Well,allow me to be the first to welcome you! Anime midwest is my favorite convention for many reasons. I am happy to answer any questions you gave about location, and so on. I also attend the dance lessons, if anything to recap what I've learned before. Because dancing is fun! Normally the dance lessons are right before the event itself, though that's not always the case. If the lesson is scheduled before the ball you will be right where you need to be (unless the dance lessons and ball are located in two separate places), so you won't have to worry about a line. If you are not part of the dance lessons you May have to wait outside in a line for the ball. I believe this happened my frost year back in 2013, correct me if wrong anyone. So it really boils down to the final schedule release, which should be out in the next week or two. So look for those times! You boyfriend will be fine and comfy not wearing a tux (: mine wears black slacks and and button down purple shirt usually. Maybe I'll see you there! Your steampunk look sounds awesome! And to make this even longer I would like,to end by inviting you to the raffle and cosplay bingo events I have planned over midwest weekend. You can win cool prizes for playing cosplay bingo and awesome prizes for taking part in the raffle! If you are interested please see the website or email me: http://cosplayingcommunity.webs.com happycosplayer@gmail.com Have a great day!

Dunno if you guys would be interested in this or not, but I am hosting a Raffle over Midwest weekend and one of the items being raffled off is a beautiful Tokyo Ghoul Wall scroll.

That would be neat, the only thing is I don't really know the area well enough to do something like that. However, your plan sounds mega fun. I'll keep you posted, I'm gradually making a prototype chart if you'd like to knock some ideas around later.

I expect it will be released the second week of June.
