Fanime 2004 kicked so much ass it made your brother's cousin's sister's mother's something-or-other wish they were with us. For being in a completely new location, the show was awesome, and big kudos go out to everyone who made it possible.
Purr: Smooth sailing (mostly), good Ops, very social feel, meeting cool people, watching a very cool panel take place, "Turn Left, Turn Right", "Battlefield Baseball", no overbearing industry presence
Hiss: my camera being stolen while I gave the fans 100% when working the Masquerade, dumb boys, too many people "selling themselves" at cons almost like softcore prostitution
Shey, Chris, Michelle, Kenny, Matt: You guys are really cool roommates. Crazy hotel antics are the best. Though truthfully, I think the only time any of us were in there was when it was time to sleep. I wanted to go to the music festival, but by then I was so absolutely drained I don't think I would have made it through the pounding. Shey, thanks for grabbing my second bag (full of food) Monday while I was running my panel.
Jenn: I'm so glad you came and hung out with us so much! And I think we have your yellow cup you left in our room. AX is going to be so much fun!
Amanda: Good to see you again.
Tessa: Squee! You came! And yes, I was abnormally hyper and busy that day... I'm sorry we didn't get to hang out more; that seems to be about my normal con pace that you saw.
Gaia Crew: Good job. 250 people in a room, plus the social after-- You all pulled off an amazing piece of work. The projection work seemed to be a good idea... we only now need a larger room. The fans love you, they really do!
FullMetalNekoboy & Usaku: Panel = ROCK. Great idea, greater execution. I am so glad I asked about helping out. Seeing everybody having so much fun at the panel is what made all the chaos and energy worthwhile.
Dave: Thanks for coming to the CAC panel! It's good to see CSUMB still coming. (For that matter, Anime Etc, ROS, and RECCA many thanks to you for coming as well!)
Kender: Your Panda has the power to put Will asleep...that's an impressive feat! Next year we are gonna rock on headset. Masquerade Staff!
Eliza, Hoshi: Stick beatings? o_O
Jason, Dave, Brian: A pleasure as always working for, with, and alongside you. The two departments I love to work for with some of the best ran stuff I have seen since I started doing Fanime. Although Dave, we never did page you saying your mom had your lunch; prepare yourself for next year! Brian, Masquerade went really well and the location couldn't be much better. I mean, we are in an actual auditorium now, complete with a fully functional stage area. Next year's Der Cosplay is going to be very cool. Jason, nice to see you as always. Who else could I call on a cell phone and scream "Meeestor Eb-nah!" at?
Tomiko: claps
Chris T: I still can't believe you did that in 2 days.
Lionel, Amanda, Josh, Lloyd, Chris M, Wendell, Joe, Dave, Stephanie, the Yaoi Con group, BAAS, and everyone I am forgetting which I hope is very few people... It just wouldn't be a con without you.
PMXers: I heard of a good con down south too! I'm glad people enjoyed TMR and the convention that went with it. Next year, I'd love to go since the two cons are on different weekends now.
I'm still very lagged by the convention, I'll probably write a more detailed thing this week when I feel more alive.
In response to "Burns Like Only Con Lag Could":
MY TAINTED TIKI CUP!! Bring it to AX!!
