A-Kon Itinerary
Meeting times and places:
Bells - Meet @ the Kells’ residence, 8 a.m.
Whitewright - Meet @ the library, 8:15 a.m.
Those departing from Bells will go to the library to meet up with the rest -- even if you are driving on your own, please meet at the library at 8:15 so we can stay together. We will travel to the DART Bush Turnpike station located at1300 East President George Bush Turnpike (Bush Turnpike frontage road east of North Central Expressway and west of Plano Road). You can view a detailed map here. The Adam’s Mark Hotel is located between Pearl Station and St. Paul Station in Dallas.
We should arrive at the con and have our tickets by around 11:00 a.m. You can preview the con schedule to see if there are any particular events you’d like to see. The dealer’s room (where stuff is for sale) closes at 6 p.m., so we will start our exit at 5 p.m. and depart by 6:00 at the latest.
After we return to the DART station, we will be going to the Genghis Grill located in front of Collin Creek Mall. They serve a “make your own” stir-fry – you’ll get to pick the meat, veggies, and sauce – and the chefs will stir fry it for you.
Our departure time at the con and how busy the restaurant is will affect our return time, but we should be back the Whitewright/Bells by around 9 p.m. If parent(s) want to call for an update but if their child doesn’t have a phone, you can call Chris at 903-821-7448.
Don’t Forget!
- You’ll need $35 payable at the convention door for your ticket.
- Either bring money for a snack at lunch, or you can bring your own – you can bring a backpack, waist pack, etc. We recommend not taking purses or totebags, as it’s difficult to keep up with them at a busy con. It’s much easier to keep up with something that stays with you.
- You’ll need $10 for dinner – this will be given to the adult chaperone at the beginning of the day, so it won’t be spent in the dealer’s room. J
- You must keep your con ID with you at all times (in most cases it’s a name badge); this is your pass into the various rooms at the convention, and if you lose it, you will have to pay for a replacement.
- You can bring a camera, but some parts of the con may restrict video/photos.
- Check out the FAQ on A-Kon’s website for more general “What’s a con like?” questions if you’ve never been before. Both adult chaperones have been to many sci fi/fantasy cons over the years and will also answer any questions you have, though some questions may have answers specific to A-Kon that we won’t be able to answer.
