I live in Australia, and have been waiting for Minecon to be near my country or in it, but it's never close! There are millions of peope out there who want to go to Minecon, but can't because it's in the US almost every year. In 2010 Minecon took place in Bellevue, Washington. In 2011 it took place in Las Vegas, 2012 it took place in europe, then now 2013...the US again. There's millions of Australian and other Minecrafters waiting to go to Minecon to experience it with Mojang and youtubers ect. It will also bring the Minecraft community together, and it will let different kind of players from all over the world join in the fun!
