So TFcon...

Torque · 07-10-2012, 11:15 PM

What is it? Worth going to? Only convention I've ever been to is NYCC a few times, trying to get a feel for what to expect and see if it'll be worth the 9 hour drive and of course the $$.

So any fun stories to tell? Cool stuff? Please, tell me all about it

TFcon is the best con. It is a weekend of stupendous awesomeness filled with bavarian cream. TFcon is a party deep in your very soul. It's awesome-frosted excellence cake served with a side of perfection. You want to come, just so one day you can tell your future grandkids that you were part of it. And they will stare at you in awe and bask in the divine afterglow of TFcon that you WILL STILL HAVE because once it has touched you, TFcon never leaves you. There is no shower on earth powerful enough to scrub the glorious funk of TFcon from your physical form.

You......... your joking right.

How about this. Our dealer room has more dealers then Botcon 2012.

Good enough?

or........ what Peaugh said.

Also you can get poutine.

I've only been once.
Quality exclusive toy.
Fun and friendly: Toronto is a nice town.
Great dealer room, I've seen things there I never thought I'd get a chance to see in person.
Nice atmosphere, fun for hardcore collectors, kids and just general interest.
Good conference sessions: I enjoyed the guest speakers more than I thought I would.
I've never been to the other big TF conventions, but this is a quality show and lots of fun.

The atmosphere at TFcon is completely different from other cons that I've been to (especially Botcon), and I don't mean in terms of nerd-funk. It's well worth going, if you can make the trip.

Can't wait to get up there for my second time!

Went to one, it was effing great. Even a socially awkward guy like me who brought his own friends got to do some serious bonding, both with fellow fans and with writers/voice actors.

If you have time and money, it's just going to be a hell of a lot of fun.

You had me at Bavarian Cream.

Only one question-What's up with friday? TFcon's site says it starts then, but doesnt list any events or anything like that. Something about tickets? Can someone explain?

EDIT::Ok, 2 questions-Price of food? Anyone?
