-The largest anime expos in the US, growing roughly 25% per year, since starting in 1992 with 1,750 attendants and growing up to 40,674 attendants in 2006. Each year they pull in some amazing guests, but the lines for presentations, signings, and the dealer area are rather ridiculous. AX has developed into being THE con for industry.  Most licensing companies have a presence at AX, i.e. a booth and/or panel(s) where they tend to announce their license lineup for the year.  There are not as many silly panels as there are at Fanime.

-The smaller of the two conventions (roughly 1/4 the size of AX), running in northern California since 1994. It was something of an off-shoot from AX, which originated in San Jose, but has remained smaller over the years.  One of the main differences in Fanime is that it behaves more like a fan con as opposed to AX which has evolved more into an industry con.  Fanime is more akin to the east coast cons such as Otakon because of this, the main difference being more silly panels and such.

 * 2001 (2002?): Paul got confused by going-straight lanes and turn-lanes, only to be pulled over by local police and have his (accidentally) uninsured car towed, extending the weekend stay through Monday.
 *2006: Manga Super-team, CLAMP, and j-rock icon Mana appeared publically for the first time in the U.S. This was one of a very short list of public appearances for them.   causing much fangirl-ism. [[Daniella Orihuela-Gruber]] met Mana and swears it was better than sex. She also met Crispin Freeman whom she stalked for a half an hour in the exhibt hall so that her best friend could come down and get his picture and autograph.
