Great...I was REALLY prepping to go to my first BOTCON in 2011, and they put it in the FURTHEST FRIGGIN' US LOCATION possible, California!! (I live in Maine).
Well, I guess all this does is increase the airfare...

Hopefully I can. Im prepared to give up a lot to be able to afford to go. Hopefully the dollar stays at a reasonable level so I can afford to otherwise I need to save up more money to cover my butt.I wanna get the Primus package for this. I was talking to one of my "aunts" yesterday about doing this( she has known me for years and loves that Im proud of my nerdiness she said go for it. Of course the parents won't like this idea thinks Im a immature little girl.

Time to start saving up, will be saving money on air travel and hotel since I live in SoCal but I'll probably go hog wild on spending.

Well the good news is we already know the date and location so you can start planning now..At least it's not last minute.The earlier you book flights the better. I was worried about cash this year as well but it turned out to not to a huge issue..The key is to know what you want and stick to it...
I know with the add-ons and stuff it came to about $230..So figure $350(primus)+$230 starting cost( unless they somehow lower the prices LoL)

Ok that's fine. Just a idea to get a group of Australian fans together to go. Just a thought simply used your name as an example.

Trying to buy my own place remember! Then you can come visit.
Plus Botcon? You might end up meeting some of the weirdos from this site! And Counterpunch! (Who I apparently sound like)

Don't get me started. The Midwest especially gets ZERO love from BotCon...in addition we really don't have our own con while every other region of the country does. So we get it up the back door twice over.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
No offense to Californians, but there are plenty other places they could hold this event..

Well the midwest region gets Dairy-Con. While I know a lot of people on here could care less about it, I honestly would love to attend it. The farce type nature of the event has always appealed to me. And i'm STILL hunting a Toiletbot. And let me clarify on my original post some, so as not to offend too many people. I have lived most of my life in the woods essentially & everywhere in California i've been was way too crowded(i'm somewhat prone to S.A.D.). I would love to go hang out with the Seibertron members but I really do wish they would have a Botcon in a bit more, shall we say, sparse location.

Though I think I say this because I really don't know what I'm missing out on yet...I'd like to see BotCon a little closer to home (Denver more specific - but even as far as Las Vegas, Dallas or Kansas City would be alright). At least California is the happy homestead of a few of the 'ol relations - it'll be easy to combine a respectful visit with the in-laws in Malibu with a BotCon ho-down in Pasadena.
I was completely crushed that I couldn't go this year - just couldn't justify the funds to go. But at least the date and the place is set and I've already got the BotCon fund going. Wow, now the hard part starts - waiting until next June!

Well back when it was run by 3H Productions it was rather frequently held around the midwest... 'Course they went bankrupt. But still, It would be nice to have one someplace closer like Minnesota or Indiana again.
I mean, wouldn't be easier for people on either coast to get there that way?
Eh, I'm probably wrong about that.
