Baltimore Con 2017 Report 1 1

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Had never been to the city of Baltimore before.   The plan from staying in and commuting from Alexandria, VA and back each day got changed at the last minute to us finding a room near the Con.   Found a hotel with a five minute walk from the Con and booked it for two nights. 

The area surrounding the hotel:

Not really, this looks like the Lexington market area, this does not really represent the area. Your Hotel must of been real cheap!!!

As people walked in, the Minions would clap.

Easily double the size of Boston or at least very close to it. This pic is on the outskirts of the quietest side and does no justice to the capacity Saturday crowd. It was typically fuller as Saturday's go vs Friday and I feel I walked many miles today alone. More great buys today as well as more great meets.

My comment had more to do with Blowie's inimitable photo style than a comment on the Baltimore Con itself.
