Hyatt Regency O’Hare & Donald E Stephens Convention Center
Do you have a cosplay picked out yet?
Any particular events or panels you're hoping to catch?
What part of the convention floor are you most drawn to?
Are you traveling in from out of town or staying nearby?
Will you be attending solo or with friends?

No she's a respectable nice kind and thin person, if I see the person who told her birds of a feather as a "light hearted line" and no I don't by the "it was about finding other gulls joke. It's revolting. I will lay down some hell.

Can you do burger king rei again? I know you out jew'd the jew Reisen that was EPIC!!! especially when you went on about the "haters" you have. Never met anyone who never fucked up in their life before and has so many haters. especially when walked into my room party, stayed an uncomfortably long time, annoyed the women, and I had to message the guy you told me you were. Why did you wear his bow man? I get nigga never coming back to acen since he moved to Japan or something but like man what gives?
You must be a legend.

It is. Now people have discord and they meet with people they already know. At night you can talk to randos in the common area, even Thursday sometimes. Otherwise you might have to go through the discord. If you have any cons before then try making some contacts at those and join servers and ask who plans on going to Acen. Use common sense and be safe

None are okay those groups openly give passes to rapists/pedophiles
I’ve heard “but he’s my friend” after a dude statutory raped a 14 yr old LOL
They don’t see a problem with that because he’s the party guy

ACEN had an actual pedo as a guest and never even apologized. I wouldn't go for that alone.

ACEN is retarded because they completely shy away from idol culture and vtubers.
One of the organizers when asked about idol guests just went "lol, lmao".
ACEN also classically lacks in panels because everything is more "scrutinized" so the interesting panels go to midwest/magic/CAD instead because atleast they'll get accepted.

Acen 2022 had vtubers but hey were comically bad that year and so they've been effectively blacklisted from a lot of groups after they sold their guests on vivid mask mandates, then undid them right before the con.

It's the same thing every ACEN thread and pretty much all the Illinois cons.
>Noting but drama because of those groups
>mods nuke all the comments
>ACEN finally comes
>That group just starts more shit and it goes critical.
>Mass deleting of comments.
>Thread dies.
It's always the same people too.

when the magic is gone but you keep going to the con sometimes ppl who took too much get delusional and think their life is an anime their friends are the characters and they make up dramatic plots
how embarrassing

I have no fucking idea what "color temperature" means. I'm gonna assume like... how bright they are?
I dunno, the stephens could use brighter lights cause it gets REALLY hard to see out of a mask sometimes lmao.
Personally the best quirk of the Stephens compared to other centers like McCormick is that it has that 1 mile long walkway where the parking garages are on the completely opposite side.
Genuinely, ain't nothing like a comfy half mile walk from the hotel at 3 AM back to my car

QUIC: to the Chicago 'nons actually in Chicago rn, dak of any place I can get the foundational Jirai Kei outfit at? You know the one, the black overalls and off-white shirt one. I want to wear it for AMKE next week. I know I can buy one of the slop mass produced ones on Amazon, but umm, I already have like 3 of those lmfao and they are really shitty. I walked around today after going to WWE SuperStore since it was gorgeous out and did some window shopping but couldn't find anything worthwhile. I did get some things I can work into a "casual" Chihiro (Danganronpa) cosplay but I'm not the biggest fan of "casual" cosplays, plus I really do want another high quality foundational jk fit.
