I wonder if there's a chess tournament to decide who gets to play chess with the cosplayers~ I've never stuck around for more than a few min. of cosplay chess, is it entertaining?

Thanks! that's really legit, i'll be using this~

Any good spots for photos you've seen so far? I guess that's a good question for everyone

Work a shitty grocery store job

Despite our tight schedule and understaffed deppartment I get time off for this kind of thing by always covering other people's emergencies/days off etc. when they need it, just make yourself really available and never ever take time off for anything else. Make it clear months in advanced that you need that weekend off (I often say i'm "speaking at a conferrence" so it seems more important, which is at least a little true because i'm a panel junkie), and just make those weekends every couple months the only time you take off.

3. Dealers / AA / Signings / Nominoichi / Reg at the TCC
• Remember when the nominoichi was at the Sheridan? and the TCG people didn't complain? and no one minded going over there to buy peoples shitty manga? This is another part of AN that I don't really get, but it only happens Fri/Sat afternoon, so I think they would be fine going back to the sheridan, the lighting makes everything in that closed off little curtain look gross anyways.
• Anyone who does AA will tell you that it's a horrifying battle trying to get a table there should be more room in the AA section, it would ~PROFIT~ AN to do so. which is why I don't get all the open space in the TCC.
• Registration should be in a tent outside *drops mic*
• Dealers room is about as big as it can be, I can't imagine many vendors get turned down, it just needs to be in the same building as AA to make it worth it for the AA vendors.
• Signings don't need their own wing, make an elaborate line, use the long space you need and give more area to the AA/Dealers
• LOOK AT ALL THOSE ROOMS, those can't all be in use by staff, you could single handedly hold the panels section there

Regarding the "more space = more people" theory, it's a little tough. When you think of the kind of things AN has to do, it's about as divided as it can be right now. The thing we need is more stage, and more rooms, as you can see in the pic, the North building doesn't have much of that

1. Vidya Gaems / TCGs at the Sheraton
• Good use of space, almost never full past reasonable capacity. Bringing video games to the north building would leave a lot of tables/chairs/outlets needed, and wouldn't really increase the ammount of people visiting. Doll events and Vidya panels are currently held in the sheridan as well, which is pretty logical considering that's where all the Doll/Vidya people are.

2. Panels, Main Events, photos and video at the doubletree
• The doubletree is easily the most complex cog at AN, This is probably my biggest bias, because i'm a huge panel nerd, and don't see the point of watching hours of the same anime at a convention.
• How it works now: Panels last 50min and have 10min of leaving/setup time, all panels start on the hour. Lines form in the hallway, which may or may not be busy with people in line for something on the main stage, everyone in the panel rooms can hear the noise, especially if someone walks in late. Popular panels are cut off to prevent fire hazards
• How it should work: Panels last 1 hour firm with 15min of setup time, The photo area can be moved or reduced and the area left over can be used for stage/panel lines. The lines don't need to be specific to the panel, it's just a line to get into the panel hallway when the current panels finish. Popular panels are moved to a larger room reserved for the most popular panel of the hour
• Photoshoots and main events could definitely be moved to the north building but it wouldn't be worth doing just for that, because the panels don't really need that much room, and the video panels are rarely crowded at all.

In terms of canadian law, only TCC/hotel staff can tell you not to take photos. When it comes to non pro photos it's all about the property, not the people. That said i've certainly had people flip out about it, and i've gone the distance to make sure they know i'm not keeping any photos of them. That's probably more of a "respect people's boundries" kind of thing

Really hyped for this, lets get some shoots going, email me and we'll get in touch beforehand~

The more cons I go to the more I cherish Anime North. Really looking forward to getting some shit done this year, lots of panels, lots of photos, email me and we can get together for some shoots~

Apparently Animeritime is a little bigger than Hal-con, but it's even further away now that it moved to Fredericton.

Hal con was fun, just had terrible lighting and tight halls

I'm also doing Anime North, Animeritime, and Otakuthon this year

Hey! that's really cool, I don't know if i'd recognize you by that description, but that's a really cute dress. I hosted the Gainax/Anime Shorts/Miyazaki panels, if you went to any of those~

Are you from Hali or somewhere else around here?

stranded out in Halifax, help me. I miss being in Ontario with a different con within driving distance every other month. I never knew how blessed I was.
