Alas, add me to the twerp list, as it'd cost me roughly $7000 (PLUS airfare and Botcon fees) to go... I'd have to close down my restaurant on one of the busiest weekends of the year.

Can't we ever get a Botcon in October or January? *sigh*

I highly doubt TLA can go... The only convention he's ever been to is a Bluegrass Festival in Kansas.

a little offtopic..

Can someone post some pictures of a botcon. I am looking for some pictures that tell me how big the venue is. The dealer room for example.

I do want to attend a botcon (at least once), but if that happens... I have to combine it with a holiday. Just fly up & down would be to expensive..

i'll probably stay in daytona versus orlando and commute friday and saturday. as it will probably quite expensive to stay in/around orlando. the daytona commute is 30-45 minutes tops.

i can't wait!

quick question -
do I read the botcon2010 brochure correctly in that:

primus package = $375 for non TCC members or $305 for members
TCC membership = $40 and you get a TCC exclusive for free
...

so it would seem better to go for the TCC membership + primus package for $40 + $305 = $345 and get an extra figure in 2011, no?

am I missing something?

You must know some sweet back roads. I have never been able make that treck that fast. Apparently as the crow flies is 44 miles (71km).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_4
Daytona I-95 exit 132
Orlando exit 68 First one for Disney
64 miles/30-45minutes = you should slow down, too much traffic.

A little off subject. There is the ACME super store between Orlando and Daytona. It is off I-4 a ways but not too bad. Pretty cool store too, lots of vintage and new stuff.

905 E State Road 434 # 100

twerp....,

international flight costs go skyhigh

Post by **trance** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:07 am

See you at botcon, guess we never set up any place to meet, but I will be there only on Thursday for packet pickup...we're numbers 1296 and 1301 (I think) which puts us in the 7pm line. We'll be the ones with the crying baby unless the wife decides to leave and get a hotel, in which case I'll be with my brother =P

If someone takes me I will repay you back with lots and lots of hugs!!

Computron · Post by **Computron** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:24 am

Too bad Trance, Thursday is the day I can't go. Plans have changed for me as now I may not get to be there till Saturday only. Weather issues in Philly brought me a missed connection to Orlando. Stuck here in Philly still as there were no more flights out after I got cleared through customs.

Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff and already sold most of it, I still have the 2 double packs, if anyone's interested!

Post by **Minerva** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 2:37 am

Silly question perhaps, but who are in the double packs?
Rapido + Cindersaur and Scorch + Doublepunch?

Also;
I hope everyone who did go to Botcon had a great time, and I'd like you all to tell us twerps (who didn't get to go this year) all about it. Pictures would be great!
