Hello!

Here is the start of the information you have all been waiting for:

BotCon 2008 will be held in Cincinnati, OH at the Duke Energy Center.

Convention dates are: April 24-27, 2008

The hotel is across the street and is the Hyatt Regency.
You can make your reservations online by using the link at BotCon.com or call:

888.421.1442

Note: There will be tours and classes offered on Wednesday April 23 and
Thursday April 24. Currently Shawn will be teaching his class on Wednesday and again on Thursday so we will have 50 slots. We are also working on potential classes in sculpting and or molding as well. We can't answer any specific questions currently but we wanted to give you a heads up for your hotel reservations needs.

Convention registration and details to follow....

Don't delay as last year's rooms went in less than a day....

Thanks for your support!

Brian

PS. The con set is really going to shatter your world....

It's closer than Los Angeles would be :) ... heck that's not that far of a drive. It's only 8 hours away, which isn't that bad at all.

I'm not sure if that was meant for me, but I doubt my parents would be up for driving me. Plus, I got school, and if you miss a day of High Scool, let alone 3, you're doomed. Especially since my school would count it unexcused. :P

At least that's what I'm hoping. :D

Also, on a related note, Ryan thought I was crazy when I went to Lexington 2 years ago by way of Cincinnati. Now I at least know the way! :lol:
