And Just Where Have You Been?

Why…putting together the pieces of all your classic favorite Anime Convention activities…and a few new ones as well!

Be on the look out over the next few days as the final pieces begin to snap in place for YOUR newest convention in Albuquerque.

Look out for:
New Hotel Info
Anime University Updates
Scheduled Events Confirmations
…and a few more surprises (can you say voice actor finalizations and cosplay competition?!)

Look out, Albuquerque: we’re bringing the heat! The only question now is…where are you?

Don’t Pay A Dime To Get Into Otaku Mex!

Let’s face it, you LOVE anime. I mean, REALLY love anime. You go to the conventions to see your friends, cosplay, and of course buy stuff!

It’s hard enough to buy the things that you came for, let alone pay for the badges, not to mention having to pay for a room, right? Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just buy a room, and get your badges for free, so you can focus on what you really want to focus on? Don’t you wish some convention would do that for you?

Well…we just did.

Here’s how it works:
Book your room for Friday AND Saturday using our specific discount code “OTA” and receive a 3 day badge for every person registered to your room (hotel max is 4 people):

1-800-embassy - mention otaku mex
embassysuites.com - this will ONLY work with the discount code

The Not So Fine Print (this is stuff you need to know, no need to hide it!):
1) It is VITAL that you mention or use the discount code, as we are working closely with hotel to bring you this great deal. If you aren’t on their list of rooms are for Otaku Mex, we will be unable to provide you the free badges!
2) This offer is only available to the first 75 rooms per night. Don’t miss out!

Worried about whether or not the room is worth it?
Let us ease your concerns! The Embassy Suites Albuquerque features spacious two-room suites with a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast every morning and a nightly Manager’s Reception*. Enjoy a relaxing day in the indoor heated pool, whirlpool, sundeck or fitness center. Rejuvenate at the Spa Botanica day spa. And experience a casual breakfast, lunch or dinner in the Cyprus Grille.

Run A Panel For Otaku Mex

If you’re really interested (and we’re hoping you are!), in running a panel for this year’s convention, please contact us with the following information:

Your Name:
Email:
Phone Number:
Name of the Panel:
Description (think about this one carefully, it will most likely be copy/pasted STRAIGHT into the program guide):
Equipment/Prop Needed (whether you are providing them or you need us to. This helps us determine any power/space/lighting considerations for you…):

And just to spice it up: For every two panels you put on, that’s a badge. So if you’ve got a crew of 4 people, and need a badge for everyone…that’s 8 panels we’ll want to see. They can all be different, but no more than two of the same thing. Savvy?

We’ll need a form for EACH different panel you’ll want to do. We will review your submission, and get back with you as to whether or not your panel might is too great, or when you’ll be going on!

HUGE updates on the site and forums!

We won’t spam you…or survey you…promise!

Latest info:
We’ve opened registration on our site and our myspace profile page!

Alright, that was pushy and mean. Sorry.

Till next time,
OtakuMex Alpha Monkey
