I've been to Richmond BART a couple times, that is some scary s**t!
I'm glad GGT is in good condition, I think I took the ACE train (which was ok-ish) to the main part of SJ, then the creeper stew bus the rest of the way, and I think that was VTA? Anyways, I don't recommend it.
Ah, I actually stayed at the Fairmont during Fanime. It was nice, because a car was not needed, but everything was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Also on check out day, we were stuck trying to catch an elevator for like an hour, and we were on the 14th floor (well 13th, but they skip that) with so much luggage, so there was no way we could walk down the stairs.
Anyways! I wish the public transportation was better here, I hate traffic and paying for gas. Also, I have to google clipper card!

I had to take VTA during Fanime. It was awkward. Especially when I was sitting at one of the stations alone dressed like Alice Margatroid in her Touhouvania variant. =.=
Next year, we're staying somewhere closer. This year it was a very last minute decision to go (like, one month before the con), so we took what we could get in terms of lodging. So we're planning ahead for next year. As a matter of fact, my friend started sending messages to people via Facebook to start planning for next year a month after this year's con had ended. We told him it was a little too early.
Clipper cards are cool. I think pretty much every public transit in the Bay uses it now. Load money onto the card, tag on when you get on, tag off when you get off. It's a lot quicker than buying tickets with cash. =.=
Food convention?! eek Sign me up! That sounds utterly amazing!! The closest thing I get to anything like that is the bi-weekly farmer's market I always miss. emo
The black out was in Southern California, wasn't it? Let's see what we've got here...
International Business Times article The blackout appears to be related to a procedure an employee of APS, the largest electric utility company in Arizona, was carrying out in the North Gila substation, just northeast of Yuma. "Operating and protection protocols typically would have isolated the resulting outage to the Yuma area," the company said in a statement. "The reason that did not occur in this case will be the focal point of the investigation into the event, which already is under way." When the power line tripped around 3:30 p.m., it triggered a chain reaction that eventually cut generators at the San Onofre Nuclear Station in San Diego County. Officials said that there was no risk of danger from the closing of the plant.
So that appears to be all anyone knows at this point.
