Thinking
« on: February 22, 2007, 06:27:38 PM »
I'm in the planning stages of coming out to the meet. Where is a good cheap place to stay? Do you guys do anything the night before, should I come out for the night before or the day of the meet? Do you guys do anything in the day or so after the meet?

I would really like to come out. But I haven't bought anything GI Joe since I can't remember. My interest in getting any Joe stuff is next to nothing. The latest pictures from Toyfair make me really sad. Sigma Six stuff is garbage in my opinion. The 25th Anniversary figures can go down the toilet right after S6, in my opinion.

But you ENJOY Joe right? Who cares if you buy anything! ;-)

You'll have a blast Adam! Come on! You'll get to see me again!  :shifty:

There's a couple of cheap hotels in the area - my place is booked up - shoulda made up your mind back in September when I was out there! ;-)

But, there's three hotels 'near' the Meet. Two really close to it...
I'll get the names for you - unless someone beats me to it?

Email Shane - convince him to join you - then split on a room.

I'd suggest flying in the night before.... leave when you want - the night of the meet - the next day... whatever. We'll get you to and from the Airport.

As long as Westjet doesn't change anything, you 'could' come in the morning of the Meet, there's a flight that leaves Calgary at 7am your time - you'd get here around 12noon... the Meet will of already started, but I'm sure someone will pick you up - it IS just down the street anyway. ;-)

If you leave the night before, you'll get here either around 1pm or 5pm - depending which flight you take - no one's gonna pick you up at midnight with those other two options there for you. ;-)

Yes, I still enjoy GI Joe. I would enjoy it much more if Hasbro would get their shit together, or had gotten their shit together in the last few years so that finding anything new was next to impossible.

I will keep you guys posted. Anyone able to find out those hotels Mike is talking about?

http://www.airportinnhamilton.com/

and

http://marriott.com/hotels/travel/yhmcy ... -hamilton/

Both have food nearby - AND will pick you up from teh Airport and take you back if need be. You may want to double check that first.
They're both within walking distance from where the Meet is going to be held.
Marriott fucked me around on using their hall - so on that basis alone I'd suggest the other one.

There is another one right near the Airport, but it's no where near ANYTHING.

If you need to be picked up - I could most likely help... I am only 10 minutes away....- assuming Raptor is picking up MotoViper in Toronto.

The Aiport Inn does offer pick up and drop off to the airport.

Plus the Airport Inn has a Hooter's right next door.   :shifty:

So who needs the Marriott anyways?

I dunno. I find Hooter's food is too greasy.

Yeah, I don't eat at Hooters.

They may be great in the U.S. - but they're one step up from dog food here in Canada.

I'm thinkin' Crabby Joes would be good. It's the 5th Joe Meet - the first one was at Crabby Joes.

If we're gonna play with G.I. Joes at the table at Crabby Joe's again, can we at least roll them around in Armadillos?

The site of the third after-Meet dinner, in fact.

Yeah, I'm not in to going back to Hooters either.

Crabby Joes, Kelsy's Philthy McNasties, Jack Astors, Montanas.... any of those work for me.
