WEAPONS POLIcY
Cosplay guns must be clear facsimiles and be holstered or at your side when you are not posing for pictures. Weapons must be tied, or peace-bonded, at all times. For peace-bonding questions and materials, please visit Operations or consult with security staff. Anime Detour does not allow guns and other projectile weapons on the premises. Projectiles include, but are not limited to: bullets, pellets, water, lasers, and paintballs. If it has a firing mechanism, it is not allowed (Exception: bows are allowed, as long as you have NO arrows or similar ammunition.) Projectile weapons that have had their firing mechanism altered/removed are also not allowed. Use common sense; respect your fellow attendees. Items that are confiscated by security might not be returned to you. Live steel should be left in the sheath (or scabbard) and peace bonded at all times. No fighting! This includes sparring and play fighting.
HOTEL
The most simple rule is this: Dont break the hotel. These nice people are kind enough to host us this weekend and it would be rude of us to damage anything. If you need something from the hotel, contact the front desk by dialing 0 from your room phone. If you have a problem or need help with a hotel issue, go to Operations (room 215) and tell them you need the hotel department. Anime Detours hotel department is available 24 hours, helping Detours staff, members, and the hotel all have a smooth weekend. SLEEPING IN PUBLIC AREAS: Sleeping in public areas of the hotel (including the video and programming rooms) is prohibited. If you are found sleeping you will be asked to go to your hotel room to sleep. If you do not have a room, please either stay awake or go home. SMOKING: By hotel policy, smoking is prohibited in all of the official spaces Anime Detour inhabits, including all of the party rooms and sleeping rooms. Smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of any entrance, exit, open window, or ventilation intake. SIGNS: You may post non-adhesive signs with approved blue painters tape on painted or wallpapered walls, tile, and metal in approved areas. The removal of any other type of adhesive is damaging and will be treated as vandalism by the hotel. If signs are posted using any other kind of tape, they will be removed and taken to Operations. The rules about where we can put up flyers are driven by the hotel and are sometimes tweaked from year to year. If you have any questions about where it is and isnt okay to place your flyers, please stop into Operations and ask. PETS: No animals except working animals. If there are special circumstances speak with operations for possible permissions. SOLICITATION: No sales are permitted outside of the Dealers Room and Artists Alley. ROOM REQUESTS: If you have a problem with your reservation or room that the hotel is unable to correct, please visit Operations and ask to speak with our hotel team. They will listen to your problem and advise on what the next steps could be. PARKING INFORMATION: Although there is a significant amount of parking at the DoubleTree, parking is still limited. Please carpool or use mass transit if possible. If you are staying at a hotel near the DoubleTree, please leave your car at your hotel and walk over to the convention. Please leave parking nearest the DoubleTree for disabled, hotel guests, and convention dealers. Please remember that hotel guests need to be able to park their cars. MASS TRANSIT OPTIONS: The 540 bus stops just outside the DoubleTree and connects to the Mall of America where you can connect with busses to all parts of the metro area as well as the light rail. Most convention activities take place between 9:00am and midnight, so using the bus is a realistic and inexpensive option.
REGISTRATION
BADGE PICK UP: A government-issued photo ID must be shown before we will issue an adult badge. If you cannot prove your age, you will be issued a minor badge. Anime Detour reserves the right to not issue a badge to anyone who cant prove their identity. You may not pick up anyone elses badge but your own, even if you have their ID. Anime Detour encourages everyone to bring proof of payment in the event that you are not listed in our books. If you are not listed in our books and cannot provide proof that youve paid, we will not issue you a badge.
Grand Ballroom Coat Check 2nd Floor FRI: 10:00am - 9:00pm SAT: 9:00am - 12:00pm SUN: 12:00pm - 4:00pm
REGISTRATION
Pre-registered individuals and groups may pick up their badges in Operations outside of normal registration hours. BADGE REPLACEMENTS: You are responsible for your badge once it has been picked up. If you lose your badge, you can purchase a replacement for the cost of $45 (cash or check only). Your name must be listed in the registration database to purchase a replacement. Sorry, but starting this year, there are no refunds if your original badge is found. No badge replacements will be issued outside of normal registration hours. TRANSFERS: You may not give your badge to anyone else or otherwise allow anyone else to use your badge. If you wish to transfer your membership to someone else, you will need to visit the registration counter and request a transfer. All on-site transfers carry a $5 convenience fee (cash or check only). You must fill out a membership transfer form and pay the fee in order for your transfer to be considered. Note that transfers are done at the sole discretion of the registration heads and are not guaranteed. Also, if your information (full name, address, etc.) does not match what is in our database, we will not process the transfer. No transfers will be processed outside of normal registration hours. Anime Detour is not responsible for incorrect information due to illegible handwriting or incomplete forms (online or mail-in). This includes, but is not limited to: incorrect badge names, and incorrect badge types due to incorrect birth date. Stop by on Sunday and pre-register for Anime Detour 2014 for the special price of just $40!
OPERATIONS
Welcome to Anime Detour, dear con-goers! You may be filled with questions, concerns, or just plain curiosities - both about the convention at large, and the operations department itself.

Please feel free to stop by Room 215 on the second floor and pick our brains for what you seek! (Please, no zombies.)

We have hot rice and cold pop, peanut butter and jelly, chips, sweets, and even some fresh fruit. If youre nice and your timing is right we may even have ramen. Remember, the consuite is a snack room. Make sure you grab a real meal or two each day. The hotel will have some great deals going on hot, fi lling food and you wont even have to step outside. If you do want a break, step across the parking lot and youll fi nd some old favorites. Keep in mind, lots of people will be coming through. Stay and relax as you eat if youd like and then move on. Someone else needs a spot to stop awhile and eat too. If you want to hang out longer volunteer and earn cool goodies! Speaking of volunteering did you know that if you volunteer you can get into a special consuite? Thats right! Vol-Con has meat and cheese sandwiches, breakfast in the morning, and a greater variety of snacks and foods. So go see the folks at volunteers for more info and fuel up for the con.

Studio Capsule
started out in 2004 as a married couple doing artist alley tables at conventions in the midwest. Richard and Shannon Townsend had worked as freelancers with several companies, most notably with A2 press on the Tabletop RPG Book Teenagers from Outer Space: The Landing. During their time as a small art studio, one young fan had asked them to turn their original characters into a weekly web comic. It was from this pleading that their weekly web comic Otaku -no- Yen (geeks without money) was born. In early 2010, the studio brought on long time friend and artist Kimberly Pridemore as a collaborative member. Now that the studio has upgraded, the trio have begun work on a bold new comic project among other comics in the works from all members. 14 GUESTS OF HONOR
