How far are you traveling?

[Michi]

I know plenty of people that come from out of state, and a few that have come from other countries before. I'm coming just an hour and a half away, though. :)

I'm waiting for the international people to chime in. I know we had someone from England come in once. As well as someone from Canada that comes down every year.

You missed the first international person just 3 posts above you. :p

[Vasyenka]

I'm flying in from New Mexico, and others in my group are flying in from Canada and Connecticut~ c: We're also have friends come over from Montana, Virginia, and SoCal.

I live about forty-five miles south of San Jose, but luckily my dad lives very close to the HP Pavillion, (The Shark Tank? Man so many people call it so many things what even,) and it's not at all far from the convention center! So naturally I stay with him because it's so close~

I wasn't aware people who aren't from the US attend Fanime (who aren't guests of honor of course,) so that's pretty awesome to hear! Sometimes I forget how big Fanime really is.

You're in the same vincity as me then :P   I used to have a relative at the east foothills :/

There's a girl from Finland who does one of the karaoke contests :P she's a great singer- really shy though. I too was surprised at first at how so many people from so far away(outside US) come to our little dot on the map! :D Awesome, huh?

Ah, that's the one I talked to! She seems very nice, though I didn't talk to her for long, since she is quite shy. Does she fly out just for Fanime?

I live about 10 miles south of the con center, blah blah blah.

it's kinda' lame... so close, yet too far to walk.  driving and paying for parking every day is so dumb, right?

[Jesse Uppercut]

Literally, down the street, I live in Downtown. And even with this being the case, I'm still staying at the Marriott for the full Con experience. Nothing like getting up after a fun filled night with your friends and having breakfast with those same friends. Or if you're like me, you might just go through the whole night right into breakfast!

I'm another short distance cheater. Only have to make the drive from Sacramento. ;)

Oh, man. All these people who live hella close to the convention center! I'm just driving from Sacramento, so it's not too bad.

I'll be staying at a hotel anyway.

High-five for convenience expenses!!! :D

[BabyBlueJeff]

I think it's great that people come from all over to Fanime! It's definitely a convention worth the trip! I'm coming from San Francisco, so it's not too far.

[Otaku_Lord]

Amtrak from Sacramento to San Jose~

I've known people to come from Asia, but only when Fanime has good guests.
Like during the previous Momoi-years.

I was just talking to someone about this.  Good guests = higher attendance.  I think this year is going to be rough.

[Oniko]

I live only 15 min away but always get a hotel room because it just makes life a little easier as far as cosplay goes.  Not to mention Artist Alley and having to bring everything in and out.

This whole year will be interesting with the construction and things being moved.  Next year we should have all that new space though!

[WhentheAngelscry]

I'm traveling from 20 miles south in beautiful Santa Cruz. I have a friend coming from Oklahoma (though she does live here but she's leaving from school). I have another friend coming from Florida, and one other from Ohio. Two years ago a friend of mine who again grew up here took a plane from her school in Denmark to go to fanime and then went back right after.
