It begins! I'll be checking it out after I pick my son up at 3:30 lol
Also I wonder it Mattel or Amazon MGM reached out or if MOTUNIVERSE folks have reached out to them yet, to which in a live stream they had every of intention of talking to those guys to try and get some con involvement. 🤔
MOTUNIVERSE is proud to announce esteemed designer William Stout will be joining us this May!!

Nice guests. I've always thought Diane Pershing would be a good get. She was scheduled to appear at the 2020 Power-Con that was canceled due to covid, so never actually appeared at a Power-Con. The only living Filmation voice actor that did cons to not do one.
Not sure if I can come yet or not, but are there hotel discount rates for attendees?
@firefly Yes! It's on their kickstarter page and they said in the stream they're actively working with the hotel to get the best and cheapest rates they can. For example on the kickstarter it lists a 2 bed room, that's a double size if I remember right, as $199 a night.
I'm keeping my eye on it myself too though, I have 2 rooms booked for the weekend that are Queen size but also ne a rly $250 a night. lol
As you gentlemen mentioned!

We have the Power!
If I were to go, it would probably be by myself. Being on Memorial weekend means my kids would miss up to 2 days of school depending on flight days with just a week or so to go in rhe school year and I'm a bit apprehension about dealing with the airports during one of their busiest times of the year.
3 days later and the second stretch goal has been blown past! Onwards to the next and curious to see more announcements!
I so wish I could attend this, or donate to it. Life hasn't been kind of late and money is very tight. I am just happy it is taking off.
@thedoctor I feel you. I'm in the same boat. Hopefully things get better for you.
Maybe I'll get the chance to attend in the future.

@costume-n00b I am really glad it is taking off. I really want to go next year should I be able to travel to the US easy. I did also blow my fun money I could have used to donate on boxing day sales for MOTU figures lol.
