Sorry to post so much, but just found out about Escape Velocity, to be held May 24-26, 2019 at the Gaylord Hotel, National Harbor (Washington DC/Maryland). Looks really interesting. It says it'll have science, technology, pop culture, Museum of Science Fiction, and has pics of cosplayers. The url: https://escapevelocity.events

Also this summer, Maryland MTA fares will be going up again, as prescribed in the 2013 law that increases BOTH gas taxes & public transportation fares relative to inflation. NEW Rates

...and that's why I didn't post this sooner. There was no telling how long the FREE rides would last, which is why I was reluctant to mention it in this thread. Personally, I was expecting it to only last thru the remainder of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Still, this is a story to keep tabs on just in case.

Okay, really, this time: The BONUS ? for 2019: What was the awesomest or most unique cosplay or crossplay you have seen and/or worn at an Otakon? Prolly a friend's Kamen Rider cosplays. He was Fourze Base States one year, and I *think* OOO PuToTyra Form another year? I'm not certain...

I'm not sure if this is the thread for this(but just in case) -- free fares on the D.C. Circulator may not last: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/bowser-and-dc-council-spar-over-keeping-circulator-free-and-who-it-benefits/2019/05/12/0731e13c-71ac-11e9-9eb4-0828f5389013_story.html

onsenmark replied to GasparAKAShiggitay's topic in Otakon 2019
trolololol Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that it will cost one dollar, or that it will be sold to you by a gentleman with incredible style and flow. *goes to listen to ICW remixes on MooCube* -

Not necessarily con-related, but I finally hope to meet some of you people, like from Discord n' stuff. Y'all know who you are, lol. -
Are all metal objects banned or only weapons?

A kettle and some string can be pretty powerful. -

Anime Central (ACen) 2019 Roll Call!
Aresef replied to GasparAKAShiggitay's topic in General Discussions
Name: Tyler Cosplay: Nah Arriving: I'm getting into Chicago Thursday morning, but considering where my Airbnb is, I might not be anywhere near the con until Friday. -
Who here is attending Anime Central 2019 (ACen) with me this year in the lovely Chicagoland area (Rosemont, IL) ? If you are do this: Name: Cosplay you'll be wearing: Day arriving: I'll start it off. Name: Gaspar / Shiggitay Cosplay you'll be wearing: I'll be alternating between my Senbonzakura Miku GB and my Street Pop Miku GB throughout the weekend... There's no way I can have something new in 2 weeks' time... Day arriving: Thursday, but at like 4pm due to travel from Baltimore via road trip with friends. Yay for the upcoming ~15h ride... We should meet up. My schedule of events (panels etc.) is pretty light this year, so we should be able to hang out!

2019 Hotel Incidentals Reminder
GasparAKAShiggitay replied to GasparAKAShiggitay's topic in Otakon 2019
Thanks for that input! I'm glad someone actually read and took to heart my advice. EDIT: w00t for my 1,000th post! -
Wrestlers have been making more appearances at conventions between the standard comic-con bookings, Xavier Woods going to Magfest and PAX, and Kenny Omega partnering with CEO. I don't think it is outside of the realm of possibility to invite some indie wrestlers that have or are still working in Japan. In fact I think the STARDOM women's wrestlers would make for a great panel.

Copy Pasting a reply I made in the Post-2018 section because it will be more visible here: That being said, if you are a student with a tight credit limit then OP's suggestion of having an extra $200 available is good advice.

Thanks! -

kimmibeans replied to windseeker's question in Otakon Q & A
Hi Windseeker! Great question. As long as you don't use your kettle irresponsibly (i.e. chuck it at someone or use it as part of a battering ram) you should not have any problems. -
I'm contemplating a cosplay that involves a tea kettle. Not as a weapon but just a prop. I hope that wouldn't cause problems?

PREFERRED NAME: Since I go with my online buddies, I like the nickname Triela. :3HOMETOWN: New York# OF OTAKONS ATTENDED: This will be my 3rd year!!The BONUS ? for 2019: I've seen a lot of awesome cosplay over the years, (have been going to cons for 15 years or so now) so I can't think of just one.
