I'm afraid, gentle reader, that I lied to you, willfully and inexcusably. For you see, my so-called "Con Report" isn't much of a report at all. While I had planned on arriving just before noon, purchasing one day's registration and enjoying a full day of fun at the California Bay Area's largest anime convention, alas, my carefully laid-out plans were waylaid by:

• Me taking the wrong train, incurring an additional hour of travel time
• and the line to register taking over three hours.

So I profoundly apologize for my shameful insincerity with you, dear reader. But I digress, here are the highlights of my trip to Fanimecon:

• On the train to San Jose, happened to overhear the following conversation taking place behind me:
  Guy: "Where're you going?"
  Girl: "Work."
  Guy: "You work in San Francisco?"
  Girl: "Yep."
  Guy: "What's your name?"
  Girl: "Linda."*
  Guy: "Nice to meet you."
  Girl: "Nice to meet you too!"
  Guy: "Can I get your number?"
  Girl: "No, sorry."
  Guy: "Why not?"
  Girl: "I have a boyfriend."
  Guy: "Oh..."
  Guy: "Can I have your number?"
  Girl: "Sorry."
