I think we'll see a few Samurai Jack cosplays, particularly Ashi cosplays.
-
I did see a Kim Possible cosplayer at AwesomeCon last week
-
I only know this since I went to Awesome-Con last week, there's a 7-11 about a 10 minute walk away from the convention center on 7th street.

You'll definitely find LGBT-friendly items in the Dealer's Room, I bought an ace heart pin a few conventions ago. Its also not uncommon for there to be panels that focus on the subject of diversity in fandom, including LGBT representation.

Hm yeah, two sets of escalators to get down there from the registration hall? I hope they don't depend on the route to get people in...
-
I went to AwesomeCon for the first time this year, and yeah they had a bag check, but it was honestly pretty half assed...the guy just looked into one pocket of my backpack and waved me though. My first time going into the building I went in the wrong doorway and accidentally bypassed the whole bag check, no one noticed, lol.

I want to be Nui from Mushishi.

Would be fun to sing on the metro if there are a bunch of cosplayers on a single car.
-
I haven't seen any myself when I've been at the DC Convention Center, then again I definitely haven't used all the restrooms.
-
Hopefully we might get some good food truck options at the convention center or nearby. This is a good site for keeping track of DC food trucks: http://foodtruckfiesta.com/

That should be manageable.

True. There was an article not too long ago in the Washington Post about how restaurant staff in the DC area was overwhelmingly metro dependent on weekend late nights: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2016/06/01/this-hurts-d-c-restaurants-are-bracing-for-metros-earlier-weekend-closing/ I imagine business owners will come out swinging against the proposal. Guess we just need to wait and see.

Good point there. Anime USA once did that with Uber, I think it was a free ride up to $30 for your first Uber ride (and it was for me!) Hm, I usually either metro or take an Uber home during Anime USA, I live about 25 mins away and its nice not to spend $$ on a hotel. But yeah I love the hotel stay during Otakon so I'm conflicted about 2017...
-
Looks like Uber will be getting a lot of business... This wouldn't just be bad news for Otakon, it would be bad news for a lot of restaurants and businesses in DC who depend on late night patrons.

Well, I'm suddenly glad I opted for the Thursday pre reg pickup. I hope badges arrive on time, but I'd hate to have this anxiety going on...
