Hey all. Are tickets for the Anime Midwest maid cafe still available? I can't find a spot on the site to buy any. Maybe they'll be sold at the con?

So recently I had to deal with Covid which affected my work schedule and in turn my payment schedule for a cosplay commission. I was able to place a hold on the remaining work while I sort things out, but in the meantime I anticipate that it will take at least 3-5 months to catch up on the remaining half of the cost, and that's even before shipping charges are considered. So I was wondering if it was worth turning things over to the community to help support my plans, for example a GoFundMe page. Something like this: https://gofund.me/5abfd07f Any thoughts?

I booked a room at a Motel 6 about 4min drive or an 18min walk to the convention center. Driving there from my home in Michigan and looking for some roommates if anyone is interested!

I plan on bringing some board games with to Midwest. I love teaching games to new people. Would anyone want to meet up and learn?

Hi all! I have a group of friends and I that have bought maid cafe tickets for this year for Anime Midwest. None of us have ever been to the maid cafe before and I was wondering if we have to make a reservation for a specific time? If so, where would we do that? I was also wondering if we have to spend extra money once we are actually there on the items or if that is included in the 15$ ticket? Thanks!

Hi, I am Nicolas and I am gonna be attending the Midwest this year. I have never been to Chicago before (this is my first time going to the US) and I would love to have some people to meet at the convention. I have no clue what to expect and having some people that are a bit more familiar with it would be amazing! Please message me via Vermillion#2464 on discord. Thank you and I am very much looking forward to meeting you guys! :D (I am 28, male and come from switzerland)

-Just how dangerous would a real stop sign be considered in the "dangerous items" category of the weapons policy? Look at my pfp and judge for yourself whether I am good at assessing danger levels. (Hint: I am not.) -----Can exceptions be made for the formal dance dress code? It says to avoid shorts but I planned out my outfit months in advance before realizing, and wound up with a pair of formal khaki shorts with tights underneath. -----On the subject of the dance- me and my partner broke up just before the con, so I'm looking for a new date! My discord is literally a pigeon #2526 Please note I am an adult so while I'll accept friend requests from just about anyone, I will only go to the dance with another adult.
