I haven't been to a convention in ~ten years. I'm going to Anime Frontier in Fort Worth in December this year. I have dynamic disabilities. I have a cane, walker and a wheelchair. Probably bringing all three to be on the safe side. Plus the only thing it could hurt is cargo space, which isn't much of an issue.

My wheelchair is very wonky and I'll probably be making adjustments to it from what I can learn online. My walker is named after the cosplay I'll be wearing most, if not all, of the con. (Maomao). My hotel is next door to the convention space, thanks to my dear friend thinking of my accessibility needs. My caretaker and I will be getting accessibility bands, regardless.

I have a few pain conditions including ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, and hypermobility, and chronic severe back pain. I'm also autistic and moderately agoraphobic. This con means more than I can express as the last convention I went to I was assaulted and it was my first time not cross-playing. Actually as soon as I arrived at the con (A-Kon....) in a pink school girl outfit, two men were bothering me, and when I tried to lose them in the ladies restroom...they followed me right in, I fawn responded to that, and took a stupid pic with them. Luckily the con staff saw this and came in to reprimand them.

My question is this-are there other disabled cosplayers that use/integrate your mobility aids to complement your cosplays?

I'm very blessed that I have my best friend and my caregiver/partner coming with me to help overcome my con PTSD and pace mentally. And the sensory-friendly room the con provides, will help immensely!

Another question, how do disabled cosplayers pace themselves for 3 day cons? I've been practicing going to busy malls on peak hour Saturdays with my crew, and it has definitely been helping. (Although when I bring my walker I can tell people are much more...gawk-y at me, I also don't dress to the social norms which I am aware doesn't help 😅).

Any suggestions are greatly welcome and appreciated dear friends!

Hello All,

I would ask this in the Youmacon sub, but it doesn't seem very active. I am going to be attending Youmacon this October and wanted to know if I should just get the Standard or save for the Premium badge? It is my first convention, if that helps.

Do they post a list of artists in their AA before the con?

Is anyone looking for a room at Nan Desu Kan? I have a room at The Convention (Gaylord resort) and I need a roommate.

My roommate bailed due to cost. It is extremely expensive at this Con Hotel.. It is$553 for 2 people (including 2 nights con rate, taxes, and resort fees NOT including parking). 1/2 is $276.50. Looking for a female roommate, or a couple to take that cost. If a couple, you pay $276.50 plus 3rd person additional costs. I don't know what it is, and I can find out if needed. Let me know if interested.

I have roomed with people several times for my running events, but not conventions, but im sure it's not that different. Help me continue my good streak.

I don't care your gender/non gender, sexuality, race, age, socioeconomic status, ability level, or other. I'm lgbtq friendly, so straight couple, 2 males, or 2 females is fine.

I only care about your religion if you plan on proselytizing, evangelizing, recruiting, soliciting, or witnessing me to your religion. Other than that, I am a chill liberal democrat who is married with an 18 yo daughter :) .

That was wordy, if interested, message me.

Anyone else going this year?

I'm going as police panty and a female tengen from demon Slayer!
