Don't say the West Coast.

Hmm...let me try to decode this cryptic tweet.

So BotCon will NOT be in 95% of "yours all" backyards. By "yours all" I assume they meant the world. Then that would mean BotCon will be in an area where 5% of the worlds population do live. So with 4.48%(I assume BotCon rounded up) of the worlds population, that would mean BotCon will be taking place somewhere in the United States of America. Am I right?

It's going to be on Wall Street

Considering when those cell phones commercials say they cover 95% of the US, my town is never in that 95%, so this makes me hopeful. Then, of course, I know for a fact it'll never come here to my town. So it's good, but bad. Just stop teasing and give us the location!

Yayyy. I actually got credit for something. It would be great if Botcon were in North Carolina.

I'm waiting for them to have it in Hawaii. That should set off a lot of people.

I love announcements of announcements.

That was my first guess after reading the tweet! LOL.

But after more thought, Alaska seems more likely, because they said "drive" as well, and I can't see them hiring a water or air transport just for all the stuff they'd need to ship to the location....
So, after that thought, maybe it will be in the middle of the contiguous U.S. instead, to save costs! Everybody wins by sharing the burden! LOL.

/mindless prattle

There's any number of places it could be.... I joked on another forum how we'd like it to be in Death Valley (for photo-op purposes), and then we got on the topic of Scotty's Castle. Hardly ANYONE lives out there, but I doubt they'd be able to get that as a locale anyway, LOL.

So, to answer the question, we must ask ourselves, where do most of us not live, yet there is a large enough convention center/space for it to be held?!

Um... has anybody considered Boise?

San antonio is lovely that time of year Not to mention the TFCC is only a few hours from me, up in ft worth....Would be nice to not have to fly for once

Another pointless tweet.

I am thinking Chicago is a good possibility, mainly as they haven't had one in the midwest since they moved the old botcon out but also as the city had such a huge part of the last movie...Trump Tower perhaps?

alaska. guarantee it.

First Aid, buddy, I gotta feeling you are NOT part of the 95%

I don't know why Hasbro does this. Not everyone can afford a pricey trip like that if it is somewhere like *Alaska*. It would be common sense to have it somewhere were a lot of fans can go. I really just hope it's a rumor to mislead us fans on trying to guess the right location.

I have my fingers crossed that the location is Phoenix, AZ! That way it will only be a 40 minute drive!!

Me too!

Now that would be awesome. I was just over there this weekend, and I know I could get there easily thanks to family.
That just seems too... lucky for me.

Honestly, it has been a long time since it was in Rhode Island, which is a small place population wise. But is the population of NYC 5% of the nation? Making it in 5%'s "backyard" but not the rest of the country?

Just thinking here, but I really want to know the date more than the location, because that will be the real big determinate!

Yeah, I live in a small town in eastern WA so I am hoping against hope that it'll be within a one state radius

If they do have it in Hawaii or Alaska, that would cut attendance too much for it to be worth it. Also considering the population for the east, southwest, and south, I would probably say either the Midwest or northwest. That's my prediction.
And do they realize it's been "a few days" now? GIVE US OUR LOCATION!
(Let's hope that while I typed this, the location went up!)

EDIT: Nope, but Season 3 of TF:G1? Sweet. I've been withing for that for so long!

Probably...

WOW. What are the ODDS?! Just this week - after the teaser, but certainly before today, I had been making plans to move to Dallas. OH GOD, THANK YOU.

But did they really think not many fans live there? A city of 6 million, and a good chunk of my Facebook friends live in Texas, with a few within a small distance of TFW. CRAZY.

Well, that means I can make BOTH Savcon & Botcon! Praises! Hallelujah! DDDD
You've NO IDEA how crazy this is for me and how blessed I feel.... :')

Wait, isn't that the same weekend as DairyCon? aw crap...someone clone me!
