HI EVERYBODY! Since FANIME has opened registration for 2011, I figured it was probably time for me to start this year's thread for the con. For those who haven't heard my spiel before: Fanime is an anime convention held each Memorial Day Weekend in San Jose, CA. For those who are wondering, that's the weekend after graduation and a full week after the end of finals. If you need more info on what an anime convention is, just talk to people in club. They'll explain it to you. They haven't put up anything on their website about the 2011 convention yet (except registration) but the website can be found at www.fanime.comUse this thread to find out who else is going, find people to room with, arrange carpools, or just geek out about the con and its guests-of-honor. (Once they're announced that is.)

Yay! I am sooo going. I promised myself last con I'd go this year too! I also can't wait to see my old buds from my old anime club. I'll see about the rooming situation, however.

You know I'm going Senor Awesome, might be willing to pay for a room as well if we want three, or if you don't want to this year.

Hey Listen! FANIME 2011 SITE IS UP! We need to know who's all going to be going so we can tetris people into the rooms. I believe Jameson will be getting a room as always, and instead of Sean this year (unless he changes his mind), I will be getting our second room. Post people, Post!

IMPORTANT FANIME UPDATE As some of you already know, hotel rooms for Fanime are almost completely sold out. Rooms are currently only available at the Fairmont which is located about 1 block away from the con. (At the other end of the park with the poop snake statue.) While the hotel is still acceptably close to the convention center and is reasonably priced, I am currently looking into possibilities for getting into other hotels; but nothing is certain at this point. This message is mostly to get people looking into hotel options. More info to come as I find things out.

How many people can fit into the fairmont room, I hear the fairmont is really nice and they do have wifi included apparently. They are pretty close too, but it would be nicer to get into the hilton, and the best to get into the mariott if we could somehow.

I dunno if it's Mike ranting about the porn showing or the awesome pics Chelsea posted last semester, but I would really like to go this year.

You'd get lost within seconds. I don't think you can handle the awesomeness of a con.

Still mark Saya and I as maybes. However, the probability is looking stronger and stronger. I should know for sure within about a month.

If I'm lucky, I'd try and convince my parents to lend me a car, but at this point, it's almost impossible, even though I'M FINALLY INSURED!!! Through my parents. But under one condition. Get a job so you can drive your own car and provide your own insurance. Well, CRUD. Well, we'll see. If finals finish the week before Fanime, its likely that I'll back in SF by then. We still have a long way to go. At the moment now, I'm concerned about rooms.
