* ANIMENEXT FAQ

Do you have questions about AnimeNEXT 2007? What are the conventions
hours? How do I get to the convention hotel? Are there any events
that cost extra money? I'm a parent do I need to pay to attend?

We know you have questions, so we have prepared a list of frequently
asked questions. The AnimeNEXT 2007 FAQ can be found here,
http://www.animenext.org/faq

We will also have an information desk in the lobby of the Meadowlands
Exposition Center for your convenience. This is the place to check
for any last minute schedule changes or if you have any particular
questions.

* ANIMENEXT RULES OF CONDUCT

Here are the AnimeNEXT 2007 rules of conduct:

1. Please wear your badge with the front showing at all times. Any
attendee that loses his or her badge must repurchase a membership in
order to gain access to AnimeNEXT events, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. However,
if you do lose your badge you may check with the staff to see if
someone has turned it in.
2. Please act in an orderly manner. AnimeNEXT is a family event and
attendees are asked to dress and behave accordingly. The AnimeNEXT
staff reserves the right to ask an attendee to change clothing if it
is deemed inappropriate.
3. No live steel - this includes any object made of metal which can
have an edge regardless of whether or not it is actually sharp.
Firearms and edged weapons of any sort are not permitted. All gun
reproductions must have an orange tip at the end of the muzzle. If a
gun reproduction has a firing capacity it must be empty of all
ammunition and magazines.
4. No prop over 6 feet tall will be allowed in the convention center.
5. AnimeNEXT reserves the right to deem any prop dangerous to the
general public, regardless of size, and ask for it to be put away.
6. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited. If you choose to smoke tobacco,
please do so only outdoors in places where it is permitted. Also,
please be aware that the legal smoking age in NJ has been raised to 19.
7. No large bags will be allowed in the dealer's room. This includes
bags that will not be able to fit in a crate 13"x13"x11" in size when
full. Smaller bags will be permitted at the con staff's discretion.
8. Under no circumstances are items to be left unattended. Do not ask
any member of the convention staff to watch your items for you.
AnimeNEXT is not responsible for your property and will not be
providing a place to leave any personal items including bags not
permitted in the dealers' room. Please make arrangements for these
items in advance.
9. Carrying of signs or wearing signs is strictly prohibited.
10. Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a paid
parent/guardian at all times. Any children seen wandering alone will
be directed to find and stay with his or her parent/guardian or both
parent/guardian and child will be asked to leave the convention.
11. The staff may be required to limit the number of people in any
given area or event. As a result, there will be times when attendees
will be asked to wait in line to gain entry. We understand that
waiting can be hard and appreciate your patience and cooperation so
the staff can work to keep your wait as short as possible.
12. AUTOGRAPHS: In order to ensure that we are able to accommodate as
many attendees as possible, it is necessary that anyone waiting to get
an autograph signed listens and obeys all instructions given by the
con staff including any limitations on the number of items signed and
the level of interaction with the guests. Also, please be aware that
there is no guarantee that by standing on line you will receive an
autograph. Please understand that the guests have a limited amount of
time before they must progress to their next activities.
13. Please be courteous to the guests. If a guest must leave, please
do not try to stop him/her. Additionally, if you happen to see any
guests outside of a con event, please respect their personal space and
privacy.
14. Acceptance of membership (purchasing a badge) indicates that the
attendee (or parent in the case of minors under the age of 18) has
read and agreed to the rules of conduct outlined above and constitutes
consent to the use of the attendee's image or likeness in any
recording, transmission, or reproduction for the purpose of promoting
AnimeNEXT. The AnimeNEXT staff reserves the right to revoke
membership without refund at any time for any behavior or action
deemed inappropriate or in violation of any of the rules of conduct.

*Please be aware*
Due to Secaucus law, all weapons in the dealers' room are for display
ONLY. Weapons may be purchased and then picked up at the Embassy
Suites after convention hours. Weapons must then immediately be put
in a car, hotel room, or taken off premises entirely. If you return
to the con area with the item it will be cause for immediate loss of
badge and ejection from the convention. We apologize for any
inconvenience and thank you for working with us.

* EARLY PRE-REGISTRATION PICK UP

AnimeNEXT will once again have early badge pick-up for pre-registered
attendees. On Thursday, July 5, 2007 those attendees who have
pre-registered for AnimeNEXT 2007 can pick up their badges for the
convention early from 7:00pm to 10:00pm at the Meadowlands Exposition
Center. Registration will only be open for pre-registered attendees.
New registrations may not be purchased at this time.

We also hope to allow pre-registered attendees to watch some anime in
the official AnimeNEXT hotel, The Holiday Inn Secaucus Meadowlands.
Look for information the evening of Thursday, July 5, 2007 and watch
some bonus anime as we set up our equipment for the evening.
