Hey, anyone interested in attending Mewcon? It's Anime/SF/Fantasy convention to be held at Sheraton Airport hotel (PDX airport) over new year's weekend. Website = http://Http://www.mewcon.com
Oh, and they're looking for panelists - there's a submission form on the site, and if you submit at least 4 panels (that are accepted) you can get in FREE - w00t what a deal!!!

Mewcon has a forum,too

Also, they are seeking additional minions, er... staff.... so check it out. Bang Banb Neko will be there and so will be a bunch of other really cool people like the Anime Hunters (at least the really cute and sweet ones!)

I have been to 8 or 9 conventions and this past Mewcon has been my favorite. I like how there wasn't a lot planed. I heard from Bronte that this years mewcon might be more adult oriented. Is that true?

LexManos · « **Reply #2 on:** July 15, 2010, 11:11:05 pm »

I just did a quick look over there, and saw in the staff announcements something about the age rating. I'll be looking into it more this weekend (if I can, anyone going to the meeting from portland and has an extra seat?)
There is a meeting this weekend in Beaverton, I encourage all to come who want to help out the small con.
I wen't and staffed last year, and I have to say, MEW is great, its laid back, it's a chill out con for after K-con!

I love MEWcon so much! :'3 There's no beating the chill atmosphere and the friendly people. I wouldn't miss it! Best New Years party EVER.

Actually yah we were talking at the meeting today and we would love to have you and maybe some others be "THE" con photographers. You and the others will have all access to the main events and such and get photos for use for next years publishing. So yes your photography staff

haha- I was mostly referring to the fact I have not posted on the forums in months and I still need to attend a meeting...

I was hoping I was not kicked out be default ha.

BangBangNeko · « **Reply #10 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:19:44 pm »

About the rumors of MEWcon being Adult, is all true. This year MEWcon will be an adult con 17+ and up, Minors are still welcomed but will need a gaurdein to be with them since there's going to be adult themes 24 hours. But why 17+ well it means;

#1: No curfews!! So 24 hour prgramming is open to everyone. If your under 18 and your parents are ok with you going to a panel then you can go. No ID checks!! (Besides the wine tasting panel which will only be 21+ and you NEED to bring idea if it gets through)
#2: Panels,skits and other things that are not allowed at other cons are allowed at MEWcon ( within reason of course ^_-) So that means skits DON't have to be censored with cussing, risque panels are welcome, many other things.

So why should you go to MEWcon 2010 New years party? Well were "THE" party con, To young to drink (20 and under) or want something to do for New Years and three days, well don't be sad MEWcon is the place for you, we have; long late night dances, panels with various acts and shows, more adult themed cosplay skits and panels, burlesque dancers, Belly Dancers, GoGo Dancers, Glow/Rave show, Themed days for everyday,anime dating games, Steampunk, Costume contests, Fashion shows, special celebrity guests, and EVEN MORE TO COME!!

Want to know more please visit our website and fourms.

http://www.mewcon.com/

Want to run an event or show of your own then come on by and send in your forms were still looking for more shows,events and panels.

and of course I would want the part, helpers would...help as my main cosplay does not involve a camera so I could have a bit more freedom. But I would still love to do it.

At first I was like "AWWW 17+?" then I remembered I'm 17.

...By 17+ you mean 17 and older, not older than 17, right?

LexManos · « **Reply #15 on:** July 19, 2010, 12:46:15 pm »

17's are allowed. At least how it was explained at the meeting yesterday.
People under 17 ARE ALLOWED but they need a parent/guardian there.

Mr Silmero · « **Reply #16 on:** July 19, 2010, 02:26:59 pm »

Were kinda going with rated R rating; so yes 17 and older.
Here's the post from the site.

Quote

In official unanimous vote by all present at the June meeting have officially changed M3's rating to R.

Other year round events, dances, meetings will remain all ages. New Year's is no longer all ages.

What does this mean for you?

-Greater variety in AMVs and viewing room content.
-Less restrictions on panels, art, writing and discussion content.
-A broader selection of novels and manga.
-No dance or main event age curfews.
-The elimination of age based pricing.
-Group pricing breaks to encourage clubs and guardian attendance.

MEW 3 will be applying the same age restrictions as theaters, anyone under 17 must be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Thanks, we thought about it and looked at who went to the con last year. Most of the con attendees were 18+ and only a few were under 18. (Me being one of them XD till now lol) so a lot of adult theme stuff was going on. (I mean it is new years) But we also noticed some of the minors were just being dropped with NO guardian and since a lot of adult things were going on, we deiced it would be best to make it 17 and older that way we don't get trouble with parents just dropping off their kids and then blaming us for what they saw. XP Also it means we won't have to check ID for every panel. (Some may still want you to bring it so bring just incase) and if people think about it there are THREE all ages conventions. Sakuracon, Kumoricon, and AKIcon. But no older aged cons, so here it is MEWcon. So people should tell your friends, and have them tell their friends. lol

Day 1 is going to be free for all, think party time and new years. So go crazy

day#2: Villains day *Evil laugh*

Day 3 will be Steampunk so come in your best steampunk garb and enjoy steampunk themed panels and shows. Or come in your fanciest dress or masquerade garb. Then dance the night away in our labyrinth themed masquerade. Don't have a mask or don't want to wear one don't worry it's not required to wear a mask, so you can still come and dance. But we will be having a mask contest, giving out prizes for the best masks.

Nothing is set in stone yet since were months away. But we have everyday having a dance, BangbangNeko's dirty show, anime dating game, speed dating, and maybe a wine tasting. These are what we've only got panel submissions for atleast. Others panel and events are still being worked on, so for these you'll have to PM XP sorry.

But if anybody wants to submit an event or panel or anything really you still can. here are the emails and forms for submitting.
http://www.mewcon.com/panel-registration
Panel Manager: panels@mewcon.com
Main Events Manager: mainevents@mewcon.com
General Questions: info@mewcon.com

There's also the forums for people to advertise their panel/events and such.

So my friends I'll be going with are 16. Since I'm 17, do I get to be their guardian? They'll have parental permission and all, I'm just making sure they'll be allowed with me since idk if we're going to have parents tagging along.

If their under 17 then yes a parent or gaurdian wil be needed. It's like a rated R movie, if your under 17 you need someone older to go with you. 18+, it's because some things that are going to be going on are going to be "ADULT" So having you be their gaurdian though it would be cool . But we could get in trouble if their parents don't like to see or hear certain things then it's better for them to be their and make sure. Not to say everything is going to be just adult we have other things going on it's just now that we got rid of the ID check your gonna need an adult. And if your parents don't have to worry about being bored, this con is not an anime con alone, we have Sci-fi, fantasy, comics, video games, and the hotel it's being held at is very nice so i'm sure they won't get bored too fast. I mean we've got a nicewine tasting panel in the works .

I hope i'm not sounding like i'm pushing your friend's out, we would love to have them and anybody it's just we're gonna be a bit more mature than your normal anime convention. If that makes sense.

Would it be acceptable to have a signed parental consent form with a legal guardian attending to them? I know some places accept legal (non-related) guardians with parental consent and someone who is over 18 or 21 who is willing to take responsibility for them.

You have no idea how all over this I am.

I am SO stoked that you guys are making it an adult con. I noticed that a ton of the attendees were 18+, so this is going to work out extremely well. And we all know that all the fun panels are the innuendo-filled ones.

MEW this year is going to rock HARDCORE.

I would say go, but make sure you have some friends going there too. There isn't a whole lot of panels (not that I typically go to them anyway) but it is a lot of fun. I normally hang out with friends at cons and mew con has been the absolute, hands down, best con I have been to (2009/2010 at least).
