From the Desk of the Chairman
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Welcome All,
Hours of Operation . . . . . . 2
It’s been a busy year behind the scenes here at Anime
Detour. 2011 has seen some new organization, some
new ideas, and a whole lot of work to bring you All
Good Things!

Of course, it’s easy to celebrate the Good
Things when they’re all around us. Our staff are
phenomenal people, and the amount of planning and
effort that goes into creating Anime Detour every
year is always astonishing to see. Of course, even the
hundreds, nay, thousands of hours that have already
gone into making his convention a reality are still not
enough, and that’s where you come in.
Every year, in addition to our staff, hundreds of our
amazing con-goers step up and volunteer to help put
this together. These special people understand that
part of what we’re trying to build is a community.
Volunteering not only lets you help us do this, it also
ties you closer into that community. It gives you
standing. They know, when all is said and done, that
they can point at the amazing things that happened
here and say, “I helped make Anime Detour a success.
I am a part of this.” And although all our attendees
are, of course, a part of Anime Detour, our volunteers
are a little more so.
It’s been five years since I became the Chairman
of Anime Detour, and it has meant the world to me.
The community that has been formed around this
convention continues to grow and astound me, and I
am humbled and honored that for the past five years
I have been allowed to help guide it. When I started
out, I had a set of goals in mind that I wanted to see
completed as Chairman, and I’m happy to say I saw
them all through. There’s always more to do though,
and it’s almost time to let someone else take the helm
for a while.
Thank you all.
And while I still can, I urge you all once more:
Always take the Detour.
Kale Ganann, Chairman
Anime Detour 2007-2011

2nd Floor
of on-site registration, if available, is $60.00 for the entire
FRI: 10:00am - 10:00pm*
weekend. We do not offer day passes. Attendees will
SAT: 9:00am - 4:00pm*
be charged an additional $7.00 if their check bounces.

will be barred from all future Anime Detour conventions
No on-site registrations will be processed after
and ATC events until the debt is settled. Every attendee
normal registration hours.
is responsible for his or her own badge once it has been
picked up. If you lose your badge, you will have to pay
the walk-up rate of $60 in order to receive a new badge. You will need to provide a valid picture ID
and be entered in the registration database to receive a new badge. Anime Detour is not responsible
for badges with misspelled names or nicknames due to illegible handwriting. If you did not specify the
age of the attendee on your registration form, or if you cannot provide a valid ID that indicates that
you are 18 years of age or older, you will automatically be issued a minor badge.
Hotel
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 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 all have a smooth weekend.
Sleeping In Public Areas: The hotel and the convention prohibit sleeping in public areas of the hotel (including
the Video and Programming rooms). If you are caught sleeping you will be woken up and asked to go to your
hotel room to sleep. If you do not have a room, please either stay awake or go home.
Smoking: Smoking is not permitted in the hotel. By hotel policy, smoking is prohibited in all of the
official spaces Anime Detour inhabits, including all of the party rooms and sleeping rooms.
Sign Posting: You may post non-adhesive signs with low-tack tape, specifically beige masking tape,
on hotel surfaces such as 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. This is a
requirement of the hotel, therefore not open for interpretation or debate. If signs are posted using any
other kind of tape, they will be removed and taken to Operations. The rules about where signs can be
posted can change from year to year. If you have any questions about where it is and isn’t OK to place
your flyers, please stop in Operations and ask.
PETS: No animals except working animals. If there are special circumstances, please speak with Operations.
Solicitation: No sales are permitted outside of the Dealers Room and Artists Alley.
PARKING INFORMATION: Although there is a significant amount of parking at the Sheraton, parking
is still limited. Please carpool or use public transportation if possible. If you are staying at a hotel
near the Sheraton, please leave your car ar your hotel and walk over to the convention. Please leave
parking nearest the Sheraton for disabled, hotel guests, and convention dealers. Please remember that
hotel guests NEED to be able to park their cars.
ROOM REQUESTS: If you have a problem with your reservation or room that the hotel is unable to
correct, please visit us at Operations and ask to speak with our Hotel Team. They will listen to your
problem and advise on what the next steps could be.
Public Transportation Options: The 540 bus stops just outside the Sheraton and also connects to
the Mall of America. The transit center at the Mall of America connects you to all parts of the metro area.

Please move out of the flow of traffic when posing for photographs. An area for photo-shoots will be made

Continual violations and repeat behavior will force us to pull your badge as per order of the Fire Marshall.
9. 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.

the convention. If we catch you hassling the badgers, we will pull your badge and escort you out of the convention.
13. Anyone found without a badge in the convention area will be handed over to security. Registration ensures
that we are able to stage this convention and keep a fun and safe environment for all our members.

Room 101, 1st Floor
good thing that is Detour by volunteering. This convention is run solely
FRI: 10:00am - 9:00pm
on the power of our volunteers from the chairman on down we’re
SAT: 7:30am - 7:00pm
all volunteering to make this convention great. So whether you’re
SUN: 9:00am - 4:00pm
addicted to helping out or just looking for something fun to do for a
few hours, we’ve got a job for you.
Thanks to all the clubs that sponsored badger stations this
Three good reasons to volunteer:
year:
1. Meet new people
Geek.Kon
2. Help the con
Winona State University Anime Club
3. Respect from staff
Consuite
Come one, come all! Grab a snack to keep you going until you can get a real
meal and not miss 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 real nice and your timing is
right we may even have ramen.
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!
But remember, your mom doesn’t work here, so please pick up your trash!
As we say - this 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 don’t even have to step outside. But if you want a
break - step across the parking lot and you’ll find some old favorites.

reg yres can usually be found rockin’ out somewhere, whether animated or not. From
the loud-mouthed Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers, to Koyuki, singing with the band in Beck, he’s
always glad to shake things up a bit. He is thrilled to be able to add the roles of Uesugi Kenshin
in Sengoku Basara, Seikechi Tayama in Oh! Edo Rocket, and Abe in Big Windup to his list of new
roles. When he’s not in a booth with headphones on, you can usually find him sporting headphones
of another variety behind “the decks”. A veteran nightclub DJ of many years, Greg has really
enjoyed the opportunity of doing something else that he truly loves. From packed rooms at anime conventions, to
the legendary stage of The Knitting Factory (NYC), Greg never misses an opportunity to share his love of music with
anyone who will listen.
