Fanime Con 2002 had something for everyone and this year was no exception with more style and panache than ever before.  Opening Ceremonies gathered attention around the packed Guests of Honor list and Wushu troupe.  Attendees to the Karaoke Contest saw a completely packed room full of excited participants.  The Music Video Contest continued to gather more and more entries as this field grows with more capable technologies for fans to take advantage of digital media.  Masquerade is always the most popular weekend highlight of the year.  And for those with wandering eyes, the Speed Racer Party upstairs was definitely an eye-opening opportunity for fans of this show to sit in and reminisce about the good 'ol days of anime gone wild.
