FROM THE DESK Of THE CHAIRMAN

Detour Con-goers, Stop. Can you hear that? It sounds like thunderous footsteps are coming closer. What could it be? I think I see a giant. My stars, were the Mayans right? Could this be the end? Could it be the cute, but ever destructive, Pikachu? Could it be the towering Godzilla? No! Its Anime Detour: It came from Japan! This year has been a busy one for us. We now have space in the Sofitel next to us for more programming wonderment. Weve brought back Nabeshin and his afro to make us all smile. And most important, you all are coming back. While this may seem like another year of Anime Detour, for me it is much more. Having been to all but one Detour, I can tell you its a special place. That one year I missed I was in Japan, living what many would believe to be a dream come true, but I missed something. That something was Anime Detour. I took the Detour and it followed me all the way to Japan. In every town, city, or place I went there was a picture of me in an Anime Detour t-shirt. When I came back from Japan the first thing I did was go to a meeting to see what had happened to my favorite convention. To my delight, it wasnt a barren wasteland that had been destroyed by Japanese monsters. In fact it was quite the opposite. I saw all my friends, working hard to create an event that means so much to all of us. You can help out too. If youre in between panels think about volunteering. Theres plenty to do. Head on over to the volunteer room, by the Garden Court, and see what you can do for Detour. As a bonus you may end up with a really cool wall scroll, or those DVDs youve been wanting from the dealers room. However, its not just about the prizes; youll be following a long line of previous members that have truly been a part of this convention and ensured its success. Its how I got started here at Detour. So, if you came here from Michigan, Texas, Japan, or even Minnesota please enjoy Anime Detour 2012. If the Mayans are right, it may be our last. But if they are wrong, I look forward to seeing you next year for our tenth year anniversary! Sincerely, Stephen Gifford, Jr. Chairman of Anime Detour

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, things such as: 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. If you bring something to the attention of staff, it should be something that involves physical injury, property damage, theft, or a violation of one of the other rules. Personality conflicts and private troubles will not be with dealt with by convention staff, unless it becomes 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. This also pertains to people posing for cosplay photos. Please move out of the flow of traffic when posing for photographs. An area for photoshoots will be made available in the Garden Court. 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 cosplay 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 beige masking 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 OK 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. 4 WEAPONS POLICY/HOTEL INFO

Who doesnt love having their picture taken in costume? We are here to help you do just that. From scheduling photoshoots to running around with cameras we help document the con and your costume for Anime Detour. All photos we take will be posted to on the Anime Detour Flickr account after the convention. The southwest corner of the Garden Court will be available for photoshoots and there will again be a photo studio in Stevie Rays. Please see the sign outside Stevie Rays for times and photographers. Due to the overwhelming demand and limited space for photoshoots the space will be split for two groups at a time. Two locations within the southwest corner of the Garden Court are listed to differentiate between the groups. There should be a larger group and a smaller group scheduled together so as not to have too many people there at a time.

Nabeshin has been quoted as saying that he places great importance in making viewers laugh.

He reasons that his success stems from provoking the same, strong emotional investmentin a humorous wayas a traditional, sentimental story does. Nabeshin has also written lyrics for the opening songs of Excel Saga and Tenchi Muyo! GXP, and has served as storyboarder and episode director for a variety of other anime series. has been working professionally in theatre, television, and film since the age of six.
