About the Zenkaikon Raffle:Zenkaikon's annual raffle has always offered prizes of DVDs, books, and other anime-related items.

Ten dollar gift cards to either of these two stores will be raffled off every two hours from noon to midnight on Saturday, and from 9:00am to 5:00pm on Sunday. There will also be a mid point grand prize on Saturday evening of a $50 Best Buy gift card. The overall grand prize will be drawn on Sunday evening, rewarding the winner with a $100 Best Buy gift card. Raffle tickets are $1 each, and un-drawn tickets will remain in the raffle both days. Winners must present themselves during the convention to claim their prize.
http://www.zenkaikon.com/events/raffle.phpAbout the SEPTA Transit Strike:The SEPTA Transit Workers Union is currently on strike. At this point, no one is certain how long the strike will last, although there is hope that it will be resolved quickly. In the event that the strike lasts through the convention, the Zenkaikon has composed a SEPTA Strike Contingency Travel Guide, which outlines the various ways that users of public transit can get the Radisson. The staff of Zenkaikon wishes to assure its attendees that there are still a number of viable ways to get to the convention. SEPTA Regional Rail, certain SEPTA bus routes, and New Jersey transit will all continue to run during the strike. Full details on options can be found in the Guide. Attendees who have additional questions about getting to Zenkaikon after viewing the guide can contact the Public Relations Department at
