It's in the FAQ. :)
(Gods, it's great to *have* a FAQ, so we can say that!)
Scroll back on AOL, and look for messages with "FAQ" in the title. Or
wait a day or two. Someone will repost the info. (I would, but it's lost
in the vast morass I call my hard disks. I sent the Predacons in to find
it, but they haven't returned yet....)

BotCon '94 Information Sheet
What: Transformers Tenth Anniversary Convention
Where: The Grand Wayne Center, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
When: 9:00am-5:00pm, Saturday, July 16, 1994
Contacts: Jonathan Hartman, Chairman David Kolodny-Nagy, Art Contest
209 West Rush Street Box845 Brandeis Univeristy,POBox9110
Kendallville, IN 46755-1741 Waltham, MA 02254-9110
(219) 347-1154 (617) 736-5485
The purpose of this convention is to celebrate the tenth anniversary of
Transformers. Fans, collectors, and dealers are all invited to come and be a
part of this special event. Planned events and activities include:
* A presentation by Hasbro executives on the past, present and future of the
Transformers, including a sneak preview of upcoming toys.
* A special Convention Exclusive action figure available only to those who
preregister. [Not necessarily a TF then...Dave]
* A collection gallery displaying private collections of American, European
and Japanese Transformers items.
* An autograph signing and question-and-answer session with members of the
Transformers comic book staff. (Tentative) [perhaps because the team
itself is tentative - Dave]
* An art contest and auction for fans to show their talent at rendering
their favorite Transformer. Prizes will be awarded in two different
categories.
* A video gallery where Transformers cartoons will be shown, including The
Transformers: The Movie.
* Dealer and collector booths for the buying, selling and trading of
Transformers and Transformers related items.
Attendance by preregistration is encouraged as it will allow guests to
guarantee a hotel room for staying overnight (if desired), and it will be the
only way to get the exclusive convention action figure. The fee for non-
exhibiting guests is $15 per person before April 30, 1994. After that date it
will be $20. Dealers and collectors who wish to set up a booth are required to
pay $45 before April 30, 1994. This includes drapes and an unskirted table for
one 10'x10' booth. Exhibitors will be allowed to bring one helper for the
booth. Additional drapes, tables, table skirting and booth spaces are also
available if desired. After April 30, the fee will be $50. Free bus
transportation will be available to and from the airport on the day of the show
only. Admission on the day of the show will be $5. Lodging is available at
the Fort Wayne Hilton at the Convention Center which is attached to the Grand
Wayne Center. The special convention rate of $62 per room will only be
guaranteed to those who preregister. The Hilton is conveniently designed so
that guests do not have to go outside to travel between the Convention Center
or the adjacent parking facility [and the hotel]. The hotel also has a shuttle
service to transport registered guests to locations around the city, including
the airport. Many eateries are available to guests downtown, as well as those
provided by the Hilton. For more information, please contact Jon Hartman at
the above address. Inquiries about the art contest and auction should be
directed to David Kolodny-Nagy.
[Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce type stuff deleted. For those uncertain
exactly where this is, Fort Wayne is in the Northeast corner of Indiana.]

As an update to the BotCon info, the deadline date has been changed to June
30th for getting your registration fee in, and the price will *not* go up to
$20 after April 30. Deadline for getting in hotel money is a bit earlier, June
20. After that you can no longer be guaranteed a room.
See you there.....

I was, of course, responding to Jylthe, since I know how (his/her) system
works. Other sites store messages for different lengths of time. But, you
can get the FAQ from the TF WWW site.
