We took a few days off to realize that there's LESS than 2 WEEKS until #ANTHERIA !
We hope it doesn't freak you out as much as it did us.

CORRECTION: Actually, Pre-Reg ends at 11:59 p.m. TONIGHT.

That means there is still time to get a Pharaoh membership and join our GOH on the yacht.
Pharaoh memberships will NOT be available at the door!

http://www.antheria.org/

Don't Forget! You've only got until the 15th to Pre-Reg for #Antheria 2011! http://www.antheria.org/

Hello Antherians!

We're extending our online registration!

As you know, our online registration closed on September 1st. This would
be the last time you would have the opportunity to register online, and
the last chance you would get to register as a Pharaoh Level member
until next year.

At least it WOULD have been.

You have written to us and made your voices heard. And your biggest
request... more online registration time. So, that's what we did!

Online registration for Antheria has been extended until September 15.
That leaves you 10 more days to register for Antheria online. After
that, don't worry. You can still register at the door. But remember,
this will be the last opportunity you have to register as a Pharaoh
Level member and get a ticket on our celebrity filled yacht cruise!

To register for Antheria 2011, go to https://www.antheria.org

We'll see you there!

Hey all you Antherians!

Remember to Pre-Register online for Antheria before September 1st!
Pharaoh level memberships (our supersponsors) can *only*
register online & will have a special dinner and be invited on board our
exclusive Guest of Honor Yacht Trip!

If you haven't heard yet, Antheria's location is moving hotels. So, if you haven't yet, please switch your reservations.

We have full details on the website: http://www.antheria.org/CityOf/Anth.....s/Default.aspx



But if you're wondering if this new location is going to be worth it, we have some pictures of the new area to share:

http://www.antheria.org/CityOf/Anth.....esternSunrise/

Among the pictures you will find the private beach we have acquired for attendees for Sunday. It has a sanded beach, water slides, grassy picnic area, and more.

And, as a special surprise to super sponsors (Caesars), we have acquired a yacht scheduled to take a private tour of the bay along with our special guests for a private sea faring party with entertainment and refreshments provided. If you're a Caesar, be sure to be prepared to set sail for a short tour between 4pm and 7:30pm on Sunday. (Note that attendance to this event is limited for Caesars and special VIPs only).

If you're coming for event programming and to shop through our dealers room, the best day to arrive will be Friday because most of our traditional convention programming will be on that day. We'll get started early, and really start kicking around 10am and we wont stop until the night is over.

On Saturday though, we'll switch things up a bit for a bit of fun at public beach next to the hotel (about a 10 minute walking distance) which will be open fun for everyone. And if water is not your thing, we are a 10 minute walk from the boardwalk where there are paddleboat rentals and glass boat tours and carnival games, a tilt-o-whirl, and more.

For food, there's a vast variety all over. From the Ruby's diner across the street from the hotel, to the Cheesecake factory, to specialty seafood places. All reasonably priced.

We have a local map you can check-out for the specifics: http://www.antheria.org/CityOf/Anth.....unrise/map.jpg

All-in-all, we're looking to turn our misfortune into a great surprise filled with fun in an experience no other con has provided before.

Antheria is coming.

October 1st is right around the corner. Time is running out to pre-register.

With hotel rates at 99 dollars a night for a 4-star room (and the hotel not charging in advance) makes this con one of the most affordable and best out there. (Book online at: http://l33.it/qqc8i )

Combine that with a special discount through AirTran (with discounted flights just for attendees) and this will be an opportunity you do not want to miss.

Pre-registered attendees will get special early pick-up at registration. Get in before the At-the-Door late-comers.

Events

Antheria opens this year with Guest of Honor Stan Saki, the creator of Usagi Yojimbo, as well as featuring living performances by 2 the Ranting Gryphon, Uncle Kage, and Matt Ebel. And appearances from Special Guests – Agent Elrond and Mark Merlino.

Along with the traditional SIG panels and fursuit parade, we will have some one of a kind events like “Alcohol Appreciation” hosted by Jibba, 2, and Kage.


Special Announcements

Exclusively for California residents, we are offering a special 25% discount/rebate off our Caesar level membership. Get all the benefits for less than everyone else. (Limited Time Offer Ends Sept. 10th)
https://antheria.org/CityOf/Anthrop.....Ceasar25pctOff

We’ve updated the whole website from top to bottom and added a few new features, such as our special badge pre-view on our registration form. And now our new on-line registration system accepts Google Checkout and is fully secure! (It’s like PayPal but without the drama)
https://antheria.org/CityOf/Anthropolis/Reg.aspx

We are offering benefits such as Bid Alert on all of Art Auction Items. Instead of having to check to see if you were outbid, you are now free to roam the con and will be informed by email or text should someone out bid you. This experience is aimed at making the convention more convenient and accessible to everyone.
http://www.antheria.org/CityOf/Anth.....s/artshow.aspx



Conbook Submissions

We have a handy new digital up-load form for con-book submissions instantly. The deadline of September 10th is coming up. Have your submissions in by then.
http://www.antheria.org/ConbookSubmission

Volunteers are still needed. If you are interested in being on the awesome crew, send us a message from our contact form ( http://l33.it/y6le3 ) or visit our registration form and check the box next to “Interested in being a ConScript (Volunteering)”.
