We are offering a family friendly environment for families and fans of the franchise to come and enjoy all of the events over the weekend.

I'm planning on going! My friend, Jared, started talking about this convention last year, and, since it's not too far of a drive from Alabama, where we live, we're stoked! Can't wait!

I'm so there. Seibertron.com meetup, anyone?

Already got a panel lined up. I'll be there!

If this gets favorable feedback I might do it the following year since Im in Florida. Then I can pass by Atlanta on the way home and check out the legendary magic city.

I'm still debating about going, but I don't know if I can afford the traveling expenses to this year since I'm going to NYCC. They do seem to have their act together and really give what the fans want. I'm already impressed for their first year.

Thank you so much for the kind words, We are trying our hardest to give everyone a great show. We do understand about the expenses, especially in this economy, that's why we are so focused on being affordable every year.
We hope you can make it, if not, we will be here every year and we hope to see you!

Following the news from Dairycon we brought you yesterday, Savcon has released this statement:

Late June in Savannah, you say? Then South Beach a day later? A nice lazy summer road trip along the Eastern seaboard then back up to DC? $30 admission fee for the weekend? Booty clubs? Affordable... sounds like fun.
