Oh, not "mis-translated like the US release", huh? Tell me,
did you watch the subbed version from Anime 18 or just the dubbed versions
(in which certain liberties were taken in the dubbing, but the translation
is still quite faithful). And I wouldn't go around offering copies of a
product that is a.) Currently in official US release and b.) In release by
a company who actively monitors r.a.a.!

set, but there will probably be several categories, with winners to be judged
by guests/staff and prizes awarded. We'll have entrants register on con
weekend, so don' t worry about pre-registering for the contest. More details as
they become available.
DEALERS ROOM -

merchandise available today, from LDs to CDs to posters, cels, art books,
laminates, manga and more. Dealers booths are approx. 6x8' d10 include 2
"dealer" memberships. Check the "Dealer" box for more information.
ART SHOW AND AUCTION -
Fan produced art has long been an aspect of anime fandom, and in order to
provide a venue in which artists can showcase their art, and display works for
sale, OTAKON is sponsoring an anime art show and auction. Both Wall art such as
drawings and paintings, as well as 3-dimensional art such as sculpture, etc.
will be accepted. Art will be displayed in a secure area throughout the
weekend, with saleable pieces to be sold on Sunday.
Hours for the Art Show are expected to be:
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM Friday
10:00 AM - 9:00 PM Saturday
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Sunday
Set-up: 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM Friday
Auction: 12:30 PM Sunday
The submission deadline is June 30,1994.
Bidding on pieces will be registered written bid throughout the weekend, with
three bids to auction. Attendees wishing to bid on art will register at the art
show and receive a number. We will provide bid tags to be placed next to art
with the following information:
Artist name
Piece number
Minimum bid (or 'Not For Sale' if NFS)
3 lines of bidder number / bid amount
There is a 10% commission on all sales, and artists will be paid on Sunday for
any of their art that is sold.
Art flats are 4' X 4', and there is an $5/art flat hanging fee. However, this
fee counts towards commission payment, so if you rent two flats, and sell $200
of art ar the auction, you still only pay $20 total. If however you only sold
$80 of art, you would have paid $10. In addition to flats, we also have tables
available. Tables are 3' X 2.5' and are also $5 each.
All work must be your original art. No reproductions of others' work is
permitted. That is not to say you may not submit pictures of existing anime
characters, etc., but you may not submit copies of pictures done by someone
else. Hand-painted merchandise such as mugs or T-shirts will be allowed at the
discretion of the OTAKON art show staff.
Normal safety regulations must be observed. Please do not submit anything with
whirling and spinning blades, emitting toxic odors, or flames. I know this
sounds ridiculous, but hey, it has to be said.
HOTEL INFORMATION -
OTAKON '94 will be held at the beautiful Days Inn Penn State, 240 South Pugh
St., State College, PA. The Days Inn features dining on premises, an indoor
swimming pool, and is just about perfect for a con our size. Convention room
rates are not firm yet, but are guaranteed to be a flat rate of $62 per night
OR LESS. Call 1-800-258-3297 for reservations. Mention OTAKON '94 to get the
discount rate.
A NOTE ON PARTIES...
If you plan to hold a room party, please request a "party" or "loud" room when
you make your reservations. The hotel reserves the right to remove guests who
disturb others, so do yourself a favor and get a "wild-party-authorized" room.
WEAPONS POLICY
Costuming is allowed, and in fact encouraged, at OTAKON '94. However, in
respect for the other hotel guests, a "non-realistic" weapons policy will be in
effect. Basically, if it looks like a real weapon, it is NOT allowed. If on the
other hand it looks like a giant pink cartoon bazooka with tentacles, fine. Con
staff and the hotel reserve the right to judge whether a weapon is "realistic"
or not.
WHERE THE HECK IS STATE COLLEGE, PA?
State College is located at PA's geographic center. It's only a few miles off
I-80 (coming from NY/NJ) OR route 22/220 (coming from Pittsburgh and west) OR
it's right on route 322/76/83 (from Baltimore, Philadelphia, or south)
VOLUNTEERING -
Want to be a part of OTAKON from the inside? Become an OTAKON gopher. What's a
'gopher' you ask? Basically, it's a volunteer who would assist the con staff
throughout the weekend performing such tasks as monitoring the video program,
running errands, and relaying messages. All you need to do is give 8-12 hours
of your time to the con.
What's in it for me? Well, we've reserved a few rooms for 'gopher crash space',
so if you volunteer at the convention, you might not need to spend extra money
on a hotel room. Don't expect a great deal of privacy though since you'll be
sharing these rooms with other OTAKON gophers. In addition, gophers who
complete 12 hours of time at the con will have their registration fee refunded
at the end of their shift. Also, we will provide food throughout the weekend.
4+ hours Friday gets you free room and food Friday night. 8+ total hours by
Saturday gets you free room and food Saturday. 12+ total hours gets your
registration fee refunded.
Gophers will be taken on a first-come, first served basis on Friday. We only
need a limited number of volunteers, so arrive early to ensure your place on
the OTAKON team.
