I was going to be Nana Shimura this year so I'm just saving the cosplay for 2021. But I might be tempted to go as a plague doctor too...

Not that we needed another reason to never have him as a guest again, but take a look at these gems from him:

Not terribly relevant to us now I guess, but I had a lot of good con related memories there, and I do hate to see a brick and mortar bookstore go 😭 https://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2020/08/25/barnes-noble-closing-inner-harbor-location/

Hey, I'm in that video 😂

Online Comic Con is this week. Should be interesting.

UP AS OF 9:13

I saw the Courtyard appear briefly but showed as fully booked....

Is it up already, or did I blink and miss it?

They're expecting a second wave to happen this fall, so don't get your hopes up.

I freaked out a bit because I saw the email late and thought I missed the Marquis, but seems like its not clear when that one will become available...how will registration be handled for a single high in demand hotel if and when it does open? Booked at Embassy for the meanwhile.

Well that's all moot now...

Knew for a fact that it was coming, but its still sad to hear it.

Well, even the ICP is canceling due to COVID - the annual Gathering of the Juggalos got canceled until 2021. Don't think Otakon has much of a chance.

I don't care that its a small con, I actually enjoyed that part of it in a lot of ways (lack of lines, lol). But actually a big part of my bad experience last time was in part due to being a first time panelist there, where some people in charge tried to blame me for something that went wrong on their end and not mine. So that plus the decline in programming made me decide to end my attendance streak. Good luck with your panel though!
