hello, i'm going to anime midwest for my first time this year! soooo excited! but i'm interested in entering the masquerade or any hallway cosplay contest this con might have? i have tried to dig up info on registering for the cosplay contests but i'm abit confused :/ any info about registration for contests and time commitments is much appreciated! and is there any sort of hallway contest? that requires less of a time commitment? its hard to get the hubbsters to agree to give up most of his con saturday standing around backstage in costume thats why i ask :) thanks for any info!

I can find information about mainstage but I can't find anything about hall cosplay. Is there one and if so, where can I find the info?

Thanks you for those directions! That area sounds awesome, I love mexican food! Ooooohhh I just looked on that website and they have so many restaurant options! I found an Indian food and a great sounding Italian restaurant on there but it is listed under Fine Dining, so maybe that is not the best place to go when I am in costume.... lol

i live in merrerville and my frind whos my ride in hannoh ill ask him but youll need to pay of course im a fem by the way

Hello, sorry for the late reply. koalatytime - No, it's just on Saturday. And you can participate if you would like; I really don't expect anyone under 18 to show up (with myself being the exception, but I'm going to be running the timer and announcing switches), but, if they do, they will probably have their own section for their age group or with people who don't mind talking to people of that age, if that makes any sense at all. Most of the people I've had come to Speed Date ended up being at least twenty or so. gothickairi - Yes, my friend and I are indeed hosting both. :) Thanks!

I prefer to think of them as little plush charms, myself.. but whatever~ c; Only a couple days. I need to finish making them.

Head to the dealers' room and tell whoever is the person in charge that you're there to help Star Ship Cat. That's our dealer name. They can point us out. They printed a map of the dealers' room. According to the map (assuming they don't make any last minute changes) should be along the back wall of the room to your right as you come in the door to the dealers' room. Remember, I walk with a cane. Although I don't know who all of the dealers there are, none of the ones I do know walk with a cane. So if you see a dealer walking with a can, there's a good chance it will be me.

WOOAH WOAH THAT'S REALLY AWESOME!! I've never seen or heard of anyone making Kup costumes even though he's such a cool character. What kind of material did you use for it??

kizzle6429, Oh wow that's pretty far lol but at least there is an Amtrak station near you, that's convenient xD I just looked at the thread where it said "Disney Cosplayers?" and it looks like no one has arranged a meetup yet >.< my mistake... got the meetup confused with the one for Otakon lol But maybe there will be a meetup, I can't imagine why there wouldn't be, there are always a good number of Disney cosplayers wandering around. I just looked at the stats for AB and Otakon, they both have attendance over 10,000 people (Otakon last year had 30,000 people there) o___o I was not expecting those kinds of numbers. So I guess this convention is roughly the size of AnimeNEXT which was my local con in NJ

Nope I do not believe I have. I am also excited CJS ; ) Can't wait to see you all there!! Also, gonna try to see as much as I can armsjet!

Well particularly there's going to be a Steam Powered Giraffe fandom meet up at the autograph signing, and I'll be singing a parody song with a group. Also I'll be meeting them at an autograph signing, and panel which will showcase my costume. Also on Friday there's going to be formal ball, and my Spades Slick costume is just the right one to use for that event.

It's too late! XD Though it's ok. I meant to go anyways. Thank you for the feedback! -Koalaty
