What are YOU cosplaying to Promstuck? (Remember that cosplaying *is* optional, though!)
Heya! I just wanted to take a moment to thank y'all. So far the only Can Town event I went to was the one at Anime STL, but it was the highlight of my con. I didn't know any Homestucks outside of our little WashU group before, so I'm really glad to have met everybody! I'm quite sad to be missing Promstuck, as I've gone back to SoCal for the summer, but I'm really looking forward to joining in once I come back! So thanks for giving me and my friends a fun and safe new home :)
I’m so glad! We’ll be running more events when you get back, don’t worry! c:

Thank you. I was supposed to meet him that night. We talked over Facebook for about four months. I thought he was actually a good person. I was mistaken, to say the least. He isn't posing as anyone else over Facebook, is he? That would be tragic.
AnonymousWe hung out with him a lot at the convention, and it was only at the tail end that we really noticed just how creepy he was. We’d been giving him the benefit of the doubt until then — no need to get on someone’s case for being socially awkward, right? — but yeah, he… he takes creepo to the next level.
I’m still angry that he managed to trick me and my friends. I’m furious that he got away with hurting people.
It’s a harsh lesson to learn, but it’s important to realize that sex offenders/sexual predators do have normal jobs and can appear very kind and charming. They have hobbies and talents and listen to music. And they get very good at what they do.
Ugh, I wish none of us had ever had to endure this at all.
And no, as far as I’m aware he doesn’t have a new Facebook account (he’s not legally allowed to have one whatsoever), but there’s not a lot to stop him from making another account, and I personally have him blocked, anyway.
As always, be cautious. and if anyone’s giving you grief or making you uncomfortable, and you don’t know where to turn, you can come to us.

Someone who was there.
AnonymousI apologize, my initial reaction tends to be “ALEX IS THIS U???” and I get very paranoid.
The detective spoke with him. At this time, he unfortunately cannot be charged with anything due to a lack of physical proof.
My understanding is that he’s been permanently banned from every major anime convention in the area, as well as the Renn Faire and the SCA.
The VFW is aware of him and will be on the lookout, along with our chaperones, to ensure that if he’s bold enough to show up, he’ll be swiftly escorted right back out, and we’re prepared to call the police if necessary.
And that’s it!
Thank you so much to everybody who pre-registered — we’ll be paying the VFW rental fee in full in advance!
Tickets will remain available online for the at-door pricing, $46.65/person ($1.65 covers PayPal’s fee). This is for convenience only, so you don’t have to wait as long to check in with us when you arrive.
