As some of you know I used to live in Baltimore and one of my favorite things about living downtown was the sites and sounds that you could encounter. One\u00a0weekend stands out above the rest and that is Otakon<\/a> was being held. What is Otakon you ask? Well….<\/p>\n

Over 20,000+ and more con goers\u00a0invade Baltimore for one of the\u00a0most well-known and established anime conventions in the USA. Otakon is one of the largest and longest running anime convention in the US.\u00a0Fans of anime\u00a0from all over the world swarm into the city where most are cos-playing their favorite characters.\u00a0Which range from icons from video games to manga and I have to tell you some of these attendees know how\u00a0to cos-play!<\/p>\n

You will also find well\u00a0known performers attending the\u00a0event such a USA sumo wrestler champs, voice performers of your favorite anime, and a bunch more!\u00a0Otakon also\u00a0sports a\u00a0gigantic dealers room where some con goers honestly get lost in because there are so many\u00a0vendors looking to sell their merchandise. Also they have a fantastic\u00a0art show letting artist showcase their work and gives them\u00a0the chance to auction off their work whether it be silent or live auction.<\/p>\n

Pricing:
\nThree day: 80$ (Sorry no one day passes!)<\/p>\n

So if you find yourself in Baltimore in July do your self a favor and hang out at the Inner Harbor you will not be disappointed. Oh and if you are feeling re adventurous why not attend the con itself!<\/p>\n

Until next time Nerds!<\/p>\n
