I doubt it would be here in Florida

It would of been cool to have it at Disney World since they are coming out with the Mickey transformer and Disney World is a two hour drive for me

Oooo, please be Atlanta. That would rock for us GA fans.

Please be in my hometown of Memphis!! Birthplace of the blues!

I knew it wasn't going to be the Northwest, but the East again...

I hope it's in Florida too! Like in Orlando or Kissemmee. Then my whole family would go. Even if they don't want to go to the convention, they can just go to the tourist stuff down there. And if they want and if they're previewing it, they can probably watch ROTF too.

P{robably won't be able to make it then if it's down there

And you might even meet me! Man, Botcon near where I live… I can only hope it’ll be here.

Praise Jesus, hallelulah!
To think, even the slim chance that BotCon could come to my neck of the woods! Hells yeah.

Hmm....Southeast huh? It could work....with some creative accounting and resourcefulness, I could work that out....

......I will, however, wait for further details, since this is not really set-in-stone yet.

COme on bro...you should have seen this coming. The East is where EVERYTHING important is (allegedly)...just watch ESPN. Apparently there are no other NFL teams besides the Patriots (oh, and the Cowboys), MLB folded all teams except the Yankees and Red Sox, and the Celtics have already won the 2009 NBA title.

P.S. Can someone PLEASE shoot Tony Kornhiser? He needs to just go away somewhere...

Does Memphis actually count as Southeast? I'd lean towards Raleigh, NC or Atlanta, GA. Atlanta would be nice...been wanting to see the new aquarium down there...supposed to be even bigger than Shedd in Chicago.

I would but it's not available here, just SNP and SportCentre on TSN.

The southeast huh...

Well I'm in the northeast, so a Botcon trip may be possible for me again. All I need to know is dates it's being held and the state it's gonna be located in. Then I can start my planning.

if it's in Tampa, PARTY AT 420's! :DANCE:

by **Zeonic_Miko** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 1:00 am

*sigh* I should have guessed, always the east. Maybe someday we west coast fans will get a break. I'd like to go to at least one botcon but 2,000+ miles of travel really isn't an option. :-(

That and a Northwest con would rock, people would get a chance to see the place many of the stories take place. :wink:

Oh Lord, a summer convention in the southeast. Why not have it in a place where the weather is actually *tolerable* at that time of year for those of us not insane enough to live there?

News Credits: 1 · by **Gandalf** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:11 am

I also hope it's in Florida. That really increases the chances I'll be able to attend. Everything fun like that is usually in the northeast or far west. Dragoncon is about the only thing we get over here, and I haven't even been able to go to that.

And the weather is just fine here.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that...

...They should have it in Canada. We have very mild summers. It's bad enough being a room fill with sweaty Transformer fans, don't put them out in the hot Florida summer sun too. There's not enough deoderant in the world.

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 8:25 am

If that's the case, then I guess I'll just have to settle for the Toronto Convention this year

News Credits: 16 · by **It Is Him** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 8:30 am

Florida summers are the best time of year. Some of you up north have no idea how awesome 100 degree weather is.

Also, I'm speculating either Orlando or Atlanta.

Hey folks, just wait till they give us a place and I'll get to organizing places to stay, events, and accomodations. (Time to call in some favors too...) Take heart those that are in a galaxy far, far away. We can probably help you out.

We will invade your house.

Except that in College Football they ignore the fact that the Gators are the best team in the country and continue to focus on the stupid Big 12 and the pyramid of lies that their records are built upon.

Heck, I'm in the Athens area too. We've probably passed by one another in the toy eisle at Walmart, Target, or TRU. I'm not holding my breath that it'll be at the Classic Center.

Atlanta would be a great place for it (especially for me, since I have family there!)

If it's in Atlanta, we're all meeting up at the Clermont Lounge!

Pete on the club boards pretty much shot this down:

Oh, and Seibertron needs a new tipster. Seriously.

Of course, it could just be "misinformation", but with as delayed as this has been, that'd just serve to piss people off more, so hopefully they wouldn't do that.
