Anyone going to Anime Central in Chiago?

I know there's been some discussion about Anime Expo, but as I live in Wisconsin I can't justify a trip to California for that. But I am going to go to Anime Central in Chicago and was wondering if anybody else around here is planning to attend. It will actually be my first convention, so I'm really looking forward to it. Are there any cel-related gatherings there? I understand there will be dealers (though I don't know if any there will sell cels), but I was just wondering if there was a kind of thing where cel collectors get together.

I had no idea until now that there was going to be a con in Chicago. I will absolutely be there! I am not sure which day yet but probably just one day in total.

Hi! I will be there all weekend. This will be my first con as well. I know there will be dealers with cels for sale. I know we started talking about this on anime beta so I know there will be other collectors there as well. I am not sure if anyone has come up with a get together yet.
