    Why is always Freaking Pasadena what about The Place that BotCon begin for It's 20th Anniversary not every time we've had a Movie since ROTF.

    It doesn't help much for those of us in the Southeastern USA.

    Just announce it's always going to be in California if you're going to pull this "twice-in-a-row-bullshit" and drop the pretenses. I hate getting my hopes up only to have them dashed :/

    This Is Horrible News. How Pathetic. This Makes Me Sick! California Gets EVERYTHING! If I Ever Want To Go To Any Good Convention, I'll Have To MOVE To California.

    Yeah, California already gets SDCC in perpetuity. One in six Americans lives in California, but convention organizers appear to think that the whole damn country revolves around this one state. Screw the organizers, their conventions, AND California.

    I'm scanning all of the event ids on their calendar trying to find a match. Only one (event id 12129) is very interesting so far:

    Error

    Botcon 2013 wasn't in Pasadena. So, perhaps the date is wrong, or perhaps the employee you spoke to was wrong. Hmmmmm.

    Right, which is why it's odd that the Pasadena Convention Center has it on their calendar.

    I dont care where they hold it, I just want at least 12 months notice. 6 months is not enough time to save up money, and put in time at work.

    ^THIS!!! Except the "I don't care where they hold it part". I think they should have a midwest how alternate each year. Pretty fair, right?

    not only are plane tickets expensive, but hotels and the general cost of living are super expensive in california. If Funpub wants me to spend more money at their convention and buy more product from THEM they should find a cheaper venue. If I don't spend 400 dollars on a goddamned hotel room, I can spend that 400 dollars at the con itself.

    Seriously Pete, move the con around. give the east coasters and Central folk a chance. (just stay the hell away from New York because it has the same problem as california).

    Or maybe think about doing Regional Botcons: three per year, one East, one Central, one West (same set of exclusives though, none of this regional exclusive bs)

    Houston ain't too bad in the Spring (I can understand staying away in the summer though). and we have the Reliant Center, and George R Brown convention center. and in nearby Galveston there's Moody Gardens. (also Houston is super close to your Headquarters in Dallas so shipping everything there would be super cheap)
