Congratulations goes out to the organizing committee for this years Joe Meet. You all deserve two thumbs up and a pat on the back.  I'm certain next years Convention is going to be an even greater success.  Checked out the video, LOL Wrestling and Joe goes well together.  Fantastic :)

I'm not even home yet (one more day of driving to go....), but I wanted to give a big thanks to everyone involved with the Meet -- it was one of the best times I've ever had and meeting everyone and spending time with fellow Joe Fans was the highlight of my year. 

Thanks to Mike, Charles, Ryan, and everyone else who put this thing together - you've shown the Joe Community how a Meet/Con is supposed to be run -- and I can't wait to come back. 

It was great meeting everyone and I hope to see you all again in the near future. :D

Great editing job on the video!
This has been hands down the BEST JOE MEET EVER! And it was great seeing my fellow canucks, as well as our friends from the States like Jason, Chandra, Brian, Andrew (I owe you wings for the next meet/Con), Chief, and Kilcarr!
I hope to see you guys again next year, as well as hopefully Justin Bell and John/Pluv (said at JC that he'll attend next year).
I hope to see the guys from Hasbro, Mark Bellomo, and Larry Hama next year as it was a huge pleasure to see them at the meet.

I get to know a lot of people on the boards, but there is nothing like meeting them in person. It makes everything they say on the boards more real. It's funny to think some of the people I think of as good friends now I've only really met a couple of times. Take Lance Sputnik. This was my second weekend ever meeting him, and yet I felt comfortable enough to smack him belly. That's a special kind of friendship.

I am thrilled at how the meet has grown and love to be a part of it. I think, as the voice of the Meet, I get more credit than I deserve. Mike does most of the leg work, Stealth Viper pulled off the huge cue of getting Hasbro there, Raptor helps us stay on schedule both at the meet and in the weeks leading up to it, and Loop constantly donates original art. Me, I'm just a walking megaphone.

This may have officially been our last Canadian Joe Meet, but unofficially I would call this the first Canadian Joe Convention.

And the most congenial.

I had such a great time meeting everyone. It was truly a pleasure to interact with you guys and even getting foed by Charles and Ryan outside the restrurant was a treat. I even decided to branch back into ARAH collecting by getting what I call niche figures. I picked up my very first Big Brawler v1, Backstop, Battle Corps Law, and Action Man from the NF set.

BTW, my hat rules. Do not try to fight it.

Actually, before I forget, I need to thank Kilcarr. I accidentally ran into him just as he was checking into the hotel. He came to the hall and helped me set up the tables. So thanks "Ralphie"!
