**Disclaimer 2: The images were not intended to be offensive, and are of people/artwork obtained at Fanime. I do hope that those who read on do enjoy some of the artwork that I purchased. At a later time, I do plan on contacting some of these people to have more art work commissioned! mrgreen

Saturday. Mayhem. Fanatics. Caramel dancing. Fanime.

This was my first time attending Fanime, and the cosplayers were quite a surprise to me. I did not think that so many people would be dressing up for this event but I was wrong...man I was wrong!
You know those really long super market lines? This was even longer than that. The line to get my pass for Fanime looped around at least 3 times, which took a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes to get my information processed, then I waited in another line. While waiting in the line, I watched the many attendees who had dressed up run by and kept wondering why there were so many girls screaming right above me. I never figured that last one out.
After obtaining my badge for the weekend (the weekend pass), I ran strait up to watch some enactments on Stage Zero. It caught my interest until my friends dragged me away with my fingers clawing at the ground in agony. With no avail, I was not able to flee, so instead I played along.
These are some photos I took with my IPhone before being dragged off again

Our first stop was the Dealer's Hall. I spent an amazing 3 to 4 hours in there and I still wasn't done! Only with that time was I able to price check each booth. Unfortunately I had to make my way back here again at a later time where I purched some figurines:

I placed these figurines in my cubical, along with some artwork that I purchased at the Art Hall
Communist Russia with Fanime Figurines and Fan Art

So this leads me into the next area I went to scope out with my friends, the Art Hall. I had a blast talking with the artists here and even more fun finding art that I wanted to pick up. There were so many things that I wanted to buy here that my wallet became weightless before the weekend was up! Luckily, I was able to get one piece of work due to miscommunication with a commision that I had requested.
