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.

Hi,I'm Mattie and would love to make new friends around my age.

I bought a ticket for Anime Midwest but I can't find any email confirmation of my purchase. Did anyone else not get a purchase confirmation email? I already sent an email to support but wanted to reach out to the community.

Not sure if your situations are still this dire and terrible, but know that you two both have my respect. I wish I could do something more to help the both of you out. :(

I'd love to visit Japan someday when it's financially viable for me to do so. I am studying Japanese on Duolingo for the meantime so that I can more easily understand things there when the time comes.

I've been there bloodra. If you have it available to you, I would seriously recommend taking some time to get some therapy. It helped me gain some confidence in myself and feel less afraid to be myself around others. Maybe it can help you out too!

Hi, all! I'm Josh, but my online alias has been Joosh since I started using the internet in 2009. I'm a 25-year-old weeb from Indiana. I've had a growing interest in Japanese culture and anime since 2015, but I'm just now getting around to joining the Ani.me community. I've recently taken a liking to Hololive, and the V-tubing community in general. I found it at a difficult time in my life, and it's been one of the things that has helped me find a little bit of confidence in myself, and joy. So, with that said, hello!
