As if I wasn't excited enough just to be getting a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet The Godfather but talking with the Maple Leaf branch of Hasbro too now?  THIS IS HUGE!

I'm still in shock from reading that email 14 hours ago.  No question about it now, we?re headed up on Friday [the 18th] this time, maybe get together with people and hang out the night before; I get the feeling that attendance is gonna skyrocket this time around!  And like Raptor said, it's 100% affordable too, which the MC cons are everything but with airfare and hotel and bullshitting in town around Con and if you buy the exclusives you tack another $500 onto that.  OUCH.  But this is still $5 admission, still only and hour + drive-time and one a tank of gas (and maybe a hotel room bill split a few ways).

 I can't imagine after the not-so-little-anymore Canuck Meet next year that I'll ever feel the need to try for an official Joe Convention again, this is gonna feel like one methinks.  Near the end of last year?s show, Pete the Greek said he nearly pissed himself when he saw how many people were there, he was surprised that it had gotten so big.  ?Big? isn?t going to be an adequate description after ?08.  I?m glad I was at ?07 to experience it when it was more buzzworthy than ever and yet still personal. 

Who?d a thunk (besides Mike the diabolical busybody) that so much would change in just a year.  HOW did you pull this one off, man?


P.S.  with all this fanfare, will the 2008 Meet still hold the speed painting and such?   :wink:

The plan is to have a bigger dealer presence, the speed painting competition, the JoevsCobra wrestling (which I debated scrapping this year), and the Custom displays.

Keep in mind, with Hasbro having a booth, and Larry Hama having a section (which needs room for line-ups), room might be tight this time around. We do have a MUCH bigger hall (officially), and two other "rooms" to use if I need them. They'll cost more money, but I am considering it.

Yes, so the real question is "When are we going to get lanyards?"

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. My wife Sheryl always makes fun of those things, so they sort have become a joke in my house.

Do I need to buy a ticket to the meet or just pay at the door?

If you want to get a figure then wait and see what the final call from Mike. However, if you just want to show up and enjoy the days events, then you can buy your ticket at the door on the day of the event.

Keep in mind it's Mike's thing so he is the one who has the last word on all of this and he can tell me I'm wrong on this at any point in time. Wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong, won't be the last.  ;D
