A Letter From the Chair & Vice-Chair
Welcome!
Welcome back, Friends and Fans! My team and I are so pleased
to present to you the 2nd annual Hanadoki Con! Our journey began
over 3 years ago, and it continues to be a wild and exciting ride, and
thanks to everyone- we can proudly say that we are San Diego’s anime
con! We would not be where we are today without all the hard work of
our dedicated staff, our exhibitors and artists, the talents of our amazing guests, and most importantly- you, the fans. Without your support,
enthusiasm and belief in us, well, there is no us! -You guys are our
heart and soul, and we thank you for being here for us. Whether this is
your first con or your 50th, there is something for all of you to enjoy. Be
it panels, workshops, to our special themed events-(Ikebana and Tea
Ceremony!), there is never a dull moment. We hope you have a blast,
and if you see me around, don’t be shy! Come say hi! – I’ll even be in a
new purple dress this year!!
Welcome!

Warmest Regards,
Allison Meyer
Convention Chair
Hello Everyone,
First off I want to say welcome back to all of our attendees. Without you, Hanadoki Con could not happen. I can’t believe a year has
passed since our inaugural and successful HDC.. Even now we continue to receive and encouragement about what we are doing. This
only confirms that we made the right choice about San Diego. Anime
fans in and around the area want a special place to celebrate and
share their interests. That is why you, our guests, and staff made our
freshman year as a con a memorable one.
Moving forward, the challenge has been set. And I hope everyone,
both returning and first timers (welcome!!!), is as excited as I am for
what we have in store this year. Let’s commit to make this legen...
(wait for it) ...dary! Together, I know we can.
Sincerely,
John Ramirez
Vice-Chair
Some wise words from Vice-Chair Toni Shelton- aka “Miku”

Hello Conventions attendees- have a great time and enjoy
yourselves! We’ve put all this together especially for you! But
most importantly- Praise Miku!

Thank you to our Sponsors!
Welcome to Hanadoki!

Code of Conduct
• Make sure you have your
badge on you at all times, and
that it is clearly visible.
• Stop and think. If your actions are dangerous, obnoxious, unwanted or illegal:
do not do it. It is everyone’s
responsibility to let everyone have a safe, respectful,
and fun weekend.
• Offensive behavior, language, sexually explicit
conduct, obscene gestures
or racial, religious or ethnic
slurs are not tolerated.
• Cosplay is not consent.
We are a firm believer in
this policy. Sexual harassment is not tolerated at all,
and is grounds for immediate removal from the hotel
grounds. Touching someone
anywhere inappropriately
without consent from said
individual, or repeatedly
touching them after being
asked not to is not allowed.
Verbal harassment is also
not tolerated. We have a
Zero Tolerance Policy.
6
• If it is illegal outside of the
convention, it is illegal here.
Excessive or underage
alcohol use, drug use, harassment, carrying firearms,
and many other things are
illegal, and will result in your
loss of the privilege to attend
our convention. If you have
a safety or security concern,
bring it to the convention’s
operations center immediately.
• If you are hosting a party
where alcohol is being
served, it is your responsibility as host to ensure that
the age of anyone drinking
alcohol is checked. Hanadoki
Con will not take any responsibility for any parties occurring in private hotel rooms.
• Underage drinking is prohibited anywhere inside
and outside the convention.
The Town and Country is
an outdoor resort hotel, and
public intoxication is illegal.
Anyone caught drinking and/
or suspected of being under
the influence who is not able
to provide a government issued ID will have their badge
removed and will be escorted
off the hotel grounds.
strictly prohibited during:
AMV contest, anime screenings and the Fashion Show.
• Selling anything outside of
the Exhibit hall and at the
convention is prohibited
unless you are a registered
exhibitor or artist with the
convention, or are selling at
the swap meet.
• By attending the convention
you understand that convention staff may take video
footage and photographs
throughout the convention
which may be used in highlights, marketing endeavors,
or other media. You consent to be filmed or photographed by staff, approved
industry, or media during
the entire convention without compensation to you.
Your attendance constitutes a grant of rights to the
convention to reproduce,
display, distribute, perform,
creative derivative works of,
or otherwise use any video
or pictures that it obtains
and in any manner throughout the world in perpetuity,
including online, for broadcast, or other transmissions.
• Respect the hotel. Please
be mindful of the hotel staff,
other guests and the property. Take care of your hotel
room as you would want
your own home cared for,
and be respectful of hotel
staff and other hotel guests
that are not convention attendees.
Information
Information
Welcome to Hanadoki Con!
In order to provide a safe,
enjoyable environment, and
to ensure that everyone has
the best experience possible,
there are a few guidelines to
adhere to during the event.
Code of Conduct
• What to do in case of an
emergency: In case of an
emergency (medical or otherwise) – contact the hotel
first! The hotel will have
an EMT on duty, and can
call 911 if needed. If you
cannot get in contact with
the hotel, go to Convention
Operations, and they can
get in contact with the hotel
for you. Calling 911 should
be a last resort, and only
if you cannot get a hold of
the hotel and Convention
Operations.
These rules apply to all types
of attendees, including exhibitors, press, and other con
attendees.
Violation of the rules may result in the loss of your badge.
• Photography and video
recording of any kind are

Weapons Policy
All props must be inspected by Convention Operations
staff to make sure that they meet these requirements. If a
prop is okayed for convention use, it will be peace-bonded
to show its passing grade; any prop that is not peace-bonded will be directed to Convention Operations to have their
weapon inspected. Repeated instances of a prop lacking
peace-bonding may result in confiscation of the prop or
revocation of membership.
8
Con Suite is located in Suite 2108, 1st floor, Regency
Tower.
We know that in between cosplay gatherings, panels,
hanging out with friends and photoshoots, one can really
work up an appetite, and sometimes it can be hard to get
away to grab a bite, so the con suite is here to help! We’d
hate to have any of our attendees go hungry, so remember
to be courteous to fellow attendees and con suite staff so
we can continue to provide you guys with all the snacks
and goodies you love.
Information
Information
In order to promote a safe and welcoming environment
at Hanadoki Con, we find it necessary to check over the
various prop weapons and items brought to con, and make
sure they are appropriate to be present in our convention spaces. For obvious legal reasons, any weapons or
firearms that are illegal under federal, state or municipal
law are not permitted on convention policy. All real guns,
swords, knives, axes and any other weapon capable of
causing injury to others is not permitted on convention
grounds. All firearm props are to have an orange tip, be
unloaded at all times, and be unable to fire projectiles. No
weapon is to have a sharpened edge, or an open point that
could accidentally jab into another attendee. Any prop that
does not meet our weapons policy should be stowed in a
car or hotel room away from convention spaces.

such actions.
• If you make a mess, please clean it up.
We ask that you do not carry props off convention property, and cannot be held responsible for anything that
happens due to a prop being taken off convention property.
Stow them in your car, hotel room, or luggage if possible,
or cover them if not. However, we hope that all attendees
are able to follow our policy, and have a safe and fun experience at Hanadoki Con.
• Wash your hands before eating, and cover your mouth If
you cough or sneeze near the food.
• Do not sleep or camp out in the con suite.
• Do not leave your belongings in the con suite.
• Don’t take more than you can carry- getting seconds is
always fine, but remember, we’re here so you can grab
a snack and re-charge, we are not here to be your main
source of nourishment for the weekend.
• Do not harass the staff or other attendees.

Tabletop Gaming Rules
• No children under 10 years of
age without a parent supervising
them, keeping them quiet and occupied with the games–We are
not children’s programming.
• No children under 16 years of
age in the room after 10 PM.
• No Food or Drink at tables.
• Sit on the Chairs, not the tables,
or you will be asked to leave.
• Respect players and games. No
abuse of people or game items.
• Don’t bring in music, e-games,
videos or other noise makers—it is
loud enough in here!
• Leave an ID or Badge as collateral to check out a game,
• You can check out a game any
time there is open room to play! The
Game Library has over 100 games!
• Return games in the same
condition you got them (all pieces
included and put away neatly – or
you will be charged to replace the
game).
• The GM running the game is the
authority: his/her word goes.
• Clean up after yourself: garbage
goes in the trash can not on the
tables or floor.
• Keep the noise level so that others are not disturbed (don’t swear
or shout).
• You may bring in your own
games to play but you are responsible for them, not us!
Come take a break from the
crazy Con scene in the E-Gaming room. Enjoy the relaxed
atmosphere and compete with
friends on popular consoles
such as PlayStation and XBox
or take some private time to
unwind. Play the latest games
or kick back with the classics.

sound, and boy is it breathtaking. With its origins in Japan, Tech
Dance is the weapon of choice for
