    try 6 years, the east and west coast has had multiple chances in the past to make it to a botcon, while the folks in my area of the country hadn't. I am just glad i can finally go to a botcon, been waiting since 2005 when i was forced to miss the one that happened in texas

    Texas is cool. If my wife and I can get the time off from our jobs, and her uncle lets us stay with him, I just might make it next year.

    Rooms aren't completely sold out, just at the Botcon rate. They have a AAA discount also that's not too bad. Hopefully they get a new block at the botcon rate like last years.

    Sweet! So very much there. Going to be a kick ass trip. Funny that it will be cheaper to fly than drive for me

    I think SOMEONE owes funpub an apology..... "Dey hatez meh staet!!!!" :lol 

    Congratz to the texans who don't have to fly.

    As for the rest of us: Take a damn shower!! It's going to be hot.

    Shave the neckbeards, use deoderant and all will be well.

    My wife was able to reserve us a room so we are all good to go. We drove to Florida, so this drive will be a walk in the park :D  If anyone wants to join the "Space City Armada" Convoy from Houston, hit me up or check out my Sig!
    Can't wait to see all of my BC friends and fam!

    Why are people crying about the hotel being sold out they will open another block or there will be 2 more hotels that will have some rooms around that area. It happens every year. Just be patient and they will open them up. And for the people crying about the location, like people have said its been on the east and west coast the last 3 times. Im sure next year it will be back to one of those sides again.

    Bummer, was hoping for a northeast botcon. Oh well looks like another year, no botcon for this guy. Haven't been, since the con was in RI. Maybe next year.
