anime next!

pre reg for the next anime next is up!

right now, adult pre reg before jan 1st is 32.50 with a group discount.

the hotel that we'll be staying in, the doubletree hotel, should be 139 a night. the holiday inn is cheaper, its 119 a night, however it is down the street from the con. (by down the street i mean down the small highway...)

the room im opening up will most likely have a ten person limit. right now, i expect at least 4 people. if there is enough demand, I'll help open up another room.

(I just spoke with the department head of gaming from anime next, yay for volunteering!)

i except to put a group reg before the jan 1st.

prices have raised, by a few dollars. at the door, for 3day weekend, its $60.

artist alley prices have not been confirmed yet.

i am excited. can you tell?

Restaurant Trip info!

Nagano
23 Washington Street
Morristown, NJ
(973) 540-9120
http://www.njdiningguide.com/nagano.html


East
1405 Teaneck Rd, Teaneck, NJ
(201) 837-1260‎
East apparently doesn't have a website, but seems to have about twice the menu size.

Both are an average price range. East has the Conveyor belt. Nagano has a BYOB policy? East has drinks, including sake.

The udon is awesome at East, and I know theres plenty of terriyaki and cooked options.


If there's more than 10 people going, I think we'll split into groups so we can sit and split the check easier.

Feel free to comment.
