I'll see you at fanime then Calling AX quits feels great...
Good to hear you won't be booth bound. Nothing sucks more than having to watch other people have fun while you are stuck woking.

Awesome! I look forward to it We'll have to make sure we meet up at some point.

Heck yes Fanime seems reasonably sized, so it won't be so friggin' hard to find people like it is at AX.
I'll be in the Hilton. Are you staying in a con hotel? I'm hyped about being attached to the con for the sake of cosplay (I hate walking/driving in a costume. I always feel so stupid XD)

I'm at the Hilton too. Likely on the 8th floor, since as far as I know it's the only smoking floor ><

LOL that's why we booked there too. My bf and I only smoke on the rare occasion, but some of my friends going are smokers and I wanted to be in the same hotel if they booked a room. They bring thier hookah usually, so yeah, the hilton was the only real option, considering. Bonus is, it's the cheaper of the two connected hotels XD
How is the food situation at Fanime? It was hard as hell to get food @ AX last year, and I'm just wondering if we should pack food for fanime if it's the same...

Last year it wasn't bad at all. There are tons of restaurants in all price ranges around the hotels and con center, and there were a few food stands inside it, but they were a little on the pricey side (standard for con center food). This site has a good list of food places sorted by distance from the center/hotels - [link]

There are fridges in all the rooms though, so if you can bring some snacks or something, it might be a good idea. I can't since I'm travelling from The Socialist Paradise of Canada and your border doesn't trust me, so I'm going to have to buy snacks this year.

The Hilton's quite nice, the photos on their website don't do it justice. They look really cheesy and bright, it's actually very rich and subdued.

Keen. The restaurants around the con will make life much nicer. That's really good news.
Fridges? Score! That will win the convention over for me. We brought a cooler to AX one year, but that just doens't cut it after a few days, you know? LOL
Oh noes w/ Canadian border crossing. I hear they can be strict. It's stupid, but maybe you can hit up a grocery store after you reach San Jose? I'm sure we will bring enough snack that you can have some of ours if you can't

Hehe, thanks! We're also looking for booze, someone gave me the address of a place a few blocks away that's got snack and teh liquorz, so I'll probably be making a run for it there

Oh, I saw (and posted in like 20 mins ago) your thread about booze @ fanime on thier boards. There is a Bevmo close to the con, and we will be making at least one trip out there that you are welcome to come along. The selection at 7-11 is sad at best, and we had to contend with that a few AXs ago, so I scoped out the Bevmo early
The Bevmo is 7 or so mins by car from the convention center, not walking distance, but a short trip none the less. This is good since I don't know any friend that will be there that won't be wanting drinks (and hotel bars are inflated beyond reason usually)
