ROBOTECH PAST PRESENT & FUTURE
"Join Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles writer Steve Yun...and discusses upcoming new releases..."

"...Also footage from the Robotech Documentary and the animated project will be shown at the Robotech panels."

ROBOTECH FREE FOR ALL
"...Well then here is one more chance to get your questions answered!"

Will "discusses upcoming new releases" mean any new info concerning the new animated movie/project/rt2011? Wonder if this time anyone will post the rt2011 video or at least report on it? Is anyone active in the online Robotech fandom even going to go, will they report anything new - like we really expect anything new - and will they ask questions about the new animated movie/project/rt2011? And hope they don't forget an autograph.

Why the hell would you want Steve's autograph? I guess he could sign your laptop screen when if the rt.com page is displayed...
