kinda laughed about it since they feel like theyre escorting someone since I was dressed up so nicely for the convention lol.
What else....
Oh yeah my friend was cosplaying Yamaguchi from Chromartie high school so he ended up wearing a foam afro since he couldnt grow one in time for the con.  Anyways a couple of black guys stopped him at the street corner on the way back and basically threatened him for wearing the afro. Saying it was a mockery of their people even though he was only doing it because it was part of the character.

[Ekac]

Then all these cop cars came spealing around the corner, pulling into first street [We were about 15 feet from the curb] and all these people come running passed us. They  looked absolutely mortified and were on their phones saying, "Someone got shot up!!"

Those were probably my friends, an incident happened where the felt like they should leave the hotel room to stop by at McDonalds for some yum-yum time, and then up in the hotel room, all of us back in the room were worried, not only because of that, but two of our friends went out looking for them and didn't call us when the shots were heard. So eventually the group of people that left returned, but damn we were scared shitless, my spine went cold, and my brain felt numb.

Scariest night ever.

Bit of advice on the urban scene.

In my experience fast food chains are more likely to have gang activity.

Gang members seem to be heavily into brand names and trendy stuff. A locally owned burger or taco joint may have a babbling bum but at least they are not as dangerous.

When the big mall opened up in the San Jose area they had a gang shooting on the first day.

I was once asked if I felt nervous living in Oakland. I don't, but I do avoid trendy shops, fast food franchises and chain stores.

The mention of goats and Oakland reminds me of this article: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_6039377

Goat milk is pretty good.  

Being naturally curious with my food adventures or "misadventures" I'm going to put the goat burrito on my:

"things to try before I die list"  8)
1) fried insects
2) alligator steak

lol Hey yo, Oniko from Stage Zero staff n yes one of the hosts ^_~ I would have to say Fanime is always crazie for me every year, random fangirls n fanboys and tackle glomp attacks as usual though some of these fangirls of mine seem to be gettin bolder n more forward with me randomly XDDD A friend and fan during the second/third day of Fanime saw me as I was patroling the registration lines during my break from hosting when they gave me this gift bag with this cd marked "Cream...Lemon" (I haven't put it in my laptop yet to see what it is though I am rather hesitant ^^; hmmmm....), a lesbian mini poster thing of the famous lesbian girls "kiss"ing poster, and (my personal funnie fav) this really awesome red beanie that said "ORGASM DONOR"  with the white medical cross on it! LMAO!!! Also gettin tackled off the side of the stage sometimes from random fans and cute girls n hot women while I was hosting... hmmm... lots more but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment ^_~

uhhmmm didn't people already get the hint from the first 2 post that you're a hostess on stage zero?? lol neecchhaaann!! your doing it again!!! and on the boards! but i still love you!! =D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

my craziest thing at fanime would have to be the time when i was handing out posters on stage zero after a game, and 3 girls who were sitting in the front row said to me when i handed out posters, the first said "your pretty! i like you!" then the second said, "I LOVE YOU!!" and the last girl said "WILL YOU MARRY ME!?!?!" with a big hug enough for me to not breathe >@_@< after that they were like "we love your friend too she's pretty like you" and they were talking about one of our guest hosts that only comes on one day of fanime and helps out on our stage. her names yunie btw.  and they did the same thing exactly to her when i called her over! so after all that me and her were just standing there looking at each other and looking at those three girls and thinking "wwhoooaaaa" because it was unexpected >X_X<

yeah i never got an i love you and a will you marry me, ever since i worked for stage zero >@_@< so i'm kinda surprised lol and from girls to boot!

OMG!  I missed that shit.  Craig told me about that!! :(

During the last day of the con me and this one girl spotted eachother like 20+ times randomly. It was crazy! There was also helping that chick with her Quest for left shoes...not to mention this one girl kept trying to give me a nice feminine figure in my cute pink dress (I'm a guy).

[Mr. Wendell]

Seanie, sounds like those are the same girls that just randomly hugged Hanzo and I...

I guess a notable moment was when I was hosting a dance off on Stage Zero, and there was a Death Note L cosplayer who was keeping in character, then busted out into breakdancing, then returned to character.  He won that contest, and he had quite the cool moves.

[VictimX]

Crazy moments at fanime, well of all the things that happen the best crazy thing to happen to me was when I was standing around talking to someone in bleach cosplay when out of nowhere I get jumped and grabbed from behind by a very cute girl who's just hanging onto me and says "resident evil!, I love resident evil!" She hangs on my back as I walk around down stairs for sometime so it was a very nice 5 minutes. All I can say was she was about 17-19 blondish hair wearing all black and these cat ears so I didn't mind walking around with her on me. It surprised me as I looked like this.
Riot control
In the end every moment at fanime was a crazy moment... til it ended.

[K&K4ever]

I hate it when it ends.

the last day would be considered dead day (acording to Daiana)

[JohnnyAR]

A couple cosplays I thought that were interesting:

- Jesus
- Burger King
- Hard Gay
- balikbayan box

8)

Ha Jesus and teh burger king guy

[JohnnyAR]

"Jump, kashira!"

Craziest thing for me was sitting at an Artist's Alley table with my friends and being asked for a commission.  You see... I'm not an artist.  But she paid me anyway!  Thanks, Kingdom Hearts crazed girl!!  : 3

yeah, was she cosplaying as Sora right? Becasue I couldn't tell if you meant that she was cosplaying or not?

[JohnnyAR]

Let's see (for now):

- "Accidently" triggering the fire alarm by spray painting the wiimote cosplay.  Oops.  Luckily, the staff at the hotel didn't fine us.
- Being glomped by 3 random girls for pretty much 30 minutes or more.  I couldn't escape that at all.
- A friend of mine borrowing my Wiimote to play Max300 in DDR Supernova.  Nuff said.
- Someone showing a white stain after getting out of the Hentai panel.  I kid you not.

Lmao! a white stain! rofl! that person probaby did put some stuff or something durnig teh hentai as a joke dude, I don't think any1 is pathetic enough to masturbate in room full of people.
