Has any one ever heard of the Fanime convention before?

MOD EDIT: Made the topic more general, thus more versatile.

Yes. why?

Northern California's largest Japanese Anime convention and this year it will be on May 23-26.

ah i'm actually surprised some one knows about since most people here are not from California.

I'm not from California either I just know about lots of conventions from anime mags. The more popular one in California is Anime Expo.

ya i heard of that one however it is the opposite of where I live.

I'm heard of it as well, only I don't live close at all.

- I'm going to Acen (www.acen.org).

I have to live with jsut NDK but that's pretty awesome. It's one of the top 10 in the US.
