Off Topic / So I'm featured in the Saturday Kitchener Waterloo Record today
« on: August 20, 2011, 12:45:34 PM »
Hey there, thought I'd post a feature that was published this morning, the local paper has a publication called People of Record which gives insights of people in my neck of the woods who do interesting things, such as a police dispatcher and a track coach in his 70's.

They did a story on my attendance at conventions and costuming talents, this time as a Colonial Marine from ALIENS.  Check out the graffiti on the front chest armour for a shout-out to my favourite GIJOE character

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Costume time: this year it's Low-Light (WIP photos)
« on: January 30, 2011, 06:15:03 PM »
Hello again! :)

De-lurking for a bit to say hi and to start planning what has become a tradition for the con, a new GIJoe costume put together.

Last year I went as Dusty, the year before it was a poll and I ended up going as Beach-Head and Shipwreck, and of course the tradition all started with my Snake-eyes outfit back in 2008.

I have one new costume set to debut this year, I just need to pick up an article of clothing to complete a well known Joe character.  Yes, I am a tease, gonna have to wait until I show up to find out what it is ;)

So, that said, is there anything in particular y'all want to see me try out or is one costume enough? :P

Cheers :)

EDIT - slight changes going on, see next page(s) for updates.

Off Topic / JumpCon Organizer Indicted on felony theft and consumer fraud charges

I know of a few people who were affected by this - a couple friends of mine (and at one point me too) were going to go to the Detroit show.

Sci Fi convention organizer faces theft, fraud charges

NASHUA ? A Milford man who sought to organize a series of Science Fiction conventions has been indicted on felony theft and consumer fraud charges.

Shane Senter, 36, of 53 High St., Milford, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Hillsborough County Superior Court on two counts of theft and four counts of unfair or deceptive business practices.

Neither Senter nor the prosecutor, Senior Assistant Attorney General Constance Stratton, could be reached this morning for comment.

Senter was the owner of JumpCon LLC, and tried to organize a series of science fiction conventions with celebrity guests, including actors from various Star Trek series.

On July 15, 2008, Senter posted a message on his Web site, www.jumpcon.net, apologizing for the cancellation of a convention in Boston, Mass.

?I regret to announce the cancellation of our Boston event,? he wrote ?Many factors that needed to come together to make it happen simply did not. We tried everything humanly possible and were unable to overcome the insurmountable obstacles. This is not to say that I don't take the blame myself, I do. I wanted to see this succeed so badly that I was blinded to some warning signs that should have been obvious. If I have learned anything through this process it's that running a convention business is far more intricate and fraught with peril than it seemed at the outset.?

See tomorrow's Telegraph for further coverage.

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Costume choice? THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! and I am bringing 2 !:D
« on: April 17, 2009, 05:36:54 PM »
Ok I thought it would be an idea to run a separate thread vs. the general question one for the show.  As some may know I have on occasion made a costume or two, including stuff from GIJOE.

So what should I do this year?

a) Snake-Eyes (again)
b) Beach Head (I have all the gear again)
c) ShipWreck (won't have the bird but I can piece together the rest)
d) Firefly
e) one of the above
-or-
f) make a suggestion and if there is a general consensus I'll try to run with it.

Just lookin' to have a little silly fun in the process, looking forward to May 2nd :)

EDIT - though I appreciate the effort in posting a poll, I can NOT do two costumes as I have already mentioned due to logistics... I will consider the votes posted in replies over and above selections in the poll.

Introductions / Sid from Toronto Trek convention says hi :)
« on: November 09, 2005, 11:24:36 AM »
I heard there was a Canadian Forum for us Joe fans, and I finally found it :)

Hello, most people know me as Sid and since 1999 I've been continuously working on a costume of my favourite GIJoe, Snake-Eyes.

In 2002 I purchased a webdomain and begun to display my costumes and convention reports there, usually from my experiences in Toronto area conventions.  But I live in the Kitchener-Waterloo area and make the voyages there all the time ;)

Here's my website to get to know a little more http://neoengel.com

And this is The Snake-Eyes Tribute Site.

Glad to find the forum and look forward to chatting aboot everything Joe with y'all.

Here's a sample of my work:
