Cosplay Glow Bowling
While we do not have programming on Thursday night, Cosplay Bowling at Leeda Lanes will be returning this year. It will be a $10 charge for two hours of bowling and shoes from 10pm to midnight. You do not need to be pre-registered for the convention to attend. For directions, please visit the Leda's Light House Glow Bowl website.
Anime Screenings
Video screening times are not included on the schedule above, as they are listed on the screenings page.
Thanks to one of our sponsors, Funimation, Another Anime Con will be screening the first four episodes of the dub for Spice and Wolf. The first season of this medieval fantasy economics anime will be released on December 22, and subtitled episodes can be watched on Funimation's website.
Additionally, we will also be screening the dubs of Evangelion 1.0, and the first four episodes of Soul Eater. For those unable to make these screenings, Evangelion 1.0 will be available in stores this week, and the Soul Eater episodes can be seen on the Funimation website.

Another Anime Convention is sorry to inform our attendees that Todd Haberkorn is no longer able to be a guest this year. Todd will be starting on a project that begins at the same time as the convention. We wish Todd the best of luck and apologize to anyone who was hoping to see him. Todd also wishes AAC and all of this year's con-goers good luck.
On a more positive note, the video game room will have a much-improved PC gaming area. We have permission and will be getting temporary tournament licensees from Valve for a number of titles on Steam.
The con will be providing eight systems that will be free for attendees to use. While these are not the newest of systems, you can count on titles such as Day of Defeat: Source, Counter-Strike: Source, and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch to be on the schedule. Please note that this is not a B.Y.O.C. LAN area.
More information on the PC gaming will be posted this weekend once our LAN manager finishes preparing the machines for the con.

If you have not booked your hotel room and would like to use the online form, please do so by midnight tonight. We have extended the deadline to use this form once, and we cannot guarantee that this form will remain active any longer.
Those planning to enter the Masquerade, remember to submit your application by, once again, midnight tonight. Also, those who have entered, please make sure to send any music, cues, and special lighting requests to masquerade@anotheranimecon.com by November 10.
Today's news is not just about deadlines, however. AAC would like to present the first ever Mad Tea Party. This event is based loosely on Alice's Adventurers in Wonderland, and will be on Sunday afternoon of the convention.
