Besides the local guys I have met in the Toronto area like Ed, Aaron, Jon, Mike and Jason, I have been able to try to and met up with other Canadians while on business. First was Spillspleen. We have met a couple of times while out in the Vancouver. Then was Redmao in Montreal while dropping off some items for him. I wanted to catch up with Scramble the following day but work finally caught up.
Then just this past week, I met up with Tatoo Shane. Usally I have a car rental but there was somebody else from the office with me and they always get the rental. So Shane pick up my tired a$$ after midnight from the hotel to his place. Man, I was blown away by the amount of GI JOE boxed items and Star Wars items he had (especially the rare ones). I was more impressed in the credentials he has build up in the Star wars community. In the end, the experience of meeing another cool collector is the biggest reason why I stay involved in the hobby (which explains the convention trip).
Shane thanks again for your time and hope to catch up to later on when I am back in Edmonton.
