Don't!

Nice garbage rollout. So much for a noon waiting room time.

I've heard a lot of complaints about "Bad Anime Bad!" this year, apparently it only covered one U.S. made production?

The Con-Mom Olympics workshop was really fun

SO SLOW

Well that got cancelled altogether...

The Good - Merging Artist Alley and The Dealer's Room, so nice not having to leave one to get to the other down the hall - Overall traffic flow - Glad to see a number of people willingly wearing masks The Bad - In the AMV contest, why did the Comedy section of the AMV contest only had 4 entries? Most of the other categories had 6 or 7. - The Taboo Tattoos in Japan panel given at 12:45 AM timeslot when it wasn't an 18+ panel, why was that? The Ugly - Mystery Anime Theater 3000 getting cancelled on Friday, I had been really looking forward to it. -Te

It looks like two paid events (Soju tasting and FLOW concert) are overlapping? Wat do you do it you bought tickets to both?

Travel size mouthwash and toothbrush/toothpaste.

On Thursday we always check into the hotel, do badge pickup, walk to Giant to pick up some food and water for the hotel room, and get dinner from my favorite food spot, Arepa Zone.

The Inner Harbor, was always fun to walk there in the evenings and afternoon when the sun went down a bit. I miss the skyline and seeing the neon Rusty Scupper sign. Honestly I miss everything about Otakon in Baltimore EXCEPT for the crowding inside the BCC.

I would avoid it, its known for being a skethy hotel overall, in the past few years there have been reports of break ins and human trafficking there.

Saw the news over the weekend on twitter and otakon FB.

I forgot two more for The Bad: -During photoshoots in the video game hall, it was almost impossible to hear the organizer calling for characters unless you were standing right by her. There was music blasting nearby and the mic she had barely had any volume to it. - Who let Ministry of Otaku into the building?

On an Otakon FB group I'm already seeing people reporting positive covid results. I did come wearing a mask, while I get they can't require masks forever I agree it was a mistake to drop vax requirements.

The Good: Barely any lines getting in to the con! I honestly thought we had less attendance this year due to how less clogged it felt. Spanish voice actors - having grown up in Central America and watching spanish dubs, this was very nostalgic for me! T shirt cannon! The Bad: Panels felt...lacking in content this year. I can't remember the last time I went so long between panels that interested me. Some popular panels being crammed into smaller rooms. Rumors of pickpockets in the dealer's room/artist alley? The Ugly: Personal one for me, I believe

I don't usually buy con food but on Saturday last year I didn't dare leave the building due to the lines and risk being stuck outside so I ended up eating a $15 sandwich lol. It was good at least.

Well that can't happen, he's going to be at Rhode Island Anime Con which is the same weekend as Otakon.

Amber Lee Connors!

That is a load of BS.

They should keep the vaccine mandate at least. Clearly it didn't hurt attendance numbers at all.

It was mandated at MagFest just fine and most pople I saw were complying.

Weeabrews Goes to Otakon 2022

Peak 90's right there.
