Here's a question that just came to mind... has anyone ever had a problem with getting your ID checked while cosplaying?

I have...I had to take off my wig before the guy was convinced that it was me on the id! Even after I answered his millions of questions! He thought I was 16 and was maybe using my older sisters Id or something!
Good thing there was a nice random cosplayer there to help me put it back on!
I was Ed from FMA and the cosplayer who helped me was from Final Fantasy, which character I had no idea.

[kalajessta]

Just make sure to bring your id. Even if they ask, show them anyways. It's their job.

[Breeder]

I hope you people plan to cosplay. I want to take pictures!

[tenshi]

i might be able to come to this. the sports bar has more seating and not all the seats are the bar stools that are at the other bar.

The reason why I picked the actual bar is because it's easier to find and I don't expect too many to show up, let alone sports bars are always loud so it will be hard to have conversations.

Their sports bar is pretty spacious and not like a typical sports bar. I spent a lot of time there last year and found it to be a better bar than the other one.

If we need to, we can move there but since the regular bar is easy to find, I think that would be a good gathering place.

cool. just making a suggestion.

Hey guys, mind if I join you? It would be nice to meet a few new 21+ers here in Chicagoland! Plus if there is cosplaying involved I'll keep my costume on for a photo or two.

[GenericDreamers]

Good, I have reason to ease up at the ball. I can just get tanked afterwards!

[Hitman88]

I'll most likely show up. Big tall guy with a bottle of something, would be me.

May I ask one of you kind 21+ ACen goers to help me check-in on Wednesday at the Embassy? I'll have a fresh box of Pocky for your services rendered! I just need someone to be there who's 21 and over for the sake of their 21+ policy requirement for check-in. How sad, I turn 21 in the first week of July -.-

Sorry, but I don't think any one will. And I know I won't for someone I don't know personally.

Keep this on topic about the meetup only.

[Isamu]

So it is Friday night right? I will be there after eating at Gibson's across the street so hanging at the bar sounds good. See you all there.

Yep, Friday night at midnight, but you're welcome to be at the bar earlier ^^;;

[Isamu]

Probably will show up around 10:30 or 11.

[bunnygirl186]

Oh man I would love to go but my friend who is coming along is only 20..grr oh well

[kalajessta]

21 years old and only at this meetup please.

[Kachii]

I think I'll show up. Gotta find out if I can drag some people over there with me and get them away from Midnight Madness for a little bit. Also, the bar... Is it the one that's to the left of the check-in desk (if looking at the check-in desk?) on the 2nd floor?

[Julian]

I think that I want to come to this with some friends. Of course, I'll have to see where I am on Friday at midnight. Con tends to have a way of bringing all sorts of random into my life. Toy store!

Left of the check-in desk.

[Kachii]

Thank you! ^-^

[CharlotteStar]

I can't believe I didn't see this thread earlier. I'm in ^-^. I was hoping something like this would come up for us 21+ con goers. I'll probably be there a little early, so I'm hoping I'm not the lonely chick sittin at the bar all by myself lol. Lookin forward to meeting everyone ^-~.

[Maj. G]

This sounds like a cool idea. I know they do this gathering over here on the East Coast and they tend to go pretty well.

[S1NN3R]

To avoid any confusion Here's the final info (or what I gather is)

What: A 21+ Meetup
Where: At the Hyatt bar (Left of the check-in desk)
When: Firday, May 16th at 12 am
Who: Any con-goer, staff or guest member that wish to join us for a drink that is 21 or over!
What to bring: Your self, your friends, your roommates, whoever wishes to join us and of course bring some cash for a round of drinks or two.

[Kyuu]

Friday evening? That sounds pretty good.

[rondo]

I'll go ahead and break the ice on the follow up.

Did this even happen?

For the future, do it at the Red Bar from the get go. The little piddly bar closed during most of the con likely due to traffic congestion as well as their inability to manage the people in and around it (unlike the control over the Red Bar area this year).

[akaikurama]

I went looking for this and couldn't find it myself. I looked in the Red bar and didn't see what looked like a meet up from the con.

[redx1]

I'll be there, I would like to meet a few aceners over 21. I feel so old because all my friends are younger then me. I will ditch them for a few hours and hopefully they will understand .

The time and place is still being discussed in this thread here: http://www.acen.org/...showtopic=26850

Alot had got confused so I made a new thread because there where pre-con meetups being planned. (This thread is old from last year btw - so staff, if you could lock this thread, that would be appreciated!)
