I've been hinting with some people, but today I had the chance to pitch an idea to bring a Ouran-style Host Club to FanimeCon. Despite some of the roadblocks that me and the SoCal Host Club founders are facing, we have a ton of options out there to explore and somehow we will have a separate event from the actual gathering, which I also got some information on. Overall the staff was very helpful in answering all my questions and explaining everything to me. When this is your first foray in event and gathering planning, you probably want to make sure you got everything covered. Plus meeting the con chair was awesome. A good use of a asked weekend off (in addition to visiting my good friend that lives in the Bay Area).
It may seem a long time, but FanimeCon 2010 is quickly creeping up...get those rooms reserved and get crackin' on those cosplays!
UPDATE: After talking to the members of the SoCal Host Club, they have decided to push back the idea and try for FanimeCon 2011. I agree with decision given how much it takes to get a large event planned out. There will still be an Ouran gathering, so all is not lost here.
I'll be at the Ouran gathering!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I got my room reserved and flight booked. I'm all set to go!
