Good: Quicker bag check system this year Lots of photo requests for my cosplay, which I hadn't really expected. The Kabuki panel Bad: More of a personal one, my co panelist and I were sent around in circles when trying to get our badges/panelist ribbons on Thursday because no one at the front door told us where to go, we went to the info booth and even they seemed perplexed about how to get us to panel ops. Took a while before we were able to ask the right person to escort us up there. Due to covid concerns I didn't hang around the con, between events my group

Would be considerate to take a seat at the back if you plan to leave a panel early.

Just spotted this place - https://www.ghostburgerdc.com/ Very tempting! and right next to the convention center

I've never been keen on their menu, tbh.

Just wondering how the autographs will work this year with covid in mind. I assume handshakes and the likes are out of the question, but I don't see how social distance would work if you're getting something signed.

I'm attending this year, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat apprehensive. I really hope mask wearing is enforced.

On the hotel page the Marriot Marquis is still open as is pretty much every other hotel. Guess that likely means we won't be overcrowded at least...

My go to (Vapiano's) is gone T_T so that's gonna sting a bit. But let me recommend Arepa Zone. Its incredibly good and about a 10 minute walk from the con.

I'm going with a modern plague doctor.

I'm just coming up with cosplays involving masks.

If there's no AMV contest this year I'm reconsidering attending.

Hi all, I submitted my panel on the first day the option opened, but later saw the link got taken down and reworked. I never got a confirmation email for my panel submission and I'm wondering if that means something went wrong? Should I resubmit it? Just want to clear things because panel submissions close tomorrow.

Lots of Overhaul cosplayers lol

I just got my second vaccine last week and I do really want to go if the con happens, but will want to see what precautions are in place.

I met a fellow cosplayer from Otakon at Anime USA, that count?

https://www.animeboston.com/news/article/826 Not exactly unexpected but still sad.

I donated, but it would be nice to know the fundraising goal.

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.
