Sorry for the incovence, we have to get new staff together as we didn't have enough dedicated members. Also the finacial status of the convention wasn't there because we weren't able to get registration up soon enough.  We would have had it only for 2 months before the convention and need the money a month before the convention to pay the college.  So we have to get registration open sooner when we start up our event again.  We want to make sure this is going to a success and fun for everyone.

I am proud to annouce Ani-Quest our first anime convention here in Arnold Maryland.  It will be held at Anne Arundel Community College.  We have several plans for this conventions a copy of what we have planned so far will be listed below.  This convention will be held October 8th and 9th 10am-midnight both days.  The convention has a limit of 550 registrations.  We are doing 450 pre-reg and 100 at the door.   It is vital that we get pre-registration early for it will be a great assistance in running the con. As for hotel rooms to stay at. We will post more information on local hotels. You will have to provide your own transportation to and from the con. We will also post local bus schedules and available taxi services if you need them. We appreciate your coroporation.

Resin models will be permitted as long as they are marked with clearly visible non-removable orange tip.

Behavior with weapons

Misuse of any wooden weapon, such as swinging it in a public area or causing hazards to passerby, will get your privilege revoked immediately.
If we deem a weapon to be unsafe for the con, we will ask you to store the unsafe weapon in your car or back at your hotel room. If there is a repeat offense, we will escort you out of the convention and off of convention grounds so that you can place the weapon in your private quarters; if the weapon is illegal, we will turn it in to the appropriate authorities.
All objects brought into the convention may be checked and considered by AniQuest staff. You may be asked to have your weapons peace bonded at the con.
All questionable items will be decided on a case-by-case basis. Anything deemed illegal outside the convention is deemed illegal inside the convention premises. All of AniQuest's staff decisions on weapons are final. Policy maybe subject to change without prior notice.
