AAC Day 1

AAC is located at the Radisson Hotel on 700 Elm Street, Manchester, NH. It has a lot of banks and restaurants surrounding it. The Radisson Hotel is located directly across the street from a city bus stop, and two blocks from the Boston/Concord Express bus terminal. It’s surrounded by a big park.

Inside the hotel, there's the dealership room where a ton of people set up stuff for others to buy, mostly anime-like stuff like pins and posters. There are a bunch of ‘Salons’ where they hold panels, those are scheduled performances with a group of people running it. They can be interactive with the audience or all scripted. Right beside the dealership room, there’s what we call the game room with a bunch of games like DDR and Guitar Hero.

Right outside of the hotel there's a park you walk into with not many trees. It was sunny but cold so we didn’t go out there much. There were mostly pigeons flying around too. There was also a big rock in the middle of the park. It was way too big to even nudge.

I was there Friday Afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday.
