I've been getting alot of emails in the last 2 weeks with people wanting to help with the Joe Meet. While the help is appreciated - it's not really in the area that I'll require help in.
Without going into too much detail, there's approx. 7 Custom items that 'may' be made by various folks for door prizes. While that's great, door prizes are no good if no one is 'running' the event. Save your customs - give me your time! ;-)
I know everyone is looking forward to this, and we have people coming from literally around the world this year. But I'm making an official announcement that if you'd like to help - please help me out by picking a task below - only two or maybe three people needed to help me out with each.
My wife and I will be working the door / my tables (shoudl I get any). On top of that, I'll be overseeing the Joe vs. Cobra wrestling, the door prizes, and obviously everything else (including setting up tables, tearing down tables and cleaning up at the end of the day).
So, if you're serious about helping at the Canadian Joe Meet, here's the 'short list' of what I'm looking for:
Setting Up: Moto-Viper, THE Mike, Mrs. Mike
G.I. Joe : TCG (if this is being done)
Painting Contest: Scramble
Working the Door: THE Mike, Mrs. Mike, Radio Guy
Security for Customs: Radio Guy, Morgardee
Wrestling (Should I need a hand): Morgardee
Freebie Table: Loop, Stealth Viper
Tearing down/ Clean Up: THE Mike & whoever is left and wants to help.
Now I know people would like to just come and enjoy themselves - which is why I would like more than one person to help out with each item. This way everyone gets to enjoy the day.
I appreciate the fact that people want to donate prizes - and you're MORE than welcome to do so. But without some help running this - there will not be one next year. I didn't enjoy last years that much since I was making sure everything was going ok and 'watching' peoples customs to make sure none went missing.
So, if you'd like to help - and you've emailed / PM'd me about stuff - and I haven't gotten back to you yet - this is why.
Thanks gang.
