Another Anime Convention 2019 Friday Gallery
Another year and another new hotel for Another Anime Convention. The long-running New England anime con moved from the DoubleTree in Nashua, NH, where it was held in 2018 to the Radisson in Chelmsford, MA. The move to the Nashua hotel last year was a sudden change brought on by the sale of the Radisson in Manchester, NH, to the Hilton chain, which turned it into a DoubleTree.
Both the 2018 hotel and this year’s location at the Chelmsford Radisson are smaller than the hotel in Manchester, and that affected the amount of space available for events and panels, and for the dealer’s and vendors. Unlike last year, when those dealers and artists were located in a tent in the side parking lot of the Nashua DoubleTree, this year they were on the Mezzanine level of the Chelmsford Radisson, just at the top of the beautiful, curved grand staircase.
There was definitely more space to move about and to relax in the new hotel compared to last year, which was very welcome. I had room to take photos of cosplayers with enough space behind them for the background to mostly be out of focus. Also, the hotel had better lunch and drink choices than last year.
