BotCon registration soon (apparently)

[griffin]

We've heard the words 'coming soon' often from FunPub when it comes to BotCon registrations... but still be ready just in case this time it is true.

Emailed to members today:

In case you still need a room for BotCon 2011 we have added a 3rd hotel to our blocks. Go to BotCon.com to make your reservation now! We had to enlarge that block today to make sure everyone can get a hotel room that needs one.
Registration is still not available as we are working out some last minute venue issues for part of the show. We will send out an email to all past BotCon attendees when registration goes live and then one to the club membership, so if you get two, we just want to make sure we got you covered.
I can tell you this - we will not be offering a first 100 pin this year. Instead we will offer a first day of registration pin. So, if you register in the first 24 hours after registration goes live, you will receive this special first day of registration cloisonne pin!

The third hotel is called the Pasadena Marriot Courtyard, and is six blocks away, which could be a bit of a walk, but if affordable it would still suit people who don't expect to be buying too much in the dealer room.

I forget but last year did we fax our registration or did they have it working as an online system?

So, Potentially this week?

is there a members only location that we could post to if we see that it's open to give otca members the best chance of getting in to the custom class.

Who is actually going this year? Was considering going to SDCC instead, which will be massive, just need to convince the wife though...

online; so i guess this year will be online too....
Paul, could you help me get the attendee exclusives if nobody has already asked you to?

[griffin]

Hoping this topic will help people here organise their purchases and extras, and be alerted to when the registration forms are online.

I've been collecting for 11 years and that whole time I've avoided getting a credit card but now that I want this years botcon set I went and got one last Friday. It's not due to arrive until around the 12th of this month so what I need to know is is the registration based on past experience likely to start before then and is your card charged for the set when you register or closer to botcon?

I was wondering how registering works. I haven't done it before.

The Iacon pack is for non-attendees right? And that gets me a box set.

I know I'd have to get the attendee freebie from someone who went or ebay, but how would I get the other exclusives like the 2 packs they have?
Someone/ebay or am I able to order them as well?
