uh lol what the fuckis anyone going to otakon?
>>10973513I will see you there
I will be there. didn't bother making any thread as part of my grieving process, hitting the acceptance stage that this board is done means letting someone else handle it. anyway
>>10973542What happened?
>>10973542Cringe doomer!
Going for the first time, what can I expect?
>>10973548>what can I expect?To be friends with me. I'll be at the Taiko machines.
>>10973546Nothing happened, literally. Except that I ignored all the gripes of "/cgl/ is over" until now. No matter this is my second Ota. The first was ok but definitely a mixed bag
>>10973513This is my first time missing Otakon in a couple of years due to financial limitations :( hope everybody else in the thread has a great time.
I'm one of the people that lives in the area and attends every year with a big group of friends.>>10973548big crowds. impossible line to get into the masquerade. cringe hentail panels. con shutting everything the fuck down at midnight. Cosplays are usually pretty high effort
is it true theres an underground tunnel from the marriot to the con center? I hear about it but can't find evidence
>>10973611it's real. you'll have a much easier time finding it starting from Marriott, no surprise
>>10973611Its on all the maps anon don't act stupid
>>10973542>>10973562Anyone else from FL?
>>10973614>>10973617thank you !
>>10973618I'm from ocala
Otakon seems to have fallen off the map since the move to DC.
>>10973655Didn't they start in DC?
>>10973656No. Their early history is all over the place but they eventually settled on Baltimore, Maryland. They moved to DC in 2017.>>10973655If you look at the attendance numbers it's actually doing better than ever in DC. Attendance was bleeding off in Maryland, but it's been increasing ever since 2022 in DC. They didn't release last year's numbers but 2024 had a record high of about 46,000 people.
