Can you get us discount tickets to a live theater show?  Make it a group outing even?

a) you need a large group and

b) I can't see a bunch of Joe collectors going to the Princess of Wales Theatre for a live theatre show. 

Sometimes select hotels have deals with theaters.

And I was thinking more for the tolerant wives who may accompany us.  For myself, I counld think of much better uses of a couple hundred bucks that weekend than a show.

Oh, I agree.  It will keep the wife happy and her mind off the fact your going to a toy show and spending money there. 

Too bad the Sound of Music ended it's run in Toronto.  It was a great show.

I'be getting in Friday, and staying till Sunday.  How much further is Toronto from Hamilton?  I'd certainly be interested in a room.

About another 40 minutes east.

If Olyeller says he's coming I can always try to convince my wife to give me a weekend holiday. Then, the man and I can hit some bars together in TO as I know he' love to try them Canadian beer  ::)

It might be a little more potent than he is used to.

I RESENT THAT!  >:(  Unlike most Americans, I do not drink swill such as Bud Light and Miller Light!  My personal favorite is my hometown brew, Shiner Bock.  Nice and dark.  ;D

Ribbing over my hockey preferences and taking away all my Timbits I can handle.  Questioning my drinking prowess is another matter entirely.   ;D

Too bad I'd have to fly up there and even if I wouldn't I'd be scared of the customs agents confiscating a Mustang trunkfull of Shiner beer I'd bring to share  ;D

I thought that might get a rise out of you....

I haven't had a drink in about 3 years or so, but I'd be happy to tip one back with you if you make it to the Con sir!

Same here to both of you. And just for your info Olyeller, my drink goes beyond popular beer. Funny how you put your fascination for Shiner beer...I have this mental picture of you as a Hobbit partying and signing on a 12" high bar countertop and signing how bad Shire Ale rules and  how all of em other Busweiser or Labatt beer sucks  :lol:

And LJ and pdaat, I am definitely going to see what I can do about making it to the CanJoeCon.  No promises, but I'm going to see what I can do.  It would be an honor to tip back cold brews with you guys.
