Never go off alone with someone you do not know without telling someone first. • Always have a way to contact every individual in your party. Exchange cell phones numbers or work out an alternative plan for those without a phone! • • Review the Program and Schedule and mark the EvilleCon Events and panels that you would like to attend. • Pay attention to your surroundings – if people are trying to walk past, step aside and allow others to go through. If you want to stop and pose for a picture, get out of the main thoroughfare so that others can get through. • End con funk now! Stay clean, take showers, wear deodorant, and change your clothes. It is a good idea to keep deodorant on you to reapply throughout the day. • When at your home/hotel, always remove your make up. The make up is not good for your skin. It can also come off at night and ruin your bed sheets or the hotel’s bed sheets (and you do not want to have to buy new sheets at the hotel!). • • • Get plenty of sleep. Bring survival supplies – ID, extra money, water and drinks, snacks, medications, camera, phone charger, personal hygiene supplies, and other personal necessities. If you are in cosplay, also bring safety pins, fabric glue, and scissors. Be respectful of everyone at the convention. Cosplay DOES NOT equal consent. Do not assume that it is okay to touch or harass someone because of their costume. Always obtain consent before doing anything to another person. Harassment and rude behavior will not be tolerated at EvilleCon. BE SAFE AND SMART! EvilleCon is meant to be fun but do not do anything that will get you or others hurt. When in doubt, ask an EvilleCon Staff Member or head to the Registration table!

They promise a good time to all attendees and are always happy to chat following their events! You can usually find them during the late-night programming time slots, but they can sometimes be spotted performing day events...if they are awake! They do like their sleep, and shoving their faces full of food! Indra, aka Lord of the Machine, has run over 100 panels in his time and doesn't plan to stop any time soon. What started out as a small informative panel to spread the word of one of his favorite anime, Berserk, turned into a love and want to keep running bigger and better panels. Information, game boards, crazy videos, and a healthy dose of comedy can be found in most of his work. This year will debut some new panels such as The Midnight Lunch Hour, cohosted by Devin "Senpai" Preston, and Yaoi Manga 101. Never settling for your run of the mill style panel, Indra likes to make sure audiences are entertained and involved as much as possible. Long ago, in a distant land, an idea sprang forth; an idea that changed Chris McLain’s view of conventions forever. And that idea was: "Why not do a panel or something?!" Since then, Chris has run countless panels of topics varying all over the nerd spectrum. Today, however, he runs 4 main panels: The Timey Wimey Doctor Who Experience, Za Warudo of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, It's Almost Midnight: A Persona Panel, and Manly Screaming Mecha Pilots. Come check out his panels and see why they are awesome!

Disabled persons, EvilleCon Staff, on-duty Volunteers, special guests, and vendors are not required to stand in line for entry into any Event Room.

Posters should be unrolled and DVD or CD inserts should be removed from the case. Autograph books should be opened and ready for the guest to sign. EvilleCon does not limit the amount of things you can get signed by guests but the guest might place a limit to ensure that everyone gets something signed. Please keep your fellow attendees in mind and be respectful of time constraints. Please check with the staff members at the time of the autograph session how many the guest is allowing. There are typically multiple chances throughout the convention to get autographs throughout the weekend, so there should be other opportunities. Guests will not sign body parts. A Guest’s approval must be received before a photograph may be taken with a guest. While attendees are encouraged to converse with special guests, please keep comments brief so that the line can move efficiently. Dance/EvilleBeat Rules Specific policies for each individual event are available at the Registration Desk.
