Botcon 2013!
Yes, I'm aware that I'm a solid month late on this. I got distracted by... Shiny things.
Yes. We'll leave it at that.
But anyway! Click below for pictures and amazingness from Botcon 2013, wooo~
A solid 100 puggleformers journeyed out to Botcon 2013 to find homes.
We travelled in only the finest, most secure giant plastic bag we could find in the recesses of Cally's garage.
It wasn't bad. Really.
Though we have no pictures of the plane ride -- primarily because we were in the cargo part of the plane -- we DO have some nice photos of the hotel and lodgings!
This was a VERY nice hotel. We had a room on the ninth floor with a spectacular view!
The pool was pretty nice, too.
It was sunny the entire time we were there, and the floor we were stationed on had a FANTASTIC view of the mountains around us.
We spent the day before the Great Mass Adoption simply taking in the view.
The convention center itself was right there in the hotel! Right below us, just an elevator ride down.
Very convenient.
But before we could head off, we had to prepare our banner!
The banner is very important, you know.
Some of us modeled for the banner illustrations.
Bumblebee was easy enough to convince; the humans gave him candy and cookies!
Who knew that crayons could produce such brilliance?
I think we looked quite nice, laid out there for all to see.
We even had some extra little things! Sticker packs, buttons, posters, pendants...
But we also had one VERY IMPORTANT guest!
Lucky Draw Soundwave.
He was the shiniest of us all. Born from very special things, you know.
The humans decided the best way to adopt him out was through a raffle; people had to purchase a chance to adopt him!
There were many, many tickets sold. Over a hundred!
All these people showed up for the raffle!
But there could only be one winner!
Our human picking up the ticket.
Who won, who won?!
This nice lady did!
Who was nice enough to send us a picture after the fact, because we were stupid and forgot to take a picture while there. Oops.
BUT YES! Horaay!
After the convention wrapped us and most of us found new homes -- only two remained! -- we decided to go out on some sightseeing.
'Old town' San Diego was really very pretty.
There were trolleys and old-timey human stores!
We even found a CANDY STORE!
...We ate our weight in candy, I believe. And ice cream. And cookies.
An amazing end to an amazing vacation.
Perhaps next year will be just as nice...!
Yes. We'll leave it at that.
