BotCon 2012 Location Announcement Coming Soon

Reads announcement: FINALLY!!!!

Reads Tweet:

If it ends up where I think it is...*gets goosebumps*

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?

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!

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

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?!

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

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?

That would be cool...forgive the pun. Soooo...who's up for salmon fishing and a cookout?

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.
