“Nan Desu Kan began its life in 1997 at the Tivoli Student Union as a small, fan-run convention with just 200 or so attendees. These days, several hotels and more than a decade later, NDK is still a fan-run convention, but we’re the largest convention in the Rocky Mountain region with an annual attendance of more than 6,000 anime fans from around the country—and even around the world. Every year, we invite a number of industry guests from North America and Japan to come to NDK, including voice actors, directors, art directors, and others. Our guests put on panels, participate as judges in our contests, and hold autograph sessions throughout the weekend. They’ve even been known to hang out with attendees from time to time. And time after time, we hear how much our guests love NDK and our attendees because they keep asking us if they can come back!”

“Overnight sleeping facilities, there is silence, and also guarded accommodation period. Mukaan kannattaa ottaa makuupussi ja makuualusta, sillä patjoja ei ole ja kivilattiat saattavat olla melko kylmät. It is advisable to take a sleeping bag and sleeping pad, because there is no mattresses and stone floors can be quite cold.

Tilat täytetään järjestyksessä, joten majoituspaikkaa kannattaa tiedustella Infotiskiltä. Spaces make up the order, so beds can be inquired Info desk. Kaikille tarvitseville pyritään osoittamaan jokin nukkumispaikka, mutta varhain yöpuulle menevät varmistavat itselleen mukavamman ja rauhallisemman majoituksen sekä pidemmät yöunet. All people who need to demonstrate a nukkumispaikka, but go to sleep early to ensure for themselves more comfortable and peaceful accommodation and a longer night’s sleep. Herätys on Dipolissa kahdeksan ja yhdeksän välillä, erillisissä nukkumatiloissa hieman ennen kymmentä tai kahtatoista, riippuen siitä milloin ohjelma alkaa. Wake Dipoli is between eight and nine, separate sleeping a little before ten or twelve, depending on when the program starts ”
