FROM THE DESK Of THE CHAIRMAN

Each year we hold Anime Detour and each year you come. This year, not only have we sold out, we sold out faster than all previous years. Our staff has been hard at work trying to make it better and better. Whatever your reasons for being here, we welcome you and your stories. It is not just the staff that make the con, its also the con-goers, and the volunteers. We cant do this without you. Yes, you. Together we can build something that is greater. If you find yourself bored or between panels, try volunteering. Sure there are prizes for volunteering, but the real reward is that you can tell others you were able to be a part of it. You were a part of the stories that were told. My personal story began as a con-goer like yourself. I went to Anime Detour during year one, and didnt know what to expect. It wasnt until year two that I truly started understanding Detour. That year I volunteered. By the end I was so tired that I slept for 12 hours. However, on waking I felt somehow different. I had helped people I didnt know; I helped people that liked anime; I helped put on an event that changed me. The next year I took the Detour. I joined staff. That is when I started hearing similar stories from others. Over the years, so many stories have been shared with me. One person came because she had never been able to share her love of anime with anyone and at Detour she could. Another came because he and his friends chose Detour as their place to meet each other every year. My favorite story was told to me by the nurse who came to Detour to take care of a guest of honor. She told me that after coming to this convention that she understood her daughter more. She had known that her daughter liked anime but never understood why. Seeing everyone celebrating, reveling, and discussing Japanese cartoons and manga helped her learn so much more about her daughter. She thanked me that night, and I could only say, Youre welcome. I was too choked up to say anything more. Im not the only one she should have thanked. It should have been all of you. So thank you. To you who give us your time without asking anything in return. To you who want this convention to succeed and try to improve it by doing more than what is asked. To you who donated to all the charity funds that have helped people in places we may never go to. Thank you. We come for our own reasons but we stay because we find something here that is more than us. Each of your stories is different. But I hope they all end the same, I cant wait for next year! So please enjoy your stay here at Anime Detour. And I ask that you always . . . take the Detour. Sincerely, Stephen Gifford, Jr. Chairman of Anime Detour

CONvENTION INfORMATION ANd RULES

GENERAL CONdUcT RULES
1. All state, federal, and local laws and curfews must be adhered to during the convention. If something is illegal outside the convention, it is illegal INSIDE the convention. 2. DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED: Anime Detour reserves the right to revoke membership badges for any reason. Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to: fighting, harassment, damaging or misusing convention/hotel property, stealing, roughhousing, and causing injury or harm to another or yourself. 3. To reemphasize, NO HARASSMENT WILL BE TOLERATED - SEXUAL OR OTHERWISE: Anime Detour is an event that promotes the diversity of our community. We accept anyone who comes in the spirit of good will and participation. 4. Convention members are to follow instructions given by Anime Detour staff members. If a staff member asks you to stop doing something, please stop doing it immediately or security will be notified. If you are asked to move, please move out of the way. 5. Please only come to staff with issues involving physical injury, property damage, theft, or a violation of one of the other rules. Personality conflicts and private troubles will not be dealt with by convention staff, unless they become disruptive to other members. 6. NO SLEEPING IN HALLWAYS OR CONVENTION SPACES: If you want to sleep, you will need to make arrangements beforehand. No exceptions. We will wake you up and ask you to move. 7. NO UNDERAGE DRINKING! If you are serving alcohol in your room you MUST card! If we catch you serving alcohol or other illegal items to minors, or if you are a minor and are caught drinking, your badge will be pulled and the Bloomington Police will be involved. 8. NO CLOGGING UP THE HALLWAYS! We have small hallways in the DoubleTree, and they get even smaller when you stop to chat with your friends. Please move to an out of the way area to have your conversation. Please move out of the flow of traffic when posing for photographs. Areas for photoshoots will be made available in the Garden Court and main Lobby. Security will be circulating in an attempt to keep hallways relatively passable. Continual violations and repeat behavior will force us to pull your badge as per order of the Fire Marshal. 9. Please pick up after yourself. Please give the hotel housekeeping staff a break by picking up after yourself and others. Treat the hotel staff and property with respect. 10. NOISE: Please keep it down during the late night hours. Your fellow convention members are trying to sleep. 11. LOST AND FOUND: All lost items should be taken to Operations (Room 215). If you have lost an item, report to Operations to see if it has been found. 12. BADGES: Badges MUST be visible at all times. Anyone found without a badge in the convention area will be handed over to security. Registration is important; it ensures that we are able to stage this convention and helps ensure a fun and safe environment for all our members. 13. Please respect the badgers, and show them your badges when they ask. The badgers are volunteers who are helping make the convention better. If we catch you hassling the badgers, we will pull your badge and escort you out of the convention. 14. ENFORCEMENT: If you observe another convention attendee breaking the rules and/or if another convention member is creating a disturbance, please report this occurrence to a nearby security member or Operations (Room 215). 15. EMERGENCIES: In the event of a medical emergency, please contact convention or hotel staff for assistance or dial 911. CONVENTION RULES 3

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.

WEAPONS POLICY/HOTEL INFO

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.

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

A DEcAdE Of CONSTRUcTION ESSAY CONTEST WINNER

For our tenth year, Anime Detour staff wanted to hear from you, our attendees, about why you always take the Detour. We invited members to share their most memorable stories from past years and then a panel of Anime Detour staffers selected the essay we thought best captured the spirit of Anime Detour. Our winning essay from Briana Lawrence of Sewn Together Reflections is below. Thanks to all our submitters. Ive been going to Anime Detour since its first year. Detour was the first convention where I cosplayed, back in its first year before Sheratons turned into DoubleTrees, even before the mighty Thunderbird. I was scared out of my mind because you always hear horrible stories about how plus-sized cosplayers or cosplayers of color are treated, and I fit both of those categories. But even with the negativity you hear about you learn that theres people who are positive, encouraging, and make you realize that its about having fun. Its about being that character, hell, its about being yourself. If you want to dress up like Sailor Moon for a day, then dress up as Sailor Moon for a day. For all of the bad comments there are always good, for all the GTFOs theres a OMG youre so pretty! Thanks to that first year at Detour, Ive cosplayed more and have slowly become more confident about it. Anime Detour is also the first convention where my partner and I had a table in Artist Alley. We had friends who did it, but we never thought we could do it ourselves. Since then, we always have tables with our crafts, to the point that its really becoming a small business for us. That first table woke up the creative side in us and convinced us to keep doing our art, to keep trying to get it out there, and we realized that that hobby can really be turned into something more. Anime Detour was also the first convention where I saw an It Gets Better panel. The turn-out for that panel was (and still is) tremendous. To see a panel of people -- not just staff, but guests -- who take time out to share their stories and show that, yes, things do get better, was one of the most incredible moments Ive had at a convention. Theres this powerful feeling you get when people you look up to and respect come out and say, I was bullied. I was harassed. I hated myself. Now, I voice anime characters and love my life. My partner and I even went and told our story and the support we received was amazing. That panel made me realize that conventions and the geek community in general is more than just a place to hang out and have fun. Its a support network, its a family who is o.k. with you being that plus-sized black girl who draws, paints, writes, is in a relationship with another woman, and dresses like a Disney princess for three days. For three days, Anime Detour lets you be you. Not only that, but it encourages you to be you. The staff, the guests, the people you meet, theyre all there for you, and that is why its so important to me.
