botcon tix

It should be pretty clear to anyone who has listened to the uncleCasts or read the posts carefully that the Uncle has really been the driving organizing force behind our trip to Botcon. It was only on his good recommendation that I purchased a higher grade of ticket, along with a pass to the charity pre-screening of the movie this coming Thursday. It was, therefore a small surprise, though still a sad one, when I thought that it had all come off the tracks this morning. I tried to call The Transformers Collector's Club to confirm all my registration details, as I had not gotten anything in the mail, and it appeared that my credit card had not even been hit with their mighty fee. I was met with a recorded message informing me that the nerve center for this entire convention, and the last best hope to reach a human, was closed for the 'botcon holiday' and would reopen on July 5th. Awesome!

After worrying about it all day, and figuring that I'd screwed the trip before it had even begun, that train got back on the tracks as quickly as it had left, with both a credit card statement confirming the processed charge, as well as the paperwork confirming my place at the con and at the pre-screening all arriving today in the mail. And I was worried...sheesh! That's a whole 2 days early; no problem!
