I don't think he's attending in an official capacity. He goes to most of these as a regular guest i believe. But it's cool he does go to these, he's a awesome guy to talk to in person.

If only it were exactly four months later....

This is something I'm going to pass on. Soooo glad that at least the game night night's not being cancelled in favor of it like a few years back. I'm really not a concert guy.

The BotCon 2016 Artist Alley announcements have started! There are going to be a lot of great names revealed today, and each one is superbly talented and a pleasure with whom to talk. So if you're planning to attend next month, I hope you'll take a moment to stop by the artists' tables, browse their art, and chat if you have the time!

The convention will once again have the LARGEST Transformers Artists' Alley of any pop culture convention. Stay Tuned for reveals all day!
