.o. Man! I cosplay Female Garterbelt! Dang it, I wish I could do it, but I have to pack light and honestly my wig takes up so much room. q.q The one time someone would actually know who the heck I am!!

I'm sorry for not answering until now- Yes, that is allowed because it is can be sealed by the staff. For swords, blades, knives: As long as Anime midwest Con-Ops Staff can seal them, then they are allowed. If they aren't, please keep it in a safe place away from the crowds. Please do not break/cut the seal until your Anime Midwest event is completely over.

Last year, a few people brought in Alcoholic beverages, though, only drinking at the bar or in your room is alright. But it's not allowed in any events rooms or panels. I remember last year, a woman in glasses made people very upset and annoyed- making them feel like they were in prison or something when she told them that she has to smell their water bottle/container for liquid for any traces of alcohol before they could be let into the rave. Annoying, but there was a reason for that, so please be careful about handling your alcohol.

If you have gotten the email that they have mailed out your badge, then you will get it in mail. However, if they tell you that you were not picked to have your badge mailed out, then you'll have to get them at registration.

All depends on what the panel is and timing. IM not sure how lines will be done this year, but if it's anything like last expect a decent amount of time devoted to waiting in line (bring something to do or better yet strike up a conversation in the line!). From my understanding the concerts will be back to back with quick stage changes, and anyone who attends one of the concerts is not required to leave when the next one is setting up (correct me if wrong anyone), so there technically won't be much if any of a line for those. Guest panels and popular themed panels is the ones you'll have to judge yourself. Always allow yourself plenty of time, and if it's a panel you really really have to go to I say allow yourself as much time as possible. Sorry I can't be of any 'real' help. Midwest will be am amazing convention none the less (:

Just curious: what's everyone planning on cosplaying? I don't have the days decided, but I'm going to be cosplaying Nagisa (Free! Iwatobi Swim Club), Armin (Attack on Titan), and Kotetsu (Tiger & Bunny). I'd love to meet up and possibly do photoshoots or something with people cosplaying from any of those, but I'll totally talk to just about anyone!
