Without getting into specifics, many of our contracts span multiple years, so it's not always a simple thing to "reconsider". That being said, it's certainly something we can ask about and seeing what steps they're taking to address. The article has no mention of police reports being filed, only "allegations on social media".

We've sent out information for an online orientation this Saturday, if you can attend that. Otherwise, come to GoferOps and we'll see what we can do.

Maps are on our location page and have been updated for 2021: http://www.otakon.com/info/location/ Click the Venue Maps tab.

Yeah, it does make it easier on the mail processing machines to have the envelope as flat as possible also means (hopefully) fewer delivery issues. Also means we can fit more badges into a single mailing for those who order multiple. Plus, it's better for the environment if you re-use a lanyard you already have! And yes, cost is also a factor since we didn't want to have to charge more than what we already are.

As is tradition, we like to give you fine Otaku on the BBS a little heads up before we make the big announcement to the world tomorrow... The schedule is available on the website: https://www.otakon.com/schedule/ ! Note, we're still waiting on final confirmation for pretty much all the video rooms and photoshoots, so those rooms are currently empty. But we expect to have that by the weekend and they'll get added. There's also a number of Guest panels that always take the longest to get confirmed, but those will also be added as we get them. Guidebook is happening this year and

Tokyo Attack is not able to return, but I do know they're looking at alternatives. When we get the list we'll update the website: https://www.otakon.com/exhibits/gaming-hall/ Note: The tournaments have been posted.

We put in the main late last week, so please allow time for delivery. I'm double checking with Showclix why the tracking codes haven't been showing up in the system, hopefully that will happen today or tomorrow at the latest.

We'll also have lanyards available for pickup if you don't have your own. Though re-using your own lanyards is good for the environment and helps save us money!

We (Otakon) keeps a hold on a block of rooms in the Marquis for our own needs (staff rooms, guests, contracts, etc.). The unused rooms were recently released, hence the extra availability in the Marquis.

I'm disappointed only about 10 of you called the phone number. 😛

Yes, sorry about that! I don't have a date yet but hopefully soon. I live in Oregon and have been affected by the big ice storm / power outages (we've had no power since Friday 2/12). Since I've had many people ask, the chickens are fine and the voting results have been...interesting.

Agreed. Please keep this thread on topic. We're very sad to hear the announcement about AB2021 but know they're making the only decision they really can right now.

We do have people exploring various options for ways to get you opportunities to help support us with things like limited edition 2020 merch. We'll also be looking into re-opening member registration so if you missed the early bird rate, you'd be able to lock in 2019's rate for 2020. Nothing official to announce yet, but keep your eyes out.

Hopefully that fixes the title

Lastest word I've seen from ShowClix (as of ~10 hours ago) is that fulfillment on their end is complete -- this means all badges should have been placed in the mail. Please allow time for delivery and keep an eye on those mailboxes next week. Sounds like they're still working on getting all the tracking numbers imported, so it may be another day or two before they show up, but you can check their "My Tickets" page: https://www.showclix.com/my-tickets . (note, only the billing contact email address for the order can log into that page)
