Paypal and snail mail should reach me NO LATER THAN Aug 11th.

When sending in your payment please indicate your Full Name and the Nickname you would like to appear on the badge. I am the group contact and all tickets will be sent to me and I'll hold on to them until the convention. We will have a table in the Artist Alley again this year which is where you will need to stop to get your confirmation letter to receive your badge.

HOTEL


Anyone who stayed in the hotel last year will testify - there is nothing better than staying at the hotel - you don't miss out on anything!

Grab your buddy and partner up for your rooms! Get them early or you may miss out on your space!

Renaissance Waverly Hotel
2450 Galleria Parkway
Atlanta, GA 30339
770-953-4500

800-468-3571 (Renaissance Hotel Reservations)

NOTE! Be sure to tell them you are booking for the Anime Weekend Atlanta convention otherwise they will tell you they are completely booked up.

Also, PO Staff will have 3 rooms reserved. Once done you can possibly request to be put on the same floor if you wish by saying you wish to be next to the rooms reserved by Serina Foor.

EXTRA ACCOMMODATIONS

We all know some out of town folks come in for a little extra time to stay in city of PO. For this we have local folks who don't mind setting them up with a place to stay outside of the convention dates. The staff of PO will be staying at the hotel during convention times so please be advised that we will not have the availability on those days for people to stay with us. However, Shino and I (now that I'm in a bigger place) do have room for folks to stay before and after the convention (6 at each place comfortably - more if you utilize floor space). Please let us know if you need a place to stay when you sign up or PM either one of us.

TRANSPORTATION

For many of you folks out there who will coming in from out of town, please let us know if you will be driving, flying, going by train or pack mule.
I suggest flying if you don't drive plus that way we can arrange for bulk pickups from the airport. Or just arrange pickups in general. below are some sites to check out for airfare:

www.travelocity.com
www.orbitz.com
www.priceline.com
www.hotfares.com
www.expedia.com

Or you can go directly to a particular airline's website.

Custom PO Badges

Every year we have special PO brand badges for all the members who attend AWA. If you have signed up for the group AWA membership you are automatically on the list. If you have paid for your AWA ticket outside of the group membership and are a PO member LET US KNOW! We won't know you are attending and therefore will not have a badge created for you if this is the case. Either repsond in the thread here and request one if you are not on the lists below (see below AWA reg list for those who are signed up for a PO badge) or PM either ME or SHINO to be added.

[Shino]

Yeah... umm... I think I can make it.

[~Tsuki~]

I'll be there for sure!~ <3's So go ahead and put me on the PO badge list. ^__^ I'm not sure when I'll be getting my membership hopefully before the March 1st deadline. I'll also be getting my hotel room around the same time. ^__^ *bounces* I cant wait to see the whole PO family again!~ <3's

[Legend]

I'll be going. I don't know about hotels, though. Last year was a pain in the arse for me to organize.

[GAAZ]

Well, being that I'm trying to get a new job I don't know if I'll do the hotel or not.

But I will be at AWA...Weee!

[shadokastur]

Marysanna and I will be there! And we will bring Andrew-san with us as well... Man he's gonna be over a year old by then. *sigh*

[Ultrawolf]

I'm Blue with excitement!
(Totally In)

[Shino]

[Akanari]

[unastrike]

Awfully presumptuous of you to put me on the list without even asking me, Doot.... sheesh....

I mean, what if I had something.... cool to go to or something?

...

Yea, you're right... that's not gonna happen. Guess I'm in.
