GENERAL INFO
From the Desk of...
the Anime Detour Chairman
I’d like to personally welcome each of you to Anime Twin Cities Inc. - Anime
Detour 2016. It’s an exciting time for us as we continue to grow with our
primary focus of creating a fun and exciting event for you, your friends, and
your families. The world of anime is an exciting area which we all enjoy, and
each year we’ll continue to meet and bring this convention together for that
reason.
Here’s an idea of what you can expect over the next few days: mecha-themed
scavenger hunts, Friday and Saturday night dances, cosplay competition, anime premieres, room parties,
and much more…
I also want to take a moment to thank our partners who have helped us and the community; American
Red Cross Twin Cities Chapter, Convergence Events, Doubletree by Hilton-Bloomington, Funimation,
Geek Partnership Society (GPS), Microsoft, Sentai Filmworks, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and This
is Geek. Thank you for the support in helping this culture grow.
Before I close, I’d like to thank those who are most important to us: you. Thank you for attending this
event and sharing our excitement in this genre. We couldn’t hold this event if it wasn’t for you. You, the
fans, are the ones that make a difference and because of that, Anime Detour will continue to do everything
it can to make this weekend as fun-filled as possible.

Anime Detour Members,
Conventions are like Christmas. Coming back to a great convention is like
coming home. Your convention friends are like family members you may only
see once a year. We each have our own individual convention traditions and
the months leading up are spent in hectic planning. There is never enough
time. When it’s over there will always be one more thing you wish you could
have done or seen. Most of us will leave having spent more money than we
planned and vowing to be better about it next year. Many of us will carry with
us the memory of our favorite year expecting that each year lives up to that memory, hoping that this year
will be better.

WELCOME
ANIME DETOUR 2016
I look forward to Anime Detour every year. When our 5,000+ members get together, there is a feeling of
excitement, of fun, of friendship and community. Anime Detour only lasts three days but at Anime Twin
Cities we believe that that feeling doesn’t have to. We’ve worked to
bring you year round events and community involvement. Together
we can make that Detour feeling last all year long. To find out more
visit our room party in Cabana 102, visit our panel on Saturday at
10:30am in Atrium 3, or visit our website http://animetwincities.org.

BADGE PICK UP: A government-issued photo ID must be
shown before we will issue an adult badge. If you cannot
prove your age, you will be issued a minor badge. Anime
Detour reserves the right to not issue a badge to anyone
who can’t prove their identity. You cannot pick up anyone
else’s badge but your own, even if you have their ID. Anime
Detour encourages everyone to bring proof of payment in
the event that you are not listed in our books. If you are not
listed in our books and cannot provide proof that you’ve
paid, we will not issue you a badge. Anime Detour is not
responsible for incorrect information due to illegible handwriting or incomplete forms (online or mail-in).
Pre-registered individuals and groups may pick up their

BADGE REPLACEMENTS: You are responsible for your badge
once it has been picked up. If you lose your badge, you can purchase a replacement for $60 (cash only). A partial refund of $40
is possible if the original badge is found and returned by 10pm
Saturday night. Your name must be listed in the registration
database to purchase a replacement.
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 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.
Operations
The Operations department is here to answer any questions you have.
Need directions to Gaming? Not sure how to sign up for Cosplay? We
are here to help! We are also the place to go if you’ve lost something at
con. Please feel free to stop by room 215 on the second floor and pick
our brains for what you seek!
Also, don’t forget: if you lose track of something during the convention (but don’t realize it until after the con), send an email to
[email protected] for inquiries.

Room 215, 2nd Floor
FRI: 9:00am-SUN: 7:00pm
Thanks to all of our volunteers for making Anime Detour happen.
Without you, Anime Detour wouldn’t be here. If you haven’t volunteered before, it’s not too late to join in on the fun and help out. You’ll
find us in Room 132, manically plotting ways to find more consuite
badgers. So if you’re curious about how Detour is run, want to give
back, or find yourself with a few free hours and nothing to do, we’re
not opposed to bribing you with prizes to do our bidding. Please check
in five minutes before your shift or you will lose it to someone else.

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. To view our full harassment policy, please see our website.
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 our Safety department
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. Our Safety staff 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 Safety staff. 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 Safety staff or Operations (Room 215).
15. EMERGENCIES: In the event of a medical emergency,
please contact convention or hotel staff for assistance or
dial 911.
GENERAL RULES
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 (Room 215) or consult with Safety staff.
GENERAL INFO
Weapons Policy
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.
Live steel should be left in the sheath (or scabbard) and peace-bonded at all times. No fighting! This
includes sparring and play fighting. Items that are confiscated by Safety might not be returned to you. Use
common sense; respect your fellow attendees.
Hotel Policies
The most simple rule is this: Don’t 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 Detour’s hotel department
is available 24 hours, helping Detour’s staff, members, and the hotel staff 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. This includes vaping and e-cigarettes, per the City of Bloomington and
the DoubleTree’s Policy. To accommodate our attendees who choose to smoke, we have provided a smoking
tent in the East Courtyard.
SIGNS: You may post non-adhesive signs with approved blue painter’s 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 isn’t 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 authorized sellers in the Dealer Room and Artist
Alley.
PROHIBITED ITEMS: Drones, GoPro cameras, hoverboards or 2-wheel balance boards, and in-line skate
shoes are not permitted within the hotel property, or in any convention spaces.
PARKING INFORMATION: Although there is a significant amount of parking at the DoubleTree, parking is still limited. Please utilize the overflow parking lots, 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 either use the shuttle
provided by Anime Detour or walk over to the convention. Shuttle bus schedules and stops will be posted
at the DoubleTree during the convention. Do not park in the lots of surrounding businesses that are not
official overflow lots. You may be towed at your own expense. Please leave parking nearest the DoubleTree for disabled persons, hotel guests, and convention dealers.
MASS TRANSIT OPTIONS: The 540 bus stops just outside the DoubleTree and connects to the Mall of
America where you can connect with buses 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.

ANIME DETOUR 2016
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 do their best to assist you
in resolving the issue.

tainer. You might have seen him in such movies as Inspector Gadget or on TV shows like
Heroes. Tadao grew up in an area of the midwest with few inhabitants of Asian heritage.
As self-defense against being signaled out in a negative way, Tadao developed a quick
sense of humor and a wide range of voices. These abilities led to his participation in
theater productions and a love for entertainment. For CyberRadioTV.com, Tadao wrote,
directed, and produced daily shows and segments for the world’s first 24-hour live-streaming internet station. These skills led to his being hired as “Mr. Shake-Hands Man” for Banzai, the internationally syndicated
game show.

Featured Artists
Briana Lawrence and Jessica Walsh
13 years ago Briana Lawrence (Brichibi Cosplays) and Jessica Walsh (Snow Tigra/
SnowCosplays) were two fanfiction-writing ladies who geeked out over Gundam
Wing boys and Resident Evil. Now? They’re still geeks and still have their fandoms,
but they’re also a cosplaying couple who write books, make crafts, and are generally
nerdy women. Snow is the sewer of the couple, meanwhile, Brichibi talks about
issues in the cosplay community and how the most important thing about cosplay is to love yourself and have
fun. She talks about these issues both on her page and at conventions where she gives a panel encouraging
positivity in the community. With this positive message in mind, the two have begun to offer geeky fashions
for people of all sizes, their work being featured on websites like Fashionably Geek, The Curvy Fashionista, and
The Mary Sue.
Dave Wheeler was born in Minneapolis, MN in the winter of 1987. A born
comic enthusiast, Dave spent much of his childhood with his head in the clouds and his
nose in his books. His formal education started in Georgia at the Savannah College of Art
and Design. Four years and many sleepless nights later, he graduated in the Spring of 2009
with honors. He started MIND WAVE COMICS with his buddy Samir Barrett with the
idea to bring comics back into the light. Enough with the doom and gloom; Dave wanted
to bring back the rad versus the bad. A comic artist at heart, Dave has found his calling in the graphic design
world as well, helping people brand themselves in innovative and exciting ways with his logos and websites.
He currently lives in the Twin Cities with his girlfriend Mai and their two dogs, Bupie and Sprocket.
Adam Whitlatch is a speculative fiction writer and editor. A fantasy
enthusiast from a young age, his interest in science fiction was first sparked at the age
of ten when his father played the infamous 1938 Orson Welles War of the Worlds radio
broadcast for him on Halloween. He published his debut novel, a post-apocalyptic adventure titled The Weller, in 2013. In 2014, he penned the official novelization to the animated
film War of the Worlds: Goliath. In 2015, he released his YA military science fiction novel
Birthright. He is currently writing the official novelization to the upcoming feature film Oceanus, and War
Machines, the followup to Birthright. In his spare time, Adam is a practitioner of two Korean martial arts.
He has also studied numerous weapon styles, including sai, nunchaku, and bo.

The cosplay photoshoots will meet at the Garden Court backdrop at the scheduled times. We hope that as
many of you as possible are able to make it down and get great shots. That said, we cannot guarantee a staff

Grab a snack to keep you going until you can get a real meal without missing all the fabulous fun of the
con. We’re on the lower level by the pool entrance. We have hot rice and cold pop, peanut butter and jelly,
chips, sweets, and even some fresh fruit. If you’re nice and your timing is right, we may even have ramen.
Remember, the consuite is a snack room. Make sure you grab a real meal or two each day. The hotel will
have some great deals going on hot, filling food and you won’t even have to step outside. If you do want a
break, step across the parking lot and you’ll find some old favorites.
Keep in mind, lots of people will be coming through. Stay and relax as you eat if
you’d like and then move on. Someone else needs a spot to stop awhile and eat too.
If you want to hang out longer, volunteer and earn cool goodies!
Speaking of volunteering – did you know that if you volunteer you can get into a
special consuite? That’s right! Vol-Con has meat and cheese sandwiches, breakfast in the morning, and a greater variety of snacks and foods. So go see the folks
at volunteers for more info and fuel up for the con. And always remember to help
keep the consuite clean by picking up your trash.

1. Take care of your own stuff. As cool as your stuff is, we
are too busy entertaining everyone to admire your stuff
(except in brief spurts). Plus, we are all gamers with short
attention spans! So please keep an eye on your stuff as we
can’t be responsible for it. Thanks.
2. Take care of others’ stuff. All games and consoles are on
loan from staff and attendees. If you break their stuff, they
won’t want to bring it back. We want them to bring it back.
Please be nice to the stuff that is not yours. (Plus, be nice
to the staff and other attendees. We want them back too!)
3. Clean up after yourself. If you set up a table a certain way, bring gaming materials, or rearrange
anything, put it back the way it was when you arrived once you’re done.
4. No food or beverages allowed. This is fully enforced for the video gaming area. For tabletop you can
have food and beverages as long as:
a) You clean up after yourself, and
b) You keep beverages off the gaming tables.
5. No adult-themed gaming or adult language. This
specifically includes the game “Cards Against Humanity.” This game is not allowed to be played in any of the
gaming areas either as a scheduled event or in open
play. We recognize that this game can be fun for the
adult crowd, but do you think Pikachu really needs to
know what most of those cards mean? (He’d be scarred
for life!) Just remember, we are striving for a familyfriendly environment. If you have a hotel room, you can
invite your friends to play there.
6. Table space priority goes to scheduled events. While
we encourage all non-scheduled tabletop gaming events
to go to Open Gaming, any table not in use is available
for pick-up games (please check with the room staff).
