The Energon Pub

As we prepare to enter the third month of 2010, many Transformers fans are already thinking ahead to the warmer weather and the upcoming Transformers conventions they plan on attending this year. Most TF fans already know all about BotCon, and a good portion of the fanbase has now heard of events such as TFCon and Auto Assembly. However, there is also an annual Transformers convention that has been running for quite a few years now in Tacoma, Washington that may have flown under the radar for some.

For those of you who might be interested, here is some info on CybCon 2010, courtesy of organizer Greg Gaub.

Greg Gaub of CybCon wrote:CybCon 2010 is hereby officially announced!
It will take place this year on Saturday, August 21st from 10am to 5pm. The location is the same as the last few years, the King Oscar Convention Center in Tacoma, WA off of Hosmer next to I-5.All the information you could possibly need is available right here:
http://www.ggaub.com/tf/cybcon2010.html

Note that PRE-Registration, as always, is required. You can pay at the door if you want to spend more than you have to to get in, but if you're sure you're coming, PLEASE pre-pay during the early-bird pricing as well as registering.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reply and ask.

If you know anyone who might be interested in coming to CybCon, don't assume they already know. Forward this message or send them the link to the info page.
I will not be personally doing any advertising of this event. It will only be as big as it is through this announcement and what anyone else does with this information.

I hope to see lots of you there this summer!
Thanks!
-Greg

While discounted early bird registration (just $5 for regular admission and just $25 for a dealer's table) is slated to close at the end of February, Greg has been gracious enough to extend that deadline for Seibertron.com viewers who may be learning of this event for the first time. For those who register between March 1st and March 31st, all you will need to do is include "SEIBCON10" in the comment section of the form.

Greg wishes to remind you that if you are using the promo code and wish to pay via paypal, do not pay with the sit's regular paypal buttons. Greg will send you an email with a link to the special discount paypal options once he's received your email.

Still on the fence?

Anyone from Vancouver heading down?

That said:

1) This info was posted before. (by Blurzz, i think) Did it get borked when the site went down the other week?

2) I sent the basics to the News Crew about this ages ago when the 2010 early-bird prices were in effect still, any reason nothing got posted at that time?

1) Yes it did. Delicon just brought this to my attention, so I recovered it from Google's cache of the site at http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:fbv ... clnk&gl=us

2) It's possible that we might have missed this from you. If that's the case, I apologize. If you submit something in the future and you feel that we missed it, please ping us again to let us know. Someone from the staff should let you know if there's a reason why we didn't post something you submitted. We really appreciate you contributing, Editor.

Thanks Ryan.
