Weather looks like shit on Saturday, are we fried?

It might actually be raining all day. Will they move outdoor events indoors? I highly doubt we would be able to push the event back since some people are literally flying in here.

edit: So apparently you can switch days at the front desk, ill wait until thursday to consider switching to either friday or sunday

Is Anime North Good For Making Friends?

I (20M) have been pretty much perpetually soul-crushingly lonely since I got back from my second year of university, and I want to try to meet people.

Note: I have Autism and ADHD

What time should I arrive to get good parking?

As the title says. I will be attending both Saturday and Sunday. I was hoping to get a spot very close and was going to show up early, anyone have experience with what a good time is?

Question about Guidebook App

In previous years I have been able to mark/add multiple events with clashing start-times on the Guidebook App, and then picked which one appealed to me more at the specific moment.

This year I can't do that. Example: Friday has a Photoshoot for both Frieren and Isekai Quartet starting at 4pm. Also, a panel at 4:30pm (What I learned from anime). Because it overlaps with the Photoshoot at 4:00, I cannot add that to my schedule even though the Photoshoot will likely be over by then. No matter how many times I press "Add Anyway", conflicting events do not show up in my schedule - only the first-selected does.

How can I fix this? Or do I just have to live with the inconvenience? My phone is an android, if that matters.

Super Excited for my First Time at Anime North 😭💖

Hey everyone, this is my first time ever attending Anime North 😭 I've wanted to go for years now but have never made the time. That's changed for this year because of the amazing Bear Sailor Moon (ifyky) 💖

I'll be DJing a set of Future Funk from myself and other amazing artists for Y2GAY ✨ I hope everyone can come make it out to see the show! 🍃

I'm super excited to see some of the amazing art (artist alley is always heavenly), super cool voice actors, cosplay, just everything!! Cheers 🌺

What's The Avergae Age Of People Attending, And When Did You First Start Going?

I am a 20-year-old man going to Anime North for the first time, and just wanted to ask about the general age range of people attending and see how old people were when they started.

I have everything I need for Anime North!!!! My patches for my service dog “Fallout” theme vest arrived today!! I’ve got my fallout cosplay, and I have 150 red bottle caps to give out at the event!! 💙👍 IF YOU SEE ME….

If you see me, come say hello!!!

You can take home a red bottle cap (I have 150 caps, so I’m only giving 1-2 caps per person). They are plain red bottle caps, I wasn’t able to put Nuka Cola on them.

ASK to pet “Dogmeat” !!! Asking first grants health points, NOT asking first will increase your rads ✌️😂

I’m super excited for the event!!

Golden Retriever, Alita, will be there with me on Friday and Saturday, granted things go well and she is okay (this will be her very first large event being around people in costumes).

Poodle Mix, Hayley, will be there with me on Sunday. She’s a pro.

Will the buildings have AC?

Silly question, obviously it's going to be warm with all the bodies around but will the buildings have any AC at all? Just kinda worried I might melt

Pens are lit

Got my display of pens ready for Anime North this weekend. I'll only have 18 bodies there and once they're gone Gen 2 will get released with gen 1 owners getting a heavy discount for Gen 2 and one lucky individual to get all 7 of Gen 2 with the holders and a custom made display stand

Anime North Survival Guide

Along with the fandom spreadsheet, I also put together this survival guide of sorts for Anime North a few years ago! I've been going to AN since I was in high school, and had been going as an attendee every year before going as a tabling artist! To anyone who's new to Anime North, I hope this guide is helpful!

Most cost efficient way to attend from out of town?

I'm from the West Niagara Region (close to Hamilton ~15-20 min) and would like to try for at least 2 days/full weekend. Since I don't have hotel/overnight plans, I'd have to either drive home/back (+park) each day, or sleep in my car (not sure if allowed).

 

Are there any additional options I've not considered yet? I should note that any public transport would also need to accommodate my parking and the late hours of return (11pm/midnight-ish), so I'm not sure if there's any viable options/would be even cheaper than just gas cost + parking. Thanks!

How long has badge pickup been taking?

I’ve been doing badge mail out the last few years, but I remember the line for pickup taking hours at times. My group has a last minute addition who bought a weekend pass just now.

How long has pickup been taking these last few years? We might get in around 6 Friday

Advice for a first time attendee?

Hi! This is my first time going to Anime North, and attending a convention asides from Game X and my university’s fandom con. I’ll be going on Saturday in cosplay (first time cosplaying too!) with my best friend and younger sister. Fun fat, I’m a five minute walk away from the Congress Center.

Is there anything I should know before or bring with me? I’m a Type 1 Diabetic and on the autism spectrum, so I’m worried about my blood sugar levels dropping and overstimulation.

A Question On "Guests"

If a creator is coming to AN as an announced Guest and doesn't have a booth or any specific panels listed that they are a part of, does that mean they will be wandering/enjoying the con just in general, or is there a specific "guest area" or general guest tabling that they would most likely spend time in? (I don't mean like, a private greenroom or guest-only space, which I'm sure they do have, I mean like a space for them to exist while also interacting with attendees).

Sorry if this is a silly question, it's rare I'm on the lookout for meeting public figures, but I got into Super Eyepatch Wolf last year and saw today he'll be at the con. I'd really like to just let him know I appreciate his work, but if he's wandering around the con I don't want to bother him if there's a specific area that would be better for me to approach him at.
