Speculation is that the movie will be premiered there.

I'd see about going if I were you. A call to Fun Pub would probably take care of it.

Thanks for the heads-up, CP. Have to check with the girl to make sure I can go.

I'm not as whipped as that just sounded.

Only a litte...entirely...

So I'm gonna need another wingman at the bars this year? Who's wants in.

I'm good at my game and just need someone else to help me with the friends, cause what beautiful woman wouldn't be with friends at a bar?

Just kidding!! Ya'll are my wingmen!! Mwuahahaha!! Ask CP bout last year. I ended up talkin to some very lovely ladies, unfortunately my wing man *coughfluxconvoycough* could not get into the bar we were going to meet the ladies in because of clothing (grrrrr!!). So bring some non TF attire for the night and lets's have some fun!! Unfortunately, last year's wingman is now in a relationship. Goodie for you brotha!!

What up everyone!?! This is my first Botcon and like all of you are beyond excited, however since it is my first, I need advice from members who are veterans at Botcon. I'm worried once I get there Ill be overwhelmed with all thats going on. I've got the Primus Package so I know I can do alot of the activities, but my questions are.....: 1) should I get to the activities early, or will there be lines for the autographs and buying the exclusive toys? Also, I keep hearing about early and late registration....I haven't recieved my confirmation letter in the mail yet, so I'm not sure what my time slot is? Does anyone know how thats determined. Since I just did get confirmation that my package was accepted, two days ago, I'm worried that I'll have the Friday late registration. Can anyone help me with advice or the answers to these questions!?! Thanks everyone...can't wait to have a blast!!!

-You'll be overwhelmed...enjoy it.
-Find other people to hang out with, it's only as fun as you make it.
-Get to the Hasbro panel early and autograph lines early, everything else is cake.

-GET ON THE PHONE WITH FUN PUB...you need to find out that your registration was accepted asap. Not to worry you, but you have to stay on those guys, especially with paperwork.

I'll be giving out a phone number where people can text me for info and questions at the con.

Welcome to Seibertron first of all!! I'll let someone else give ya the full greetings.

OK, as for your questions. Since I'm really there this year for the con and not the toys, I'll be attending most of the sessions, autograph lines, and what have you. I'll wander through the buying area, but once you're done with that, it's really all about the people, fans, actors, and anyone else that is involved in anyway with transformers. I get my stuff online anyway so the dealer room is nice, but not necessary for me. Oh, but I'll be there. When you get your confirmation letter, on it, you will see when you can pick up your box set. Don't worry, you'll get your set cause they will have it set aside for you. What you do want to get in line for are the add-ons. First dibs goes to us, then everything else opens up on Saturday to the public, but I suggest if you miss out on Friday night, that you get in line firt thing Sat morning if you want the add-ons, or a second set.

Also, I do recommend that you come to meet everyone out on Friday night. It's always a blast to meet up with people on the boards. Most other boards will probably be there as well. Everyone will usually wear their badges for easy identification with their Screen names and real names. One of the few times that I will actually call people by their screen names and not their actual names. Don't be afraid to approach anyone, and def introduce yourself. My first con was in 07, so this will be my third and it's really all about meeting my TF friends that I get to only see once a year. Oh, and don't worry about forgetting ppls names, it happens. Sometimes it's just easier to remember screen names.

Look for the asian with a mohawk. That SHOULD be me, but ya never know who else might be sportin the same look....speaking of which.

Yes my friend. WELCOME TO SEIBERTRON!!! WARNING!! SEIBERTRON CONTAINS NUTS!!!!


And as far as finding us, it will be easy. You can approach me like you've known me for years cause here at Seibertron.com, we're not members, we're family.

And oddly enough, Evil here is the only guy I know that can wear a mohawk and it makes perfect sense. When you see him you'll know what I'm saying. See you there.

If you can talk Dy in to it we'll go.

I thought you guys were like a half hour from there anyway? I was expecting to see you two there.

Oh yeah to Botcon totally, but neither of us are real drinkers for a party. Doesn't mean we can't stop in though right?

I can't wait for the party. It's going to be another great time!!! The Seibertron.com bar outting/party is one of my favorite parts of BotCon now. Can't wait to see you guys there.

Hey Counterpunch, did you contact the bar by any chance to see what time they close at? I hope they don't close early. Some hotel bars do.

This will be my first Seibertron meet up. Can't wait to see you guys there.

Count me in =D

For those of you who have never attended our party, a couple quick things.

#1 - It doesn't matter if you have never met any of us outside the boards, the more the merrier and I honestly feel we are an easy bunch to mingle with.

#2 - If you don't drink alcohol, come anyway. Heck, the first Coke's on me!

#3 - If you don't often post here or if you have never posted here that doesn't matter either. We just enjoy hanging out with our fellow fans, PERIOD.

Hope to see you there!

Hey, you gonna be wearing your "First Gen" hat again this year. That was sooo you. I loved it everytime I saw you.

And yeah, we are definitly like a family here. Disfunctional at times, but when we actually get together, it's one big happy family reunion.

Yup, I'm a freakin rat. Got a lil mohawk of my own now too so fancy bars aren't taking me in this year either. Oh and uh, my lady talks to anybody. You're more likely to land a hookup through her than me I'd bet. We'll be there most likely. Somebody gimme a shout that evenin'.

Flux, what day are you getting in? We'll have to hang out a bit, too.

I'm a bit of a lurker as of late but me and my Girlfriend might poke in. I do have a question about the thursday night registration. Is it usually packed? I mean like in long lines? Is it good to be early? and the attendee figures Do they limit how many you can buy because I hate to get there after the online dealer picked up 300 and i get nothin?

Seibertron wrote:Hey Counterpunch, did you contact the bar by any chance to see what time they close at? I hope they don't close early. Some hotel bars do.

They close at 1 AM, pretty much the same as the bar last year.

Packed, yes. Long lines? Very.

Early good. Souvenir sets are limited to one per box set, but I never risk it after 2006.

I want to go! Eh it's cool though. I know one guy in the Red Wings cap, so I may ask him to pick he up something There

Yeah, I'll have that on. And we are a Jerry Springer type fam here but I love all you guys.

Speak up if we're going to see you there!

C'mon in all you lurkers and introduce yo'selves.

Can I wear a Gobot shirt to the party?

vectorA3 wrote:Can I wear a Gobot shirt to the party?

Sure! Counterpunch wears his My Little Pony shirt on day one of the convention as a tradition. Gobots are owned by HASBRO so why not?

vectorA3 wrote:Can I wear a Gobot shirt to the party?

Got an extra gobot shirt in a med? I'd like one of them.

Looks like me and my husband will go to the bar Friday night. I'll try to wear something TF related, or at least put on a sticker or something identifying myself as Ponycorn/Jill. My husband's always checking Seibertron for news but doesn't post. His name is Guy.

I'd ride one of those freakish things around instead of driving if I had my way.

Looking forward to meeting you both!

(btw, there's absolutely no need to wear TF related stuff unless you want to.)

Wear a TF shirt? Thats just nerdy.

I always find my replica 1968 Star Trek Ensign uniform is best for nites on the town.

Well there always has to be at least one guy representing Trek at any convention.

And in a cape.

Hey, I didn't get dress coded when I wore my Seibertron.com shirt and hiking boots to a certain restaurant in Cinci. last Botcon We didn't know we were walking into a fancy place ($200+ for two people) till we walked up the stairs.

Be Nerdy - Be happy.

See y'all (maybe) at next years con.

just kidding about the gobot shirt of course --that's sacrilege and I despise them anyway. Although leader one has been spotted at the occasional Starbucks in LA -the one that Prime and Megs like to go to.

got some car problems that need to be resolved tomorrow -or i won't be doin much of anything - but nonetheless psyched about the get together !

A lot of folks do wear their TF shirts to the hotel bar, which is why I had mine on. At least I had a button shirt that I wore over my T-shirt. I did manage to look respectable for that dinner, but not many people would have been able to pull it off.

The Seibertron.com meet-up is a good place to meet people if you don't know anyone. Lots of good memories to be made with that crowd. Someone ought to take an official photo this year at the meet-up.

What? You're not gonna be here this year Energon? Spend all your money on minicons? :p

Anywho, since we are a week away, I'ma toss up a pic for those that don't know me and I don't think we need another thread just for pics.

Hard to believe, but yes, he actuallY DOES look like that/

Just kidding, my friend - looking forward to seeing you again! Of course we live 45 minutes away from each other and have to go to Pasadena to meet up...too funny.

Prime Evil wrote:What? You're not gonna be here this year Energon? Spend all your money on minicons? :p

I registered to go, then had a conflict of schedule and had to cancel. I hope there will be a whole slew of new japanese minicons by next year to be able to hunt for.

Edit: If you all didn't get a chance to see me last year, I am in the left bottom photo on the Seibertron.com Party collage on the front page. The cute one with wings.

LOL, I was always at the toys forum and didn't find out this thread until today!

Unfortunately I can't get a day off work on Friday, but I will try my best to make it to the bar meet-up.

Cheers,
Coolpop

Ok.
I'll be there workin on some TF art and havin a drink.

They got wireless in the bar? I may bring my netbook so I can play some HMW while I hang out also.

I was hoping to be able to come to the party, but I won't be able to make it. Sorry guys!

Plans have changed though and I may be there Sunday. If you guys want to meet and talk before any of the panels, let me know.

I've met Savage, Sgt. Grumbles and Counterpunch so far and it was great talking to you guys! This has been a lot of fun so far for my first Botcon.

Good times yo!

We just got our first noise complaint.

It was awesome meeting so many new people tonight.

(I am crazy drunk....)

It was nice seeing some familiar faces as well as a bunch of new faces. I couldn't believe how small or unprepared the Hotel bar was though, glad we moved to the second bar and got the party going.

Yardhouse it was!!! Had a great time and hope to see everyone again tomorrow! What up to AC SS, Prime Evil, Ryan, Punch, coolpop, ponycorn, Scott, Nick, grantb, --anyone who I left out -I apologize! lotta names tonite

Shoot...no wonder I didn't find you guys. I went to Charlie's late because I wanted to watch some of the stuff at the Film Fest. I only saw TFW at Charlie's so I left. Still had to drive home and I was already half asleep.

I tried to catch you guys at the Paramount Party. I saw Ryan at a table when we first got there. But you guys left the table before I got there and never came back. Funny thing is we ended up on the same bus leaving Paramount but I didn't know until the bus was already moving. lol

Hopefully I can catch you guys on Sunday.

It was a real treat to meet the Seibertron community and go to Botcon for the first time!

Good times were had by all.

Nice to meet you as well! People i forgot (have tomatoes in hand ) - First Gen, S. Convoy and Guy. If any of y'all are in LA for any reason, look me up!!

Dude that hotel bar was so small! Too bad I couldn't stay longer though once we got to the yardhouse, But I did enjoy meeting you all. Delicon your awesome.

I didn't meet any of you guys.

It was WEIRD, actually. I think y'all must have somehow secretly recognized me and deliberately avoided me. I finally cornered one of y'all at the Hilton hotel but like five minutes later my shuttle arrived, so he escaped with his sanity intact. I even tried to say hi to Ryan at Paramount after he collected his award, but, nope. I got shut down. WAAAAAAAH. Why do you hate me so? (Why am I still here if you hate me so? Masochism.)

I was at the Sheraton at 8:30.

Kind of funny story: I figured I must know SOMEONE there from Seibertron so I just picked someone and started talking to him, in my usual idiotic way. Turns out it was Chris Mowry. D'oh!

Worse yet? Once I told him who I was, he remembered something not very flattering I'd said here about him. And proceeded to hold it over my head for the rest of the evening.

I suck.

HK, social moron

Huh? Did you miss the Seibertron.com exodus from that pathetic box the Sheraton jokingly calls a bar? That place had room for like 20 people, including the bartenders.

I thought I talked to everyone from Seibertron, how did we miss each other?

It was nice meeting everyone. I had a really cool first Botcon experience! Although I am new to the forums I am not new to Seibertron (Ponycorn's husband).

I look forward to seeing everyone next year!
