Reasons to go to Botcon...

Postby Hot.Rod » Fri May 25, 2007 10:32 am

I have a question for all of those who have attended Botcon before. I have never been, so I don't know what it is like. Thankfully this year I will be able to go since I live about a half hour away.

So here is my question...what happens at Botcon? For those of you wondering, I am not a registered attendee. I just planned on going with the general public. So is it like a car convention? You go around to different booths? Does the general public get to see the new stuff?

Somebody please let me know!

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, where does Botcon take place?
Life can be pretty sweet when your alt-mode is a B-2 Stealth Bomber.

The only reason I would go this year:

Classics Thundercracker, Thrust, Dirge, Thunderwing, & Bugbite. That's it.

I'd go to Botcon if I won the lottery. That and Comic Con.

Agree with all you said Sigma Prime. Those are the reasons I go to Anime cons. Cosplay rules![/quote]

The fact that it's in RI is enough reason for me to go. However Im already going to Portcon this summer up in Portland, ME.

When is Botcon again?

I'm considering driving up tomorrow morning from Jersey and doing the General Admission thing. Think I'll have to wait long in line? I assume it's too late to get any of the convention exclusives (Alpha Trion, Springer, Thundercracker and Dirge look nice) - I'm assuming I also can't get in to the concert.
I haven't been to Botcon in a decade.
