griffin's complete BotCon adventure write-up.

[griffin]

Well this certainly took longer than expected. The full report and photos that I promised as soon as I got back about 11 days ago, are all done. Going through all my photos and searching the net for ones I was missing or needed better copies of, resulted in having 257 photos to process, edit and use.
The result has been a very long-winded report, that may bore most of you, but just scrolling through all the photos should interest some of you. I put in as much info as I can, for my own future reflection. And maybe give some of you a greater feel of what BotCon is all about.

The main page can be found here:

Study hard, as there will be test on this next weekend...

Hope this has been worth the wait. Every year it takes ages to do up these reports completely, and each time I fool myself into thinking it won't take as long.

The photo with the pig faces is disturbing.

Thanks for the wonderful reports! The Art Contest pieces were awesome!

Really like Hunt for Primal, Nova Prime, Movie Frenzy and the custom Potato heads.

Added the Hasbro product display page. Now the final page, the brief bits. Not brief enough though...

I like the 5 Autobot Bumper Battlers... Maybe I should have collected all 5 Autobot Cyberslammers from the movie... (6 if counting both 74 and 08 BB)

And the final page is up. The report is complete and online now. Let me know if any part of it doesn't come up, as I haven't gone and tested it all yet.
