Architect of Charlottesville receives preliminary approval for a "white civil rights rally" in DC

400 attendees? Since the Otakon anime convention is going to be in town that same weekend (attendance near twenty-five thousand last year), yeah. There are rooms in the convention center big enough to hold that and more. The lines for some of the videos/panels may have more than 400 people.

Let’s hope they don’t harass any of the attendees (of whom I will be one) in cosplay.

Edited to add: I just saw a post on Otakon’s Facebook page:

“To all of our fans and Members: We would like you to know that Otakon is aware of the proposed rally which would take place 2.1 miles from our event, and the concerns raised by our members. We are carefully monitoring the situation as it develops.”
