Don't you love it?

"Breaking news: We will soon have breaking news!"

It's, like, so meta.

this isn't news until it answers the five questions of information:
who what when where why?
we don't know the two most important ones: when and where.

COme one everyone...you know the best place to have a convention is....ROCKFORD ILLINOIS. :shock:

Seriously, I still think Chicago, Bloomington-Normal (college town...bars everywhere!), or Indianapolis would be ideal. It really only makes sense to have it in the Midwest as we are the only region to not have our own independent TF con...which sucks BTW. :-?

Fun Pub is infamous for teasing us with non-information about Botcon, but as long as we hear where and when in say, the next 3 weeks or so, I'll be happy.

And guys, no matter where Botcon is, you should make a point to go if you never have. Trust me, it's worth it!

For all those TransFans about to mess their pants with excitement about BotCon 2009... hold on to your Pampers...

...No real info offered, just a tease.

... Still about to mess my pants...

You only go to Botcon for the toys? ...which you can buy online anyway?

First off, it is a LOT cheaper to get the toys from attending Botcon itself.

Secondly, as you said, the fun of Botcon goes well beyond the toys!

Never said that.

But if my happy ass is gonna be taking off work and driving out of state(cause face it...it won't be in Kansas), I would at least like my souvenirs to be from a line that I care for.

And before it gets mentioned yes, I'm aware that there are a large number of dealer tables to fill my toy needs...but i could buy those online as well

who knows, they may even produce an animated set that i like

If you hate the toys, there are a gazoodle of people who will take them off your hands (and you can double your money). If you have never been to a Botcon you really need to go, I can't stress that enough. It's about a lot more than the toys/dealer tables, you have to go to understand.

The Seibertron parties/hangouts are worth the trip alone.

For anyone who is newer to these forums or missed the thread last spring, take a look at some of the fun we had this year at Botcon. My wife and I are in the third picture, although I look about 20 lbs heavier for some reason.

I just started collecting a year ago, so I've never been to Botcon, but I might go next year depending on the location. I haven't taken a vacation in a while, so I'm hoping it will a cool city, somewhere better than Cincinnati (no offense, residents of Cincinnati). I'm hoping for Boston or Chicago or Miami or San Francisco or somewhere exciting.

Think if I pray hard enough, Botcon will be in AZ?

I consider that an honor, thanks.

Leader Class?!
Oh my god, man, I thought I was gonna fall out of my chair. That was hilarious, Del. I'm just thinking of all the ways I could apply the class scale to other things in conversation. "Well, you see, this cheeseburger is deluxe, it even says so. But this one over here, that's a Voyager burger!"
