Schedule Version Two

Another Anime Convention strives to deliver programming for all age brackets. In the past, we’ve expanded our content for younger children, as well as late night content for young adults… now we are proud to introduce our first 21+ event for the slightly older crowd.

Need a break from the crazy con activities? A relaxing place to enjoy a few drinks, games and feel the funk? Then come join the SOS Brigade at The Bunny Lounge! Relax in our groovy 70′s inspired lounge. This event is 21+ and IDs will be checked at the door. There will be a charge for drinks. More information on cost can be found at the cosplay/masquerade table, or at the event it self. Below is a list of rules and guidelines for the event.

With the con a little over a week away, the AAC staff is hard at working making sure to deliver you a great convention!

That in mind, we have a few more announcements. First, the full Dealers Room and Artist Alley list has been posted.

Second, we welcome back the Nerdfit crew as guests.

Remember folks, 11:59 pm tonight, October 1st, is the deadline for pre-registering for AAC.

If you haven’t pre-registered yet, make sure to get your registrations in!

We are offering our convention tshirts with just a black outline so they can be tie dyed in the arts and crafts room. If anyone is interested in this, please post the shirt size(s) you would want to get in this topic in our forums.

The Radisson Hotel is close to filling up on Friday and Saturday nights, but fear not, we have just arranged more rooms and a shuttle service to the convention at the Holiday Inn Nashua.

When you call, make sure to mention “anime” for the group. The hotel is at:

9 Northeastern Blvd.
Nashua, NH
(603) 888-1551

Update: If you would like to book online at the Holiday Inn, you can use this link or group code AAC.
