I'm all for thursday cosplay gatherings and checking into the hotel early, and I know this probably goes without saying.. but if you do happen to come to the hotel on thursday, please keep in mind that the convention doesn't officially start until friday afternoon.. which means that their will still be guests in the hotel that are not a part of NDK. So if you're hanging out in the public space of the hotel, try to stay respectful, and not go screaming through the hallways like a mad man lol. Thanks for listening!
