General Info
ABOUT US
Anime Conji is run by a group of local San Diego fans who have volunteered their time and effort toward putting together a great and unique convention. We have an interest in providing entertainment for like-minded individuals. Who better to bring the fun than the fans themselves? Our goal is to promote fandom culture as a whole and to foster the subculture of anime fandom in San Diego and beyond.
Anime Conji is sponsored by the San Diego Speculative Fiction Society (SanSFiS), which is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) educational non-profit corporation. SanSFiS runs various events and conventions and provides information about science fiction and fantasy related fan activities. To find out more about SanSFiS, visit www.sansfis.org
CONVENTION HOURS
The convention officially opens on Friday at 10am. Registration opens at 10am, while Dealers hall and Artist’s Alley will be open at 11am to the public. We will then open all other events at noon on Friday. Closing Ceremonies are going to be at (TBA) on Sunday afternoon.
WEAPONS POLICY
Anime Conji PROHIBITS the following items:
- weapons prohibited under California law
- see the California Dangerous Weapons Control Laws ( http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/dwcl/ )
- in particular, note California penal code sections 12020, 12550-12556, 653k, and 626.10
- real firearms ( working, disabled, or otherwise)
- metal blades (knives, swords, etc.)
- loaded projectile weapons (airsoft guns, disc guns, etc.)
- loaded water guns or other liquid “weapons”
- any other potentially harmful weapons or props as determined by Anime Conji Operations
Anime Conji RESTRICTS the following items:
- unloaded projectile weapons (airsoft guns, discguns, etc.)
- imitation firearms
- practice swords
- any prop which could be mistaken for an actual firearm
- any other potentially harmful weapon or prop as determined by Anime Conji Operations
If you have a potential weapon or potentially dangerous prop, please bring it to the Operations office upon arriving at the convention.
If an item is prohibited you will be asked to remove it from the premises.
Restricted items may not be carried or used outside of a scheduled event or worn as part of a “hall costume” unless approved by Operations and peace-bonded. Peace-bonding means that you allow us to put a bright plastic tie on your “weapon” indicating that it has been judged relatively harmless and/or is being bound into a holder of some type that renders it so. These ties can only be removed by cutting them, making it obvious if tampering should occur.
If the item is restricted but not approved for general use it may still be approved by Operations to be carried or used as part of a demonstration or exibition at a scheduled Anime Conji event (such as a work shop or masquerade). Operations must approve the events at which such restricted items will be present.
Anime Conji Operations may be able to pre-approve some weapons and props before the convention. A final determination, however can only be made after actually handling and inspecting the object in question.
If you have any questions please contact Anime Conji Operations ( info@animeconji.org)
If Operations asks you to remove an item deemed a weapon, we ask that you take it imediately to your hotel room or off hotel property.
Anime Conji will ask any attendee found wearing a potential weapon that has not been peace-bonded to go to the Operations office for approval.
Anime Conji will deal with repeated offenses accordingly up to and including ejection from the convention without refund.
