I actually had this happen. My dad couldn't take me so I took my sister, but I explained to a staff member and they told me to show id and just explain. We didn't get in trouble. You can't change the name, but thats okay cause some people actually use character names for their badges. It shouldn't matter.

REMOVED AND CHANGED TO COSPLAYING COMMUNITY. New Cosplaying Community Forum! Hey! If you cosplay please consider checking out the New Cosplaying Community I'm putting together! Myself and allot of other cosplayers from the Midwest are looking to get a friendly cosplaying community going. So if it sounds like your thing, and you want to take part in some fun online and offline group events check it out! I look forward to getting this community up and running, so be sure to invite friends! Forums- http://cosplayingcommunity.boards.net/

Hey folks, Can anyone point me to the process for submitting an idea for a panel? I have an idea I'd like to implement for 2015. Many thanks.

Just wondered why there were no swag available for purchase in the Dealer Area. I would have wanted to get a memento of my first visit to Anime Midwest this year with an actual Anime Midwest souvenir (T-shirt, Pin, Small Trinket, etc.) as I am used to purchasing at least one item directly from the Convention's own booth for each convention I go to. Is this a possibility for next year?

The photos I took at the con are now available. My sincere thanks to all who attended, especially those who posed for photos. http://www.cosplayphotocollective.com/cosplay/index.php?/category/96

I found it hilarious, and wondered if anyone recorded that. If anyone has any information, I suppose you could respond to this topic, but it'd be awesome if you could email it to me at linktriforce007@hotmail.com Thanks!

I'm not sure how to delete my post, but I found her. ^_^ ...if I figure out how to delete this, I will, otherwise someone else can. XD

Hello everyone, here are my photos from the past two days. I took pictures at the Naruto Photoshoot as well. I didn't make it sunday, so that's it. Also are links to my blog and tumblr, if you are featured there and want me to tag you, list your name, or pull any pictures, just let me know.
