A-KON ELECTRONIC PROGRESS REPORT 12-31-03
-----------------------------------
Just a fast note to remind everyone to Pre-Reg NOW for A-Kon 15! Don't
miss out on the fantastic 15 year celebration we're planning! The
Concert, the Anime, the Dances, The Parties, the Cake, the Guests, the
Dealers, the FUN!
You have until MIDNIGHT JAN 2 to get your stuff in the mail (since Jan.
1 is a postal holiday) to get the pre-reg lowest price of $32 ($27 if a
group registration of 10 or more, all in one envelope). After that the
price goes to $35 (which is still a good price for 72 hrs. of non-stop
entertainment! That breaks down to less than 49 cents an hour!)
(Remember that some of our stuff starts on Thursday night!)
AND we're STILL RUNNING OUR...
SPECIAL CONTEST - WIN 2 NIGHTS AT A-KON'S HOTEL!
We changed our contest a little, since it was pointed out that it was
not very fair to all those people who pre-registered REALLY early (not
many people, but a few), to leave them out of the drawing. So, ALL
MEMBERSHIPS received until Jan. 15 will be added into the SPECIAL
DRAWING for 2 FREE NIGHTS in the KON HOTEL during A-Kon! (so basically
your stay at A-Kon is free!) Which means those memberships received in
our office postmarked BEFORE Jan. 16 from mail-in, or received online,
are eligible. There will be 2 winners drawn, and we will cut a check
for the equivalent of 2 nights in the A-Kon Hotel plus tax (value: $250
plus) and send it to the winners! So get moving and GET REGISTERED!
Send a Check or Money Order to the Phoenix Entertainment address below
(PLEASE do NOT make it out to Project: A-Kon, make it to PHOENIX
ENTERTAINMENT). Or use PayPal online from the www.a-kon.com website!
--------------------------
HERE ARE THE KON BASICS:
WHEN: June 4-6, 2004
WHERE: Adams Mark Hotel, Downtown Dallas, 400 Olive St., Dallas TX
PRICES: Hotel Rooms: $125 (plus tax) for 1-4 people (you can get more in
there, just do it quietly!)
PARKING: Hotel garage - $10/day (with in/out privileges). Parking lots
across the street are $5/day. The bus and train drop off across the
street from the hotel's door, very convenient! We're working on
something with local mass transit to see if we can park in the local
park-n-rides and take the busses/trains in (normally they don't like
overnight parking, for security reasons), so parking would be free at
those train/bus stations.
(we can't encourage you enough to book your hotel rooms EARLY so that
the block doesn't get taken by any other people, and you will have a
place to stay on site! Call the Adams Mark at 214-922-8000 to reserve
your room, and mention A-KON to get the rate - you can always cancel
without penalty if you need to (up to 24 hrs. in advance) - better to
have it and not need it, than the other way around! As usual, do NOT
use any national hotel online systems, as they are not tied in with our
room blocks and you will be quoted an incorrect rate (the normal rate
for this hotel is $250 per night, with a 'special' weekend rate of $179
per night, so you see our price is WELL under their normal pricing). If
you do not call the hotel directly you may not get this rate, and you
will not be getting in with the A-Kon block, which is a bad deal for
you, AND for us. Bring friends, and split the room! (4 people in the
room makes it $31.25 per night (plus tax) and with 5 people it's $25
not bad, if you think about it!)
