SOPA and PIPA
As you go from website to website today, you might see some changes. Wikipedia is doing a blackout, Google has blacked out their logo, and Reddit will be blocking out most of their website usage. There are so many resources available online (the links above are just a few examples) and we would like to ask you to inform yourself about SOPA and PIPA and make informed decisions (whether it is spreading the word to your friends and family about SOPA/PIPA and/or contacting your representatives and expressing your opinion).
Learn more about SOPA/PIPA at Open Congress or Google.
[Edit: This post is now outdated since the above mentioned websites have ended their blackout and edits.]

[Press Release] FanimeCon Announces a Brand New Steampunk Addition
San Jose, CA (January 6th, 2012) – FanimeCon, in partnership with the Steam Federation, is proud to announce Clockwork Alchemy! This new additional convention for steampunk fans will be held during Memorial Day weekend, May 25th–28th, 2012, the same weekend as FanimeCon. A single membership will grant access to both FanimeCon in the San Jose Convention Center area and Clockwork Alchemy in the DoubleTree Hotel.
Clockwork Alchemy is a creative exploration of the world of steampunk, a fantastical past that never was but should have been. Steampunk is a world of incredible machines, daring heroes, bold inventors, mad scientists, and adventure at every turn, all set in a time when steam powered the world and the possibilities were endless!
The DoubleTree Hotel will host Clockwork Alchemy’s steampunk events: Experience the incredible Dirigible Races. Be amazed by displays of martial prowess. See the astonishing creations of artists, makers, inventors, builders and tailors as they display their works. Trip the light fantastic at our Gala Ball, be delighted by the sounds of talented musicians, and meet noted creative minds in the steampunk genre. Find once again the wonder and enchantment that you thought you’d lost when you were a child. Be transported to a time and place where, instead of being told, “No, you can’t,” you’ll ask, “How hard can it be?” At Clockwork Alchemy you’ll be a part of the exciting steampunk movement. Come let it surprise and delight you.
Discover more information about Clockwork Alchemy at www.fanime.com/clockworkalchemy. To register for the combined FanimeCon and Clockwork Alchemy membership, or to learn more about FanimeCon, please visit www.fanime.com.

Welcome to the FanimeCon 2012 website!
Hello everyone!
We’re very happy to unveil the new website for FanimeCon 2012! You may notice some differences from the previous website, and that’s because we’ve taken the feedback from our members (you!) and incorporated the suggestions as best we could. For example, there’s the redesigned navigation bar and highlighting the artwork from our Artist Pool.
(But… if you can’t bear to be without the previous website, you can still access it here for a limited time! ^_-)
Our apologies that Pre-Registration and Hotel Reservations aren’t open yet, but rest assured – our staff are VERY hard at work for getting everything updated, finalized, and ready to go! We’ll definitely post updates about Pre-Reg and Hotel Reservations here on the website, and over at our official Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Thanks for visiting the new website, and we wish everyone a Happy Holidays! ^_^
FanimeCon 2012 staff
