That's so nice that you got to meet a on-line friend in person. ;)^

Once again, waaaaaaay too far away from me. :sad:

If only they'd make a stop at Niagara Falls one of these years...

I knew that this year was the only year that would be within 8 hours away from me during the summer and near my birthday! Why!? Why!? :BANG_HEAD:

Oh and a warning for those who are gonna try the whole "visit friends and family and go to botcon" thing..I give you fair warning..IT IS TOUGH! I tried it this year and wow..I wish I had stayed at the hotel! :BANG_HEAD:

It displeases me very much that they are going back to frickin Pasadena after just being there last year.

Looks like the drought continues for ole FB. 3 years without Botcon is killer. Hopefully they skip Orlando in 2012 (*eyeroll*) and go someplace with some actual significance. Ya know, like a place that's actually being used in TF3 like Chicago or Milwaukee.

FP knows that orlando and pasadena are cash cows..Especially for the general admission crowd..I heard rumors floating about the swan this year that another site was lexington kentucky or ohio..

What was funny is most of the time when someone mentioned the movie no one wanted to talk about it..Not in the traditional sense because of spoilers but they seemed to generally just not want to talk about it...

Can't we get it in Denver just once? Please?

I'd also be happy with it in New Orleans(where I'm originally from and still have family to crash with).

So the savings begin now. I got a taste after going Saturday and want to go full bore one year. I ready to hop on a flight to Cali now. I've also never been west further than Tennesee so BotCon next year will fill a personal desire of mine to go somewhere a decent distance away.

A nice Tennessee or Virginia Botcon, maybe? Something close enough that my entire budget wouldn't go to just getting to it?

BotCon just 15 minutes away, again? There is a god!

I should have tried to go in 2009 seeing it on the west coast.

I'm seriously going to try to head down for 2011.

I don't think New Orleans will ever happen. Dallas or Atlanta make a lot more sense for them. Shame, 'cause I could just stay in Houma or Laffy if they came to NO.

The toys would have to be really something I wanted to go to a Botcon at all though. I could have made it this year. My family left Friday to vacation in Florida anyway, but for that kind of cost and having to deal with Orlando and yucky toys... no thanks.

California again, eh? Guess which BotCon I WON'T be attending. :BOOM:

Is it too much to ask for a location somewhere in the middle of the country?

I'm all booked and ready to go!! Woooohoooo!! My 5th Botcon and it's amazing how each year it gets better and better. I'll be able to visit my cousin again like I did last time it was in Pasadena. I enjoyed Pasadena alot last time and the rooms at the Sheraton have been the largest botcon rooms I've been to. Could fit 6 people comfortably! I'm set for Wed June 1- Sun June 5th. Hoping I can get into the custom class again.

Arrrgh, will they EVER have in in the Pacific Northwest? I don't think we even have our own con up here.

I'm sure the PDX area must have convention centers big enough for it. And no sales tax!

I'll be attending only because I have always wanted to see that area...but man, I loved it back in '07 when I had a 2 hr drive to Botcon

The area is really easy to get around in. It's pretty cool actually. The problem is getting from the airport to the convention center. It's a decent sized trip.

*sighs* California again. :BOOM:

Thank god that they gave us 11 months to plan for this! It'll take me some time to come up with airfare (driving is out of the question this time!), but I HAVE to try! Just had too much derned fun at this past BotCon....Feel compelled to attend again!
