TFCon's Event schedule is up:

TFCon 2009 Events

I'm pleasantly surprised to find out there will be TF-related events on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. Since the show is combined with the 80s Toy Expo this year, I was thinking that Sunday's events might be wholly Toy Expo related things, but that's not the case. There are some interesting new panels that I am looking forward to checking out, as well as the old favourites like the script reading with the voice actor and the Hasbro panel.

Wow, so the Pizza Party is on the official schedule?

And things look up for this year (FINALLY!). This should be my first TFCon, going to be weird not having to cross borders to go to one of those things.

Yeah. I'm respectable now.

Actually, this is the third year I've done the pizza party and as of last year, they stopped doing the former official convention breakfast. Why pay $25 for cold eggs and toast when you can pay $10 and stuff yourself with pizza? So the pizza party pretty much IS the convention dinner, and it's tradition now, so....there you go

I hope you can come

... oh. I was not aware of this.

so the only difference will be... the dealer room will not primarily be TFs? 80's toys... hrm... vintage... not my thing.

The dealer room always had a variety. I've seen Star Wars booths and GI Joe booths there the past few years. And the Toy Expo tended to focus on TF, Star Wars and GI Joe. Also, I see the Sunday events are still TF focused--there's no GI Joe panel or whatnot, though I'm not sure if the 501st Stormtroopers will be there or not. I honestly don't think the "Toy Expo" part is going to interfere significantly in our robot love fest

Just to be sure RE: the Pizza party: Linkup at the Double tree, then it's a mob up to the meetup place?

Nope, the party is AT the Doubletree. Come down to the con suite, register, look for the signs, and wait for the za to be delivered.
