Anime Midwest 2013 will excitedly be at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare! They must love all you cosplayers so much that they want to see you all year round, lol! We love ACen for showing them how respectful and great congoers can be, so much that the hotel wants to have congoers there all the time. It will be held July 5 - 7, 2013.

*** Great Guest List ***
* Ellen McLain (GLaDOS)
* Todd Haberkorn (Itality, Natsu, Ling Yaoi, Hikaru)
* Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic)
* Sonny Strait (Lupin III, Maes Hughes, Krillin, Toonami TOM)
* Quinton Flynn (Reno, Axel, Kon, etc)
* Spike Spencer (Shinji, Rolo, Takama)
* STEAM POWERED GIRAFFE
* V is for Villains
* The Pillowcases
* John Patrick Lowrie
* Russell Lissau
* Alan Evans
* Trevor Mueller
* Steve Horton

(Last year's guests were great too, I'll list them in case they end up coming back!) - 2012 included:
* Greg Ayres (the most popular voice actor ever!)
* Nabeshin (the most popular Japanese director!)
* Jamie Marchi (and several other Panty & Stocking characters!)
* MegaRan (amazing nerdcore rapper)
* Other music acts & DJs

*** Amazing Special Events ***
* A two-hour formal ball Friday evening, no extra charge (lessons included too).
* Over 13 different guests all doing their own panels & events.
* A rave dance every night, with DJs who mix great music.
* A date auction Friday afternoon, for those without dates.
* A masquerade that really focuses on making your costumes awesome.
* Karaoke night on Saturday night.
* TONS of cool panels (more than 100!) that would be impossible to list out here... to give you an idea, they range from "Dante's Guide To Picking Up Women" to "Who's line is it Anime?"

*** Super Low Prices ***
* Just $40-45 AT THE DOOR (or $30 in advance online) = more money left for the dealers room!
* Only $11/day parking at the hotel = more money left for the dealers room!
* Just $99/night for hotel rooms = more money left for the dealers room!

Anime Midwest is a convention that is run by local fans, for fans. We've kept badge prices super low! Everyone can come to Anime Midwest, and help make it the biggest weekend ever! ♥ I hope we can get the back-page of Anime Central's program book to advertise again, it would help so much! Thank you attendees and everyone for the support!

It is in the subtitle of the thread.

The fact that Midwest will be down the street from my house has increased my willingness to go exponentially.

Where the hell did your loyalty go?

[Prayer Police]

Interesting.
I wonder if Anime World Chicago, too, is gonna be at the regency again.
They would be handling 3 anime cons in 1 year (plus other cons).

Lol, it was in the subtitle, but I added it to the text too. 3 cons at the Hyatt is awesome... it's tricky though. I want us all work together to plan the best cons possible, but I also want each con to try to look and feel different, so that it's a little more fun and different to go to all of them. Anyway, it should be awesome to see you all there

[GITS SAC Motoko]

Hmmmm. Should be interesting. I guess the date auction raised tons of money we were able to move to a bigger place . haha

[NinjaJedi007]

^ I'm going to put myself on sale.

I'll bid for you. How about $5?

[NinjaJedi007]

^ That's acceptable... but $6 would provide the buyer with much more. Anyway, how was that auction? ACen didn't have anything like that right? I heard it was quite a success.
