Otakon has a tenative schedule of the panels already (subject to change). What is really neat about this is you can actually log into Otakon and save the events you are interested in an online Event Planner. Why did I never realize this before.
Anyways the schedule doesn't include concerts, autograph sessions (but these are usually directly after the panel) and other main events but it includes a nice selection of what is going on.
And wow I can't believe Otakon is already the weekend after next. Time sure flies by quickly
Friday

Not much on Friday but the Jam Project concert will probably be Friday evening. Hopefully it doesn't interfere with Kappei Yamaguchi

Masao Maruyama Q&A (G)
If I can I would like to go to both Kappei Yamaguchi's panels but really I am just including both on the schedule because I will have to make sure to line up early for his autograph. It will be Seki Tomokazu all over again. Yah
Not sure about the Masao Maruyama Q/A. I would like to go but it looks like it is too close to Kappei Yamaguchi.
And I would like to make all the main industry panels if possible this year. I really wonder what Bandai Surprise is.
Sunday
Track/Location: Panel 4 (Ballroom 2) | 9:00AM - 11:00AM
The Last Unicorn with Peter S. Beagle (I)
Track/Location: Panel 1 (Room 337-338) | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
ADV Announcements (I)
I am really interested in both these panels this seems to be ADV's first real panel since all the license cancellations so it should be interesting.
And Last Unicorn yay (Childhood Love). This time I will get Peter S. Beagle to sign my Last Unicorn Book
Oh and of course lots of time in the Dealer Room. My dream find is the
Kino Figure. It's expensive but I know I would definitely buy it if I saw it. Oh and I need to pick up the last Hagaren tank.
