This will be my first otakon (finally) and im counting the days. I got reservations made for the sheraton and plan to be there well in advance for the pre-reg line lol !!
I managed to snag 5 nights at the sheraton inner harbor before it dropped from the passkey site (at least for duration I wanted). Heck of a cost (around $1100) but its combination of 1st otakon and sightsee the area so it should be ok. Least I got a year to save for it .
