Ideas seem to be flying left and right in the forums. If you have any ideas to make Anime
Milwaukee the best thing ever, sign up on the forums and tell everyone your brilliant
thoughts.
If you're interested in helping out, check out this thread for more details on what we're looking for.
Last business item for now, the navigation bar has been changed a little (just a little).
Hotels now has its own main button, and the information on the dealers and artists pages will be moved to the forums (confirmed vendors/artists and hours).
This was finished a while ago, but the site code has been updated to display properly in Internet Explorer 8
Ahh! my semester is over (save for finals). This semester was a busy one for me, but now that I have some time there are a few things.
First, a big thanks to Bryan Humphrey for coming to Anime Milwaukee and taking pictures for free!
You can check out the gallery here.
Second, we have new forums! Problems with the free host prompted the switch. If you've registered for the forums before you'll have to re-register on the new forums.
The old forums will be kept as an archive.
The Forum button on the navbar now takes you to our new forums.
Lastly, Anime Milwaukee is looking for a new webmaster. Send an email to anime_milwaukee[at]yahoo[dot]com if you are interested.

Convention Hours:
Fri, Feb 27: 12pm (noon) - 12am (midnight)
Sat, Feb 28: 9am - 12am
Sun, Mar 1: 9am - 6pm
Convention Rules:
1: Be safe, or be sorry! Please guys, use logic. No horseplay or leapfrog in the hallways.
2: Bathe! Trust us, nobody wants to be crammed into a small room full of people who haven't showered in a few days
3: Be Cleanly! Please put your trash in the garbage and the recyclables in the recycling bins.
4: Be nice to one another, keep in mind that while you are at the school, you are on state property
5: No smoking! All smoking on campus must be done at least 30 ft. away from every door. (This is a Wisconsin state law)
6: You must be registered and have a badge to enter main events and rooms. This will be enforced by the staff members and badgers
7: The convention ends at midnight, which is when the Union closes. After that, you gotta go home! Or to a hotel room. No sleeping at the convention
8: All UW Milwaukee rules must be followed, otherwise you will be asked to leave the convention and you will forfeit your badge
9: No live steel or loose chains. Prop weapons must be no bigger than what can safely fit through a normal doorway. If you can't fit it through the door, don't bring it. Also, UW Milwaukee bans guns on the premises, even if it looks real, it could get taken away. If the University security asks you to put it away, put it away.
