OMG!! DECEPTI-CON!!!!
« on: April 01, 2008, 10:01:14 am »
OK, time for me to Fangirl all over the place....

I can't believe I missed this! registration for Decepti-con is FINALLY open!!!! SQUEEEEE!!!!!!!

This is the COOLEST CON EVAR! I went last year, the inaugural year, and it was a blast. I don't know what was cooler, the insane transformer cosplay, the autobot conga line of DOOM (aka. Registration), or the 7 FOOT TALL MEGATRON *ICE SCULPTURE*! (darn my camera all to heck...*cries*)

Tom's got a great article on it here.

If ANYONE has pics of the ice sculpture you will be my best friend forever!

You can find more info on their site here:
Decepticon!!
You'll be loved, you'll be loved, like you never have known. When memories of me will seem more like bad dreams. Just a series of blurs, like I never occurred. Someday, you will be loved.

I wouldn't call my LJ post an "article" but I'm glad you liked it. I was just commenting on the stuff Patrick told me about really.

He didn't mention the ice sculpture though, now I want a picture of that!

I got the money transferred out of saving and into my checking account now so as soon as I get on my lunch break I'm going to pre-reg.

Hooray for other conventions!

Unfortunately, we couldn't perform there last year but I was still able to attend and donate some Slants merchandise for prizes. I really enjoyed watching them blast our album out on the giant Soundwave boombox (he's the dark blue robot that transforms into a Deceptacon ghetto blaster).

I hope that we'll see some more K-con kids out there this year!

I totally want to hear you guys play the theme song. I'm going to email their relations guy and tell him to book the Slants. That would so rock.

Google maps actually puts most addresses in the middle of intersections. ;)

True, but you'd also think there would be a hotel name or something ;)

Maybe they can't release the hotel name because of the insane low rates the convention is getting. Maybe if fans started registering.......
