Welp, I was one of many attendees of this year's Otakon who paid the extra $15 to have the badge mailed early. Since getting a COVID wristband is mandatory for this year's con, they offered a special line at the Marriott for those who already have their badges (like myself) to get said COVID wristband. Immediately after getting that COVID wristband earlier today, I moseyed on over to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center with the intention of getting my 18+ wristband (it was after 3pm at that point), only to find out that this year, the con officials won't let you do that on Thursda

Agreed. The Cambridge Analytica debacle made me very reluctant to join Facebook.

Hi everyone. At last year's con I finally decided to try Wild Bill's Soda, and plunked down $35 to get the mug one can use for free refills throughout the weekend. I ended up enjoying their soda a lot, so I was delighted to find out they'll be back for this year's con. I've got one question, though: If I bring back the mug I got last year, can I still use it to get free refills during the entire con? Or will I have to buy a brand new mug? Thanks.

Got mine yesterday.

Well, sadly the board has gone back to being slow again. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I just remembered some more anime titles to add to my double-dipping list: Wings of Honneamise: The Royal Space Force Vampire Hunter D -- Bloodlust Howl's Moving Castle The Castle of Cagliostro Lupin III (the Red Jacket series) Detroit Metal City FLCL Memories Metropolis Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Chobits

Any double-dipping I've done (at least as far as anime is concerned) was between DVDs and Blu-Rays. Here are the anime titles I've bought in both of those formats: Akira My Neighbor Totoro Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Spirited Away Black Lagoon Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack Ninja Scroll (the movie) Cowboy Bebop The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water

Yep, I've been treating myself to dinner there the day before the con the past five years it took place.

Seconded. Also: When will you have a map of where all the rooms will be?

Just curious: Did you skip mailing the lanyards for budget reasons?

Well, I'm certainly grateful to live in a state governed by an actual M.D.; he's taken this pandemic seriously and done a fairly good job managing it thus far.

Seconded. I sure wouldn't mind seeing some of the gals from Hololive. I guess we can rule out Kiryu Coco, though.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic myself, so last week I reserved some train tickets for Otakon weekend. I'm a bookkeeper for a home construction company, and since housing-related workers are classified as essential, I was fortunate enough to get my first of two scheduled shots a couple of weeks ago with my second shot to come next month.
