Katsucon Still On Despite Snow! Straight from the mouth (well… the forum posting) of our Assistant Chair:
“Consider this official: we will not cancel the con unless some huge unforseen calamity that will actually shut down the Gaylord, and we’re talking hurricane, nulcear blast, meteor, or in the middle of a fight between Gojira and Gamera. I think a place that size has a generator, and during Kat-SNOW-con, already mentioned before, we had the con anyway even though people were leaving in droves. Those that stayed behind will tell you what an awesome time we had. Drum circles, singing, free food, massage circles, anime,.. you name it.
- Snow will be cleared
- Any pending snow will be light
- If you’re going to be trapped (you’re not), why not in a hotel with power, water, heat, and anime fans?
So, don’t worry. It’s on. Just get yourself here, safely, we’ll take care of you.
