Hi there! My friend (22/f) and I (20/f) are planning on going the same days you are, and would love to be able to help split the cost of the room with you. We both live about an hour away from Rosemont so transportation will be taken care of, we just need a place to stay while we're there. If you are still looking for roommates we'd definitely be interested! Thanks for your time!

Hi, This is my first Year at AnimeWest. Are there any Last Exile/Steampunk cosplayers attending? I'd very much like to meet up for conversation and perhaps photos. Please post if you're available or friend me. I'm a grown-up character, and I'm working on a bustle-skirt-with-top-hat outfit for the Ballroom Dance.

I hope my Bf and I get to see ya! He'll be Jellal (nirvana arc) and/or Mystogan. and I'll be bringing Erza Scarlet's Heaven's Wheel and Nakagami armors :)

If anyone has any space for rooms at the Hyatt, please send a friend request! I don't smell bad and I'm willing to pay as much as you want!

This is my first time cosplaying and I don't have any money or skill so I can't promise the quality, but I'm making a Malzhar cosplay for myself and a Morgana cosplay for my friend from League of Legends. I'm working on group cosplays with a different friend from Death Note and Naurto and maybe Black Butler, but there is no way they'll be done in time.

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!
