So here I sit at Botcon 2010 and the Botcon 2011 website is already live! There is also a link to the Sheraton Pasedena website for room reservation booking, but right now it’s saying the block has been filled, which seems a little weird. Especially since I’m not hearing from anyone here who’s successfully booked.
Anyway, check out the new page here!
UPDATE: Reports are coming in that fans are having more success by calling the hotel directly to make the reservation. If you’re ready to book, maybe give that a shot! The Sheraton Pasadena number is (626) 449-4000.

I just made my reservation for June 1-6, but…I think the group rates are already sold out. When the reservation agent went to book my room, she received a message to contact Brian Savage. I'm going to send him an email to see what's up, but I went ahead and reserved a room at the standard rate. She said there are only a handful of rooms left, and they are all single king beds. If you want a room at the Sheraton, you had better hurry!

Huh, I'd LIKE to see something with the vok/swarm/liegemaximo…
Maybe its a transtech takeover? Kinda an alternate version of beast machines. Just drawing a correlation between the vehicons and dominance over cybertron. I dunno, those aren't maximal and vehicon symbols.

The funny thing is I'm staying the same amount of time as you are (May 31 till June 6th).

I called @ 8:10 in the morning on Sunday, and also got the "5th is not available @ Con rate". But for $20 extra, eh…. And I may well not need it.
So I haz 2 rooms locked in right now – and plenty of time to rustle up a group of people to fill them

Oh, I'm aware of Octus' existence. But we haven't seen any Who references since the Marvel Comics run, so a Dalek-themed BotCon would be awesome.
There's no way in hell it'll ever happen, but wouldn't it be amazing if it did?

Maybe it's FansProject invading <_<
I'd like this, but I'd rather the Gobots be released under a mainline rather than be limited to Fun Publication toys.

Well I got in for Wed-Sun, with a King (called at 5:30 this morning) but while they couldn't get me the 'con rate for Sunday I did get some kind of special that got me in for $142 for that night in the same room…I'm not gonna complain about a $3 difference.

What a pain! I called, but the woman said that there are no Double Beds left for Sunday night, and no King beds available Tuesday-Saturday night straight, meaning that I *HAVE* to change rooms now. All because their stupid online reservations don't work properly. What a pain in the ass.

I just got off the phone a couple of seconds ago and booked from May 31 to June 6 with no problems and a king bed. The only problem that I had was my credit expires before the date of the convention, so she had to change my year on my credit card to full the system. I just have to call back in with my new card when I get it.
I would take it that they have only so many rooms available per day.
Say 20 rooms for one day stay at the convention rate
20 rooms for a two day stay at the convention rate and so on.
In the past couple of years, I have always made reservations when alot of people could not. The longer you stay at the hotel the easier to get a reservation.

This is what I had to do as well, I think it might be a glitch in the setup and the 5th wasn't included. The lady I spoke with got everything setup so I won't have to change rooms, but sadly there were no king beds left only doubles according to her.

Invasion? Hmm…that could only be the reason why there's been a communications disruption. (Anyone who gets that joke gets a cookie)
This does sound interesting. Maybe…an invasion of the Machine Wars Transformers?

I would literally shit a brick if that happened.

Transformers w/ Junkions vs. Quintesstons w/ Go-Bots?

It's not that crazy, there was a transformer that supposedly transforms into a dalek, I think his name was Octus.

How can the block possibly be full ONLY for the night that the con ends, and not for any nights that the con is going on? And how can there be not even one person reporting they booked for the night of the 5th as part of the block? It doesn't make any sense.

So how much was the group rate as I can't seem to find out on the web. And the system seems to say that the block is full. Maybe the system is down again or is it really booked out already?

The wife just booked our rooms and the hotel said that the Botcon rate was not available for the 5th but it was only $20 more so we went ahead and booked it at the regular rate.
