Oh neato! I'll have to add that to my list of things I should really go to. No can do this though. Have you been to it before or is this going to be your first time going to EVO?

Same for me. I'll be dressed in a captain hat with muscular arms on my shoes so feel free to chat with me if you see me, which should be easy peasy.

Hello! How long has it been since the last time you went to an anime convention? This kind of makes me picture a wandering man in the desert about to back flip delicately into adventure.

This is my favorite topic I've seen thus far. Kudos. Ahhh I would love to meet you and see those cosplay!

Oh gosh the first part of this description sounded like the friend I'm going to this con with. I have a feeling you two would get along. Ahhh SPG is one of the main things that made this con irresistible for me. I love their style! Oh gosh I can't wait to see the Vanellope one!!

Steam powered Giraffe was one of the main temptations for me. I am extremely excited to see them and hopefully chat with them. Make sure you eat and drink! Some people tend to forget due to the excitement.

Same here, first time at anime midwest, last con I went to was anime central as well. I'd be happy to be your friend! I'll be dressed wearing a captain hat and muscular arms on my shoes. Hopefully I'll be easy to spot with that. I'm really intrigued about this new twist you speak of. Any hints? My tumblr is http://oddmonocle.tumblr.com/ Feel free to contact me here or there.

Hello! I've been to conventions before but am new to anime midwest as well. I wouldn't mind meeting up with you and having a hug fest with some chatting. I'm a 19 year old lady and will be dressed with a costume I made up involving a captain hat and some muscular arms on my shoes so I'll probably be pretty easy to spot.

Ahh I'm going with a friend of mine who is completely and utterly in love with Kingdom Hearts. I'm a fan of it too but I could never surpass her love for it. It would be great to meet up with you! Dos: Make some plans but be try to be spontaneous, talk to people, ask questions, and explore! Just be respectful and considerate of others and you should be fine for the most part. MAKE SURE YOU EAT AND DRINK! Quite a few tend to skip meals or not hydrate properly and that can lead to trouble easy peasy.

Congrats! The most important tips/advice I can give you is to be spontaneous. It's alright to have plans but for these kinds of events you tend to have a lot more fun going with the flow. If you have specific things you want to see, check the schedule and set a reminder. For panels, make note of ones you find interesting or think you would enjoy throughout the day. Panels are a good thing to go to if you're starting to feel tired from all the walking but still want to do something. Look around, try new things, ask questions, and feel free to chat people up. Most of the people attending are happy to converse with anyone.
