I'd say find potential SOs at a convention but sometimes those can be a bit...scary.

Yeeahhhh.........agreed.

I do enjoy the enthusiasm and passion fans have at conventions, though. It always brings a smile to my face to see people having a good time at such gatherings.

I wanna go wait in line for Botcon, everytime I see image or video of Botcon I wish I was there myself.

I'd love to go to BotCon someday. For now, my goal is TFCon.

I subcribe to several European Youtubers who are TF fans and regularly review TFs. Their videos on Auto Assembly 09 seem to have the same message that this year's AA was a great convention because of the way a lot of the fans got along. No doubt people were eager to find figures on their wish list at the dealer room but it seems the highlight of many peoples' experience at AA was the social aspect of simply getting together with fellow fans at the con. I hope my future con escapades will come close to that kind of wonderful experience!

BotCon and AdultCon are the two conventions that I really wanted to go to.

Do I want to know what AdultCon is?

Maybe, maybe not.

I have no shame. If I'm getting a figure, I usually am by myself and rocking along with my ipod while spinning said figure in my hands while possibly sort of dancing. I do get a chuckle out of the clerks that ask if I want a gift receipt though. See, I have a faction symbol permanently inked into each forearm and I normally have some comic or pop culture related shirt on. Normally I just smile and say no. If they look at me though, I have to wonder if they're serious or seriously dim.

Both Autobot and Decepticon insignia tats? That's pretty sweet, kinda like a real-life version of Punch/Counterpunch or Doubledealer.

I'm gettin' an Autobot tat here pretty soon. Well, several "dorky" tattoos pretty soon.

Cool, I'm not the only one with the Emblem(s)in an open location. And cutienerdgrrl77 where you thinking of getting the Tat? (if you don't mind me asking?)

Went to pick up the Superion RofT Reissue, and there was that same mom again (From when I picked up Bruticus). Before I even say hi, her she started up a conversion about what I was doing this weekend?! (I think she was hitting on me!!!). We got talking about this and that and both me and her where walking out there with the same toy.

Where on my body? Ankle, with the rest of the dorky tattoos (Star Wars, etc).

Please tell me you got her phone number. If not, go back right now and camp out there until you see her again.

Its funny becouse i'll always be wereing a tf shirt when i go out and i'll be like damn it! becouse i'm 13 and all the little kids would be staring at me(same with the parents). honestly yes it is uncomfortable but its worth finding what you want!

I think 13 buying toys is completely normal in most other adult's eyes. Wait till your in your late 20s and walking into TRU alone.

Right, or semi-early 30s in my case...

I did, turns out she is a Transformer Fan too. Primus smiled on this lonely D-con today.

Autobots on the left arm and Decepticons on the right. I plan to get the Beast Wars factions on the outside of each leg below the knee. I simply haven't done it yet. Oh, and more of a Doubledealer thing. Counterpunch is his own (two?) bot(s). I like the dual faction characters quite a bit so what people normally see makes me chuckle to myself. I've been called a traitor by several other fans. What's their problem?

**sigh** why can't that happen to me?
I'm happy for you, though.

Ditto, 32.

Score! Transformer high-five.

I have helped out a few moms in my day (ha, that sounds hilarious when you read it), but I have never gotten digits as a result.

I for one think it's pretty sweet, and even sweeter if you actually went ahead and got those Beast Wars factions tats.

Hey, we shouldn't ask for anything in return for helping others right?

Yeah we should help other just because, but it is Very awesome when things work out.

Oh yeah, it feels nice to be the lucky Bastard for once . . .
