I wish I could say I am. My finals schedule along with the fact that I'm already making a trip down to FL (and will be seriously low on fundage afterward) make Botcon almost impossible for me :-(

I'm not totally ruling it out, but I highly doubt I'll be able to attend.

Well, hopefully you can go, its AWESOME!!

I never see you at school anymore and I'm there a lot!! Will you be finishing your finals on Thursday or Friday?

Edit: Wow, two posts in a row worked :APPLAUSE:

Now to see if my private messages get through :-?

Sounds like you are all in Ann Arbor. Anyone in the Detroit area?

(sighs because he misses the Ann Arbor Area!)

Welcome!

We are all over place, but a good portion of us are in the A2 / Canton area.

Well, sadly I have to return to homework :sad:

I need to finish it tonight so "I can has Super Bowl" tomorrow

Edit: Hat Trick :grin:

I'm working on it... I'm trying to introduce them to the household slowly, as a sudden rush of moody and/or crazy mostly-Decepticon jets might cause trouble.

Ah, but I still covet your green Lambo Roadbot.

Still planning on the day-trip from hell with three friends (one local, two from Shel-bica)... drive down early Saturday, drive back late Saturday.

I've had reports of new Real Gears at Wally's in Lapeer, but it was from my buddy who was just stopping through where I work between whatever the heck he does on drill weekend. I'll catch up with him Tuesday and see exactly what he found.

I plan on going to Botcon depending on money issues and such.

Yeah, Laura and I are going to make the trip again. Hopefully I signed up early enough to get into a customizing class again...

The real gears look okay, but like I told you, not good enough for me to grab anymore of them. I think the only two I really like are the MP3 player, and the digicam, but I still could not get myself to buy another digicam.

Yes congrats sparty!! Add another Transformer fan to the roster. :grin:

I'm on for Botcon too, I just can't decide if I want to go free and clear, or commit to running a booth for the weekend.

Yep, decisions, decisions.

BTW I've got some $$ for you. Are you still in for helping me out at Botcon? I want to be sure before I start the registration process.

Sweet! Yes, I will gladly help you at Botcon. Just keep in mind I have a lot of shopping planned on Friday night and don't want to be tethered to a table too long :grin:

By the end of Friday night, most of my money will be gone anyways and I'll be hitting up RC13 for cash advancements. He's my own little personal ATM

The Wallet Rules!! :grin:

yeah.. just remember, I'm going to vegas at the start of the month, so if I don't win out there, your personal ATM maybe Out of Service :grin:

I plan on being there in some capacity, probably full attendee, but I'm still alittle wait & see on the set. Plus my work scedule is TBD.

In other news, have you seen this auction for the Cliffjumper upgrade kit? Insane, it must be Casey Kasem driving up the price! I was willing to pay $30 for it, but that's ridiculous.

Got my confirmation for BotCon the other day. Glad to see my fax got through, I was a little worried there. I can't wait to go this year.

Whoolsey

Who did Whoolsey take over for, Namor or Aquaman?

I thought Marvels Atlantis was destroyed by Namor, so it must be Aquaturd... I mean man :grin:

Picked up my Stockade today at the PoHo Walmart. There was one left. I need to get him out of his bubble...

TRU still hasn't reset properly. I wonder what they're waiting for...
