-The walk to Cobo is roughly 15 minutes, possibly 5-10 more if you can't find your panel room/event. It's hoodie weather for people used to cold weather, possibly raining but no snow yet. Plan accordingly based on your weather tolerance.
-The Japanese Consulate is on the 16th floor of Tower 400. You basically can't get there without a card swipe from someone who works there or have an appointment. The women love talking to black guys, but not white piggus.
-Arrive to panels that are important to you at least 20 minutes early, if not earlier. Lines form and fire hazard population restrictions are strongly enforced, so it's possible to not get into something you want. Consider travel time and plan ahead.
-There's a new salad place in the food court this year, pricy but good and a lot of variety for vegans/vegetarians.
-If you're a 3DS user, carry your power cord with you to recharge in panels and sit near walls, check your street pass mode regularly because you need to check your people 10 at a time. You can easily collect & reconnect with over 100 people a day walking around and doing stuff, usually 10 at a time looping the food court alone. If you're into that, it's pretty awesome. It's a huge drain on your battery throughout the day though so stay charged.
