Griffin's BotCon Adventure (non-news bits).

[Paulbot]

Accomodation is not usually an issue, because the Convention organisors will secure discount rates (although a limited number though, so book early - you don't pay anything until you check in).

I will book a room in the convention hotel, but I was planning on going to the US for a few weeks, visiting a few other cities, as well as going to BotCon (although BotCon is the main reason for going).

The Trivia contest requires 5 members, but depending on how many we have going, I can always beg some friends over there to join our team.

I think we might get 5 members there, and STL, noob knowledge could be just as useful, for instance you've watched Beast Wars much more recently than I have.
