Just thought I'd share a couple thoughts from my experiences. haha, thoughts

The JRave/JPop dance are pretty good ideas. Chances are, if you stick with everyone after the dinner meet up or whatever ends up happening, it'll be the JPop dance after. Or you could go to the parking lot rave if you're into that. I find that in the last two years, the indoor dances have been less about the bass, and had more focus on actual JPop, so take from that what you will.

AN Idol and the 404s are two mainstream recurring events, and you really can't go wrong with these kinds of larger events, so take your pick. Also lots of osu! people also spend a lot of time at Sheraton, primarily for the gaming rooms.

I find that lots of newcomers often spend much of their time at the Dealer's Room - there's a lot to explore, but just be mindful that there may also be some other events worth going to. On the other hand, if you're lost and don't know what to do, Dealer's Room! Or you could try to find some of the other guys at Sheraton.

Haneii pretty much covered all the general tips, but here are some that I think that are most important.
It's a really good idea to look up the schedule on their site and try to plan things you'd like to do before hand. Things don't always go as planned, especially if you're new to this sort of thing, but it helps a ton to have an idea of what things you want to go for.
Make sure you line up super early for the big events, you'll regret it if you don't.
And check your phone. Oh my god for the love of god check your phone. Unless there isn't a single person you know who's attending the event with you, CHECK YOUR PHOne D:

Can attest to this. Also, gaming related, the retro game room has tournaments that you can register for (last year I went for Puzzle League and got third place, not bad I say), and it's with a wide skill level as well. There could be people there who play almost like it's a side-job, and there are others who haven't even played the game before! All ranges of skill are allowed inside of the tournaments, and in the end, they're just for fun.

If I were you I'd probably email them (registration@animenorth.com) and ask about it. Last time I emailed them about something they responded within the same day.

@Byakugan249: Did things work out with registration?
YTYuyu
yea it turns out i wrote out the wrong email, i put .com instead of .ca. in the end they sent me another copy and everything is resolved :D
kaetwo
@Byakugan i feel .ca emails are the worst thing that ever happened in canadian history, but glad to hear you got it sorted it c:

I'm planning to order the buttons (just the plain ones) soon, how much should i order?
YodaSnipe
I still can't believe I didn't get to meet meiikyuu when I met lunar. You owe me big time!


Also to those that mentioned the dances...

HELL

Trust
I'll be attending for a second time! Looking forward to seeing some familiar and new faces. Also yes the dances are a lot of fun! Last year I was hesitant but Byaku is awesome for convincing me otherwise.

Hasn't there always been one?

If not, then what do we call the room with the DDR machine, the Sound Voltex booth, etc. ?
YodaSnipe
I'm pretty sure every year I've gone they've had a Bemani room.

It is as blissfulyoshi has stated. The meetup has happened on Saturday every year since we've been doing this (or at least since I've been going).
