Venue

This 28-floor hotel is three blocks from the JFK Memorial and across a parking lot from a giant Playstation Move controller. In the summer, they have AnimeFest there, host to overpriced Pocky, Scott McNeil, and all manner of unwashed webcartoonists. But unlike AnimeFest, BotCon 2012's dealer room probably won't be partially out in the hallways.
