    What are the definitive start and end dates? I'd like to know now, so I can at least book the flight. Once I know which hotel or convention center, I'd like to get the one closest too the convention.

    If its in Providence Rhode Island it will most likely be in the convention center next to the Providence place mall...I think its the only convention center in Rhode Island.

    While the location is not good for me, the timing is. I might have to give myself one awesome birthday present (June 29), and go to it. Now to see if I can get some time away from the store.

    ive been living on the west coast for 7 or 8 yrs now and Cali has all the big conventions (Comicon, E3, animeexpo, and all types of tv and movie type things) Its about time that the east coast gets something. Then again the east coast is awesome with or without conventions.

    That's certainly awsome for me, considering I live less than a half hour away. I'm stoked as hell now, especially since I was not able to make Botcon this year.

    It's going to be hard for me to get there, living in MI and all, but I'm going to try and make it.

    My Birthday is on the 13th of June so I'm gonna ask for plain money for my birthday so I can have some extra money for when I go ontop of the money my mom will proberly give me when I go. I'll proberly get a hotel room so I can get there easily for the entire convension even though I'm only like 30-45 minutes away from the convention its just that I won't get my licence till i'm 18(my time is too precius also with the stupid resctricons for minors now a days. Because of that I would have to wait for my mom or her fience to get up to drive me there and I plan on being at the convention both days for the entire opened time.

    Weird...

    I just checked plane ticket prices and it's more expensive to fly out of Oakland here than San Francisco... I would've thought it would be the other way around...

    But the lowest price from San Francisco to Providence roundtrip is $330 whereas Oakland to Providence roundtrip is like $540...

    I think they should have the convention in Chicago every year, or somewhere around there. Center and a popular enough city. Then again, I live in Illinois...

    Awsome! I have to say it's about bloody time.



    As to this whole "alienating the west coast fans" thing, all I have to say is take the broomstick out dudes. Botcon 04 was in Pasedena and I didn't hear anything about "alientating the east coast fans". Hasbro's based on Rhode Island, we're getting tours of their facilities, plus it's just prior to the release of the new movie. What better place could there be? Suck it up boys, we're going to Rhode Island. Yeehaw!
