News for Anime South 2005:

Anime South announces 2005 convention dates

Anime South is honored to announce the first and only anime convention in northwest Florida will be held on November 18-20, 2005 at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa. The convention is in the beautiful beach resort city of Destin, Florida.

The Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa is the largest luxury hotel on the most beautiful beach in the United States (as ranked by The USA Today for the past 5 years). This 2,400 acre resort boasts 73 holes of championship golf, 13 tennis courts, the country's largest charter fishing boat fleet, 3 indoor and outdoor pools, a private beach, a full service spa, 2 whirlpools, scuba diving, and unparalleled shopping centers.

Only suites with 2 Double Beds, 1 Queen Sofa Bed, and 1 two-level Bunk Bed are being offered. The convention has arranged a limited number of suites at an unheard of price of only $99 per night, so it is highly encouraged to book your hotel room as soon as possible. Even the $30 resort fee has been waived. Registration for the convention itself is also open by mail and online at http://www.animesouth.com

With over 32,000 square feet of meeting space, the Hilton Sandestin Beach is more than qualified to hold a convention of this size. There is enough space for 3 video rooms, multiple panel/gaming rooms, an artists' alley, a large dealers room, and a huge main events room. This is one convention that should not be missed.
