I, too, am looking forward to the 18,210th edition of Otakon.

Looks like some 2023 pictures have finally gone up at https://galleries.otakon.com/f483294978 Not too many, though, and it doesn't have things like the Formal Ball pictures that people look forward too. I assume more pictures will be uploaded later.

It has now been 6 weeks since Otakon 2023 came to a close and the Otakorp Galleries for the event have not yet been added. The galleries for 2021 and 2022 were up within 3 weeks. Can we get some assurance that the galleries are still a work in progress and are planned to be added sometime soon? People have been asking about them and looking forward to seeing pictures, particularly those who got their pictures taken at Lyra's Formal Ball or Masquerade participants who got photos taken at the photo booth the night of the masq.

I posted these other places but I only have a couple suggestions: Ray Chase, Max Mittelman, and Robbie Daymond, jointly of live stage show Loud, Annoying, and Very Annoying (L.A.V.A.). They were very fun to watch at Otakon in 2018 and come with an all-ages show and an 18+ show. MOS, a very cool all-female neo brass band who have a repertoire including anime and video game arrangements. https://youtu.be/1L6kXN_UoLo?t=665 Now as seen on America's Got Talent: https://youtu.be/zlqZv4ZKY7I Finally, T.M.Revolution seems to come around on the round numbered Otakons (Otakon 10 and Otakon

Depending on what you're searching for, you might not see some of the smaller hotels because they only have double occupancy rooms. For example, if you put in that you have 4 guests, you'll never see Morrision-Clark, Eaton Hotel DC, or MOTTO by Hilton. Once Otakon figures out their actual room needs for staff, any rooms at Marriott Marquis and Renaissance they had blocked off for staff that aren't needed will be released to the general population. No ideas on when that actually happens, though.

The thus begins the Panel Feedback thread for Otakon 2023. Leave your thoughts on panels you attended and let the presenters know how they did.

I'm a couple days late on this, but thank you for getting the Event Statistics page updated.

Ok, I got one. For musical guest, there is an all-female Japanese brass band called MOS that puts out some sweet neo brass tunes. They can be can be seen on YouTube and TikTok https://youtu.be/CSQtFFdTMTQ https://www.tiktok.com/@mos_brass?_t=8WV7KRquVGo&_r=1

Ray Chase, Max Mittelman, and Robbie Daymond, jointly of live stage show Loud, Annoying, and Very Annoying (L.A.V.A.). They were very fun to watch at Otakon in 2018 and it would be awesome to see what they put on in 2023!
