    Sweet! It's the total opposite end of the state from where I am, but I'm totally there!

    Sucks for the east coast people, but us west coaster appreciate it when they have BotCon out here.

    YES!!!!!

    If this information is in fact true, then this will be the first Botcon I will ever get to attend in my life.

    This is truly a historic occasion for me.

    Congrats West Coasters!

    I must say I was surely expecting Midwest(ish) and closer to the movie opening being the 25th anniversary and all.

    I can't get to Pasadena, it'll be WAY too expensive to go from the UK to Long Island and then to California. Fucking A. I'll be missing that then. Thanks FP, you can count me out. :(

    The cheapest route I found was Copenhagen - Atlanta - Los Angeles, and home: Los Angeles - Atlanta - Paris - Copenhagen. $1000....

    Well.... that's a bummer. We have a friend that lives in Van Nuys so we MIGHT be able to bunk with him. If so, watch out. My crazy dad will be showing up. :lol

    I'll definitely be there -- using my flyer miles to pay for my ticket! I was hoping for a mid to late June date, but end of May is still ok for me, doesn't interfere w/ school at all. Looking forward to going down to Botcon for another week.

    Hope I'll see you there Aprim along w/ Baccala1976, and Chris :D 

    As usual this means that we should have at least $300 ready for the registration fee Jan/Feb. ;)

    Very little chance we'll go. I do have a friend we could probably stay with in Van Nuys, but I don't know if I want to drive that far...though a road trip for the new beast might not be too bad. Can't fly because there is just too much stuff. Surprised it's not closer to the movie, unless they're actually planning to have a real premiere there this time and giving the fans a 2 month sneak peek.

    Edit: I see the wife beat me to it.

    May?!!? You are fucking kidding me. What happened to June?

    Boy it's a good thing that I already booked my flights to the UK for June so that I could hop across to the US for Botcon. Oh, wait.

    Oh wise and wonderful FP, thank you for jerking us all around and leaving everything to the last minute. I dare not question your perfect ways for yee know bestest.

    Another fine job from the outstanding chaps at FP.

    I'm not sure I can swing it. CA is just a wee bit out of driving range from Virginia. If it were later in the summer, I could merge it with vacation, but now that's tough. Remember though, Vegas is about 2.5 hours away.
