These replies have been kind of interesting in that it kinda feels like a lot of the posters have never been to a con held entirely IN a hotel. Maybe I've just been lucky

That was my only gripe with Otakon last year, the rave ended before it even felt like it started. I would suggest possibly talking to the Hyatt in regards to their space of ballrooms, as they're connected to the convention center through a walkway as well and seem to have a great large ballroom right by the doors that lead to the convention center.
-
For what it's worth, in order to make it to the hotel room areas of the hotel one would need to cross over a second walkway from the building in which we are considering holding the dance. At that point those folks would be far enough removed from the dance that they really can't be considered as participating in it anymore.

I'm amazed that alot of you seemed to forget 1 BIG thing, the place they are planing for is the building BETWEEN the Baltimore Convention Center and the hotel, for that building is the Hilton's convention center. I apologize for going a bit off topic there.
ok I FOUND what I was looking for, finally.... check this link out for floor plans and construction details

why does this sound like a 6 hour power energy shot commercial...
-
If I'm not mistaken isn't the vast majority of the rooms seperate from the actual ballrooms and meeting areas in the Hilton? I stayed there recently and when I was there we were in the main hotel area which housed the bar, front desk, valet area, and a few meeting rooms. The second area which is accesible by a glass bridge seemed to house the main ballrooms, resturants, and meeting areas. Not to say that even if this is the way the hotel is setup that you won't have the issues described, but it would cut down on some of the things you discussed above.

katsucon has had their rave in the hotel ballroom for years now. as far as i know there havnt been any real problems.

im giving a big NO to this
as a person that is staying in the hilton, last thing anyone else wants in the hilton, is more people riding the elevators or having "rave" parties in the elevators.
also bringing this crowd closer to where people are trying to sleep dosen't strike me as a good idea, i can already see the disturbances caused by people thinking its funny to go up on the other floors and start banging on peoples doors.
that also brings up another point, less security. if people want to do something they aren't supposed to, instead of leaving the con or going back to their own hotel, they will go find some unsupervised floor and take advantage of it just out of sheer laziness. I really don't feel like walking out of my room at 1:30 am at seeing a dry hump orgy going on at my floor outside my door.
now im not saying EVERYONE at the dance is going to do this, but past videos have all shown us there is that minority of idiots that will pull something like this.
unless you have some kind of security riding in the elevator and on every floor to prevent this, i don't think its a good idea.
...How is this any different from Drunken Otaku doing the same thing in your hotels?
I personally don't see the difference. Having the rave in the B.R.'s adds much needed space. It always seems very cramped over there when I've gone over to look, which is why I never bother to enter.
Plus, it seems like there would be added security automatically, considering that it would be in the Hilton. hotel have pretty strict guidelines, and I'm pretty sure they are on par, if not higher, than those at the rave in the BCC.

honestly, at this point in time, its better just to get with someone that already has a room

Just out of curiousity, when was the Hilton offering double bed rooms for the same price as Passkey offered? I've been checking in with the Hilton fairly often since September & the lowest rate I've been quoted is $228/night & that's if you pay for the room in advance. Otherwise it's from about $259 & up ratewise.
Thus why I reserved my room thru Passkey, even though I'm still contemplating whether I'll keep it or not due to no guarantee that they'll honor my request for 2 beds. Also I truly doubt I'll be able to get any Hilton Honors points for my stay due to the fact that it was reserved thru a 3rd party.
-
We will likely be looking at opening more blocks in the future, although it depends partially on how the current blocks go.
You shouldn't be able to find better room rates than the ones we offer through passkey, although if you do happen to find a lower rate than ours let us know.

Katsucon's masquerade had a 'no yaoi skit' rule - and as a result, 95% of the skits were excellent.
-
I know this may sound like a stupid question, but since I've never been to a convention and never cosplayed before I thought I'd ask.
Do people wear the same cosplay all three days of the con or do they wear other cosplay or regular clothes?
I really don't know and I couldn't imagine wearing the same costume all three days.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my post!!!
Hope you finished pre-reg!!

PRE REG IS NOW OPEN!!!

I was thinking a Saturday shoot at least for Geass, if not maybe a second shoot on Friday.
-
But I can't shake the feeling I'm forgetting something.
-
i don't recall seeing anything even near those descriptions
-
all i got to say, they better win...or it will be flying beer bottles with 9 volt batteries
-
first the amusement park and now this, everyone wants to be otakon now
-
they also put code geass at the 5am slot. seriously, what idiot thought that idea up
-
I'm cosplaying V.V. Anyone else cosplaying Code Geass for 2009?

so the holiday inn is back up for thursday to monday, bout 40 bucks cheaper a night then the hilton, but do ya think the hilton would be worth it?
biggest problem we had with the holiday inn, was we got put in the old tower with obsolete air conditioning and and older room
-
Wow you guys suck, I can't reserve any good rooms now..or maybe the system is just f**ked up.
Well, if it's any comfort, the hotels themselves aren't full yet, so you could always get a room at the regular rate...for about another month or so.
I was trying to get the days inn 120/night rate when it was available, but the site kept messing up and I can't reserve it now.
Possible change in Dance - We want your opinion!
in Otakon 2009
