At tonight’s Hall of Fame dinner it was revealed that the 2011 BotCon convention will be taking place in Pasadena California once again!
June 2nd through 5th 2011 are the dates you are looking for. Expect updates on the official BotCon site including hotel reservation links shortly!

That was DAMN cool at BC09; presented by Michael Bay and everything. Very cool.

I would imagine it would be the two minutes of footage. Especially if Bay is editing right up to the premiere.

with the con being a month before the movie, will they sho the movie or do what they did 2 years ago and show 2 min of footage ?

A.Prime
will they ever have michael & paul Dobson back along with Wally Burr

The location was fun during last year (2009) which I had a fun time and it's cool that it is going back for 2011, but I am a bit sad to say that there is a chance that I "might not" be able to go back for 2011 due to cost(s) and the chance that I "might have" a job by then.
If I don't get to go, I hope I can find people who can help me obtain the convention-based exclusives (attendee figure & Exclusive-Packs).
Have fun either way,

<Edit: I just see how it goes in regards to me going or not, no promises.>

I'm in LA so I like the idea of Botcon being in Pasadena again. I just hope we get better figures than 2009.

I'm sure ppl could've partied in Orlando though….I was at Disney last summer and they had the best pina coladas ever…well that's the only time I've ever had them, but still haha
Dragonclaw
Yeah, she said it was fascinating…not really my cup of tea, but heck, she puts up with my toy collecting how can I really object to her being a bit morbid at times
Insane Galvatron
BW means Beast Wars, and VOK was a race of aliens that were in the show.
A.Prime
I am going as I just reserved my room as this is my 2nd Botcon as my 1st one was in 2009 and I loved it
The only thing that annoyed me was when we was at the party and they showed like 2 mins of clips
I rather see the full movie or none of it and I hope they have great guests like they did in 2009.
Coming all the way from UK did annoy me about that and since the con is one month before the movie, I wonder about that
also as I didnt go this year, are they still doing the fax crap to register ?
what does BW and VOK mean ?
FMA1987

It was nice being on the bus that didn't have to go back for people because we got back to the convention center way earlier to get in line for the exclusives. I got out of that mess in less than an hour. Pretty good considering what time people were there that night.
Grimlocka go-go
Yeah that guide was awful. and the fact that we had to wait for some chodes that missed the bus halfway through the tour really REALLY made it an annoying tour. But still, the la brer tar pits were cool. and some of the stops were fun to vist
Blue Meanie
I am not going to another Botcon until its in Las Vegas. Eventually it will get to Vegas, and I can actually party before and after the Con festivities.
FMA1987
did she like the Museum of Death?
Dragonclaw
We had the guy who's entire bit was "If we turned left here we'd see something really cool…but we're not turning here…it's your invitation to come back…." Missed the peeing guy…My wife took her own Hollywood tour the next day when she found a brochure for something called "The Museum Of Death" and decided it sounded MUCH cooler than being dragged around to look at toys by her husband…apparently they make you sign a waiver to even go into the place…
FMA1987

Any FL TFW's Out There???
Anyone else from FL planning on flying cross-country for this one? We're considering it….

The best part of the tour was seeing that guy walking down the street and peeing at the same time. It was pretty amazing. He clearly had perfected the art of walking and peeing at the same time. If I tried that it would make quite a mess I imagine.
I wasn't on the bus that had to go back for someone though so you might not have seen him.
SanDiego would be awesome. My wife would love going to the zoo and Sea World which is great because it's easier for me to justify the expense of a Botcon trip if it's something she will enjoy as a vacation as well.
