Anime Midwest 2014 - A convention going on right now in Rosemont IL

Anime Midwest 2014 is actually going on today (Friday) July 4th until (Sunday) the 6th. Seems like a fairly new fan convention because they have this thing about limiting the attendance to 10,00 people.  I'm guessing so that's the magic number for the staff to be able to manage things at the moment.  According to their attendance tracker, they've only sold half of their maximum capacity. Good chance you can go there during the weekend.

Seems like if you are a fan of drinking Mountain Dew soda, than this is a good place to hang out as Attendees get free soda and Ramen ( have no clue if it's instant or an actual ramen shop setup. )



It is being held in the town of Rosemont, IL, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and Hyatt Regency. Now if these to venues sound familiar then you're thinking of the other Anime Con that happens in Illinois, Anime Central. "Acen" took place in May of this year.


Some notable attendees :

• Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker)
• Linkara
•  Johnny Yong Bosch
• Sonny Strait
• Chris Patton
•  Caitlin Glass
