Hi! I was hoping that some of you could give me some feedback on the masquerade. I unfortunately missed it due to some parking issues. I am interested in participating next year but I'd first like to hear how it went this year. Did anyone tape it? Thank you!

Note for next year. The extra garage next to the Hyatt randomly closed around 5pm. So when my friends and I came back from getting food we couldn't attend the night events at the convention. You could see open spots on the first floor so I'm pretty sure being full wasn't the reason it closed. We stayed at a hotel about 5 minutes away. Seems like your best bet for this particular convention is to stay at a hotel within walking distance.

I took a lot of pictures and met some very cool people over the weekend, but one cosplay really bothered me. She was Chie Satonaka and had a really awesome costume, but when I got a photo with her something felt off. I felt some major deja vu for a while, but shrugged it off, thinking I was just tired. When I got home I was looking though some old photos and then it hit me... http://imgur.com/4tOApar My memory is really slipping on me...

I barely remember the next part, since it happened so fast and I was on the opposite side of it all. All I really saw was a Germany cosplayer and that Denmark kinda brawling it out. It wasn't a full "slam-face-on-the-floor" kind of brawl, but just enough to say, "Hey guys, knock it off". I have no idea who started it or how it was initiated. However, this Denmark has a history of violent tendencies, which I will not go into even more. All I saw was a couple of light kicks from the Denmark and the Germany cosplayer defending himself from her Axe. Sorry if this was put into individual posts- it was the only way I could do this. But yeah, this is what I witnessed on my own personal accord.

Looking to get in touch with someone from con ops regarding a missing game. If anyone has any information or knows where it is, Please contact me asap. It's very important that we get it back. All i know is that it was given to con ops Sunday of the con.

I'm actually looking for pictures, if anyone has any with a Discord, Queen Chrysalis, or Nightmare Moon/Luna please send them my way! You can send them to:: http://batsybunny.tumblr.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/mariah.hopper.1 thanks :D

For my first con I must say, anime Midwest was pretty amazing! Sure, it had some flaws (We all know what...) But I really enjoyed myself there! I cosplayed as Hatsune Miku and Nohara Rin over the weekend. If you got to meet me and we never exchanged tumblrs and stuff let me know here, I would love to stay friends! I got to meet some awesome people and see allot of amazing cosplays! I have a video up and at least two more to be uploaded if anyone wants to check them out and let me tag you. Only a photo slide is up but the actual video I got will be on YouTube in the next few days. YouTube: halloweensgirl If you see yourself comment on the video the time and either a tumblr or YouTube account I can link you too. Thanks again everyone! Hopefully see you next year!

Nice to meet you all. this was my first anime mid west and i had a ton of fun! if you saw me and wanna chat feel free to shoot me a message or add me on face book =D. I look forward to hearing from you https://www.facebook.com/david.haranczak

I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm looking for any pictures/video of the hookah smoking zebras saturday/sunday at the con. We were out side of the fishbowl at around 4-5ish I'd say. Thanks if anyone can help!

hello! my hubs and I were Nausicaa and Lord Yupa in the masquerade, we won best in show and i didnt get any pics of us up on stage :( if anyone got any of us that would be so awesome and i'd be so grateful if you could post them or share the link! <3

So It's my first time at Anime Midwest and I feel like I don't know anyone except the 2 people I came with >.< I've got a table in Artist Alley, so I can't go and do much, but when AA closes tomorrow at 6, I wanna do something FUN and meet some friends.... But I'm too shy to approach people >.>;; I tried the rave tonight, but it wasn't my thing - I'm more into industrial & trance music, like VNV, Crystal Method, etc. So that was sorta sad, since I love the goth/industrial/rave clubs in Detroit (where I'm from). I'll be dressed as cybergoth Vinyl Scratch / DJ Pon-3 tomorrow all day, find me and make friends? *super shy smile*
