All tips for Stuff you should know

Service Staffs, or just what do the people who work the con do for you.

Who to ask if you have a question about most everything.

Medical

Pablo 'Doc' Fraga and his merry band circulate around the con areas all day and often until late at night. Whether it's a headache or a heart attack, our medical crew is qualified to deal with it. If you arrive at A-Kon with a serious medical problem, please make yourself known to Doc so he can be prepared for your particular emergency.

Children's Programming

In response to the rising number of attendees with children, ;) we've added a special place for kids to have fun, see some video, and play. Potty-Trained kids up to age 8 will be handled here. Juice and snacks will be provided, they'll do crafts, etc. Real Moms oversee programming Friday, Saturday, and some of Sunday. The service costs $2.50/hour (subject to change at anytime) and a child may be signed up for only a single 4hr session per day. Donations of age-approprate toys, videos, or snacks are welcome (the toys are only borrowed- you will get them back.)

A-Kon TV

Streaming from multiple racked tera-drives near you, check channel (whatever the hotel gives us) on your hotel TV for sizzling programs of originating Live from the Con. Schedules and announcements update on the half hour. Additional programming will air, such as highlights of Opening Ceremonies, CosPlay, video from past conventions, etc. Don't miss GrovelCam, or the further adventures of Hedgy and his pals.

Kon Suite

The Pleasant Posse of Penut Butter Pushers staff A-Kon's traditional Kon Suite. Check with info desk for Suite hours.

Hotel Front Desk

If there is a problem or question with your room in any way, then contact the Front Desk. A-Kon is not responsible for hotel reservation errors. If you have lost your room key, hotel staff can issue you another. The front desk can also direct you to the gym, pool, sauna, restaurants, or gift shops. Please be patient and polite with them. Thousands of people will be checking in, most arriving Thursday and Friday of the con, and the hotel staff can be harried and overwhelmed.

Hotel Internet Access

Most guest rooms are wired for high speed internet access at $9.95 for up to 12 hours of continuous usage from the time of log on.
