This is my first year going to otakon. What should I expect? What kind of events are there besides Q&As with voice actors? Are there vidya gaems, specifically SSBM? How cheap can I get anime there? If I see a Bridget, should I take my chances?

I'm leaving in about 5 or 7 hours and I'm not even packed yet. Damn it.

Yes (very yes), overpriced, yes.

It's more fun after everyone leaves or relaxes late at night and there are only /b/-tards roaming the halls screaming "I HAVE A DRACULA PENIS!"

Do you have to sign up and pay to get into events, or are they free?

I went to Gen Con last year. Massive fail. But, I've heard Otakon is much better. For example, there aren't as many fat, foul smelling recluses. Sure, every con has them, but that was everyone at Gen Con.

I've never actually been to a convention but I live pretty close to Baltimore.

Can you pay at the door or do you need to buy a ticket in advance?

I'm considering going, but I've made no plans in advance (hotels and shit) or told my family. Not really sure how they'd take "HI MOM AND DAD, GONNA GO DRIVE A FEW HUNDRED MILES FOR SOME ANIME WOBSITE, SEEYA IN A FEW DAYS"

One of the people in my group didn't make the deadline to preorder a pass. The way I understand it is it's a first come first serve deal for people who just show up.

All of the good/close hotels are probably full now.

I can't go to Otakon, even though i wanted, i live in Europe and the flight ticket is pretty big.

Needless to say that 860 is a modfag and he's living with his parents.

But that's because he's deleting my replies and setting up posts to keep me from posting(Duplicate file entry)

Look for buyritedvd in the dealers room. The animu they sell are closeouts, but pretty cheap. For the most part, it's MSRP hell. You could probably do better at Suncoast or even the Best Buy not far from the BCC.

Did anybody get a pic of the really awesome Soundwave cosplayer? He had like legions of fans bowing down saying they weren't worthy.
