You may have noticed a few changes around here at YaoiSuki. That's because we've moved to a new host, and in the process upgraded and altered a bunch of our features (most notably: embedded wiki and better forums). Unfortunately, we lost our user database in the move, so those of you who were signed up will unfortunately need to sign up again. It's a pretty painless process though!

GETTING TO YAOI-CON FROM SFO
If you're coming from SFO Airport, the San Mateo Airport Marriot shuttle will have a
"Yaoi-Con" placard in the window. If you are unsure, check with the driver and ask
if he's going to San Mateo or Millbrae. If he says Millbrae, it's the wrong shuttle.
Please be aware that the shuttle runs once per hour, on the hour from 5:00 AM until
8:45 PM.
REGISTRATION
At-Con registration will run on Friday from 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM; Saturday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM; and on Sunday from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM. Check the pocket schedule for after hours reg times on Friday and Saturday.
On Friday, please go to the Registration lobby (next to the hotel check in) to get a wait number slip from the volunteer there and go to the ENGAGE/Video Room to wait.

MAIN EVENTS TICKETING
Due to the overwhelming popularity of our main events, this year Yaoi-Con is
handling the seating arrangements a little differently We will be giving out tickets
to these events on Saturday from 1:10 to
2:00 PM in the hotel Courtyard. There will be three separate lines, one for each of
the main events (AMV, Cosplay, and the ever-popular Bishounen Auction). The
ticketing policy is one per person, per event,while supplies last.

GUESS THE GUEST CONTEST
For their 2008 con, FanimeCon is bringing in a fantastic seiyuu ("voice actor")
guest from Japan, and Yaoi-Con is teaming up with them to give one lucky person
(plus a friend) a chance to have breakfast
with that guest -- by guessing who the guest is! The clues are all laid out, and the
deadline for pre-con guesses is nearly upon us. Yaoi-Con attendees will get a shot
at one final guess before the reveal -- based on a clue hidden in the program book.
Check out the contest rules & clues so far:

SATURDAY NIGHT TRIPLE PLAY
Looking for something a little different to do on Saturday night? Take advantage of
Yaoi-Con's special Saturday Night Triple Play menu of alternate programming.
*Pictionary: enjoy some twisted and rousing games of Pictionary, delivered in a
uniquely Yaoi-Con style!
*Yaoi Tile Challenge: If guessing pictures isn't your style, we're offering a
fast-paced tile challenge with a saucy personality!
*Iron Yaoi Writ-ahhh: To cap off the triple play, we want you to bring your best
game and face off in a brutal contest of wits and fanfic. Contestants will be given
"secret ingredients" and 15 minutes in which
to write their work of art, and win the hearts and minds (or other body parts) of
the audience.
For more details, check out:
