BotCon 2008 April 24th-27th in Cincinnati, OH!

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 09:21:54 EST

Okay folks, Master Collector announced this yesterday at Botcon.com. I got an email that says the following...

Quote:

BotCon 2008 will be held in Cincinnati, OH at the Duke Energy Center.

Convention dates are: April 24-27*, 2008

The hotel is across the street and is the Hyatt Regency.

You can make your reservations online by using the link at BotCon.com or call:

888.421.1442

Note: There will be tours and classes offered on Wednesday April 23 and

Thursday April 24. Currently Shawn will be teaching his class on Wednesday and again on Thursday so we will have 50 slots. We are also working on potential classes in sculpting and or molding as well. We can't answer any specific questions currently but we wanted to give you a heads up for your hotel reservations needs.

Convention registration and details to follow....

Don't delay as last year's rooms went in less than a day....

Thanks for your support!

Brian

PS. The con set is really going to shatter your world....

*date corrected from original email after followup from Brian at MC. Emphasis added at end of message is mine.

You can also direct reserve a room HERE.

My daughter and I WILL be attending this year, since it's within driving distance for us. (okay, 7 hours, but still, it's cheaper than flying and we haven't had a long road trip since OTFCC'04 in Chicago.)

Who else is goin'? Huh? Huh? Anyone?

My cable company has changed from Time Warner to Comcast and last night my IP changed to a Comcast one without warning. DNS should update today and you can reconnect.

TF Movie Teaser Trailer - Breaks Download Record Already!

Posted on Michael Bay's Official Website Forum..

Quote:

On a side note, studio sources report that the all-time trailer download record was broken today by the TF teaser. It beat Spider Man 3 by a landslide. Just though you would like to know.

In 12 hours we beat the Spider-man 3 download record? Is that for a 24 hour period? Either way, it shows there is a LOT of interest for this film. Grab your popcorn! It's going to be a beautiful ride.

I know it's BotCon weekend, and it's not exactly Transformers related, but we love all 80s toons here.

From an Voltron.com:

TF Movie Transformers announcement!

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:26:47 EST

I just got this e-mail from the Transformers Movie site:

Quote:

Giant Freakin' Robots are coming.

It's here. Finally -- the word we've been waiting for. The announcement of ALL the TRANSFORMERS appearing in the film.

On Friday, 8/18, at 11am, the screenwriters - Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman - will announce the character names via a live webchat on Yahoo.

For fans, this is our chance to interact with the screenwriters, ask them questions via text and hear their answers live!

A live chat. With the writers. Of TRANSFORMERS. 'Nuff said.

On Friday morning, go to www.TransformersMovie.com for the link to Webcast!

See you online, everyone. Roll out.

They don't mention what time zone the 11am is in, so I'd suggest checking the movie site starting around 11am EDT.

[edit] I've seen an announcement somewhere else that has it as PDT, or 2PM EDT.
