Hi! I just booked a suite this morning and my group still needs two more people to fill it up. We are planning on staying at the Holiday Inn Chicago - Elk Grove which is about a 15 minute drive from the convention. Not sure how far away from the convention was too far for you, but feel free to let me know if you're interested and we can talk more about it!

I actually just booked a suite this morning and my group is still looking for two more people to join us. Let me know if you're interested.

Steam Powered Giraffe is coming back to Anime Midwest and we're exited! We also have a Facebook to keep you guys updated on their events and the meet up. Anything you're looking forward to? Exited for a robot cosplay and/or Fanbot cosplay? Let us know! c: https://www.facebook.com/groups/625744957444838/?ref=br_tf

WELL So apparently there will be an OFFICIAL TG meet up, I guess there will be no need for an unofficial one. We will be going to the 11-12 one on Saturday. I hope it is as packed as ACEN's! See you all there ^^

So I've been planning for months on running a meetup/photoshoot for Steven Universe at con this year. I originally tried submitting an official event, but I was never contacted back by staff after it was agreed that they would try to get my event on the schedule. There was never a specific time or place agreed upon, just that it should be sometime Saturday afternoon/evening. I did end up submitting an unofficial event instead because of this, but now there's an official event for it within an hour of my unofficial event. My question is: for anyone who has submitted a MEETUP event before, have you been contacted about specific times/places for your events and that it was added to the events list, or not? I'm super paranoid about this, and I've been completely on top of this until I saw the official schedule. I have no problem with rescheduling my unofficial event (which I've already started to do), but my main concern is whether I'm running the official event or not. My main reason for this is because as lovely as AMW seems, they haven't been running for very long and they seem like they might need more staff to help them, and I've never run an event before at a con. I'm not sure how they run things here and I'm just worried about keeping everything running smoothly. Thanks for any help, it's greatly appreciated!

So my ride just butted out, I live in the Madison wi area. I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a ride to anime Midwest for the weekend. If you want, if you pay for gas I can pay for parking. If interested give me a call at (608) 835-6765 (that's a home number so don't text it)

I'm not in this fandom but I haven't seen anything on it so far. You could probably submit one. I don't know when the official schedule will be out either so who knows.

Does a ramen costume count as a meme costume? Because it's not really an anime and it's meant just for fun. Yes, I am cosplaying as ramen. :P
