Botcon 2008 location revealed: Cincinnati, Ohio April 24 - 27th!

not chicago, but maybe I'll go

WKRP???

It's closer than Los Angeles would be ... heck that's not that far of a drive. It's only 8 hours away, which isn't that bad at all.

Not bad. that's 4 and half hours due south of me.

I'm not sure if that was meant for me, but I doubt my parents would be up for driving me. Plus, I got school, and if you miss a day of High Scool, let alone 3, you're doomed. Especially since my school would count it unexcused.

Damn I got school!

So who wants to bunk up with Down_Shift again? Seibs, Fender... I'm looking in your direction. Remember Fender, I still owe you one.

But seriously, I'm in like 1337-sauce.

I'd be willing to house a couple of guys. Don't take it as an invite for funny business though.

Tax Return = Botcon

At least that's what I'm hoping.

Also, on a related note, Ryan thought I was crazy when I went to Lexington 2 years ago by way of Cincinnati. Now I at least know the way!

Is registration up?

Quick! Seibertron.com staff! We need to figure out a way to take over theMuffin's place!

Oh I am so there! That's only a couple hours drive for me, much closer that last year! Can't wait to see everybody again!

OHIO!!! YES!!! Just a 4 hour drive across the state for me!!!

Damn, too bad I don't live in covington anymore.

I feel your pain I wished it would of been in Florida

I'm starting to get this feeling I will never attenda Botcon in my lifetime

You called, buddy?

I hope you guys and gals all have a great time at BotCon! Just remember to take some photos for those of us who can't make it, eh? And enjoy your Bizarro TFs!

Yes.

Let me reiterate.

Yes.

One more time.

YES!

TheMuffin and Botcon all in one place!

Fender. If I am moved out before then, you guys can stay at my place. Though I am about 3 hours out from Botcon. And a forewarning. I'm not bunking with you guys. I get the feeling I'd go deaf from all of the snoring.

Well the TAPScon will be in Clearwater in July and its about 45 minutes from me

TAPS

The Atlantic Paranormal Society from Ghosthunters maybe I can get to meet Jason and Grant

Ooh maybe hit Star Wars weekends at Disney MGM also


To hell with Botcon

Aw, you're up by Cleveland instead of Cincy, aren't you.

Yup. All I know though is I'm bringing Rock Band down with me. Crank the music and go apeshit out in the hallway of the hotel.

Dang why can is it in the north, has Botcon ever been in the southern states I gots school to.

It was in North Carolina once and twice in southern California.

So, as a noob, should one plan on attending all of the days or just the weekend? I'll be in Michigan the week prior to Botcon and Cinci is on the way home to Florida.
Did someone say rock band? Reminds me of my Gencon days.

Not a very good chance for me to come...for several reasons: 1) distance to travel (2,022 mi (3,254 km)); 2) expenses to get there and most important I have to work--my full-time student teaching.

I call Drums.

Fair enough. Now we need a vocalist...That isn't completely tone deaf like me.

....KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

why does it have to be so far away!?

That's why I like the drums. Hit stuff, make pretty music. No pitch required .

That's only like an 8 hour drive. Maybe 10 at most if you stop a lot. I can get from Toledo Ohio to West Virginia in 4 hours non stop. Hell dude just take a boat across the lake into Sandusky harbor. Then just hit 75 south.

I'm still saying BotCon should be a touring convention!

Yea, but I haven't had my passport updated for quite a while. Along with me being a little short on cash, so it seems I'm going to have to wave as this one goes by. At least theres still Transformercon to look forward to about two months after Botcon.

Oh. Oh hell. I live all of 140 miles from there. Haven't been to a BotCon since the last one in Fort Wayne. Don't know if I'll have the money. But I wants to be there...

Gotta try and talk my best friend into going again...it'd be fun for old times' sake...

Ohio, can I get a "Hells yeah!" for Botcon coming back?

Heck yeah, thats only half as far as I had to drive last year! 11 hours away is a LOT better than 23.

I am SO there.

Or Down_Shift and you could carpool from Toronto.....

Nice. I was hoping it would be driving distance for me again. Less than seven hours from Buffalo.

Fender Bender wrote:Or Down_Shift and you could carpool from Toronto.....

That is true. Now I just need to scrape enough cash together...

not far from me and a bit of time to prepare for! YAY! Methinks I can make it! It'll be a new experience for me, since I have wanted to go as long as I knew there WAS a BotCon! *starts saving her nickels and dimes RIGHT NOW!* Will ask off work on Friday! Any Midwesterners: WANNA ROADTRIP IT?

Pyro is excited now!

Shouldn't be too hard for you Canucks and that more valuable currency of yours!

Actually, I believe it's just on par at the moment. 1.01 or something of that jazz. But you never know, it could spike up again.

I wish it was in Florida (as an official apology from Hasbro for still not restocking stores) but from the looks of the logo it appears to be Animated based. So no thanks anyway.
