I drove to Hamilton in '09 from Indy.  Barring no other circumstances, if I can do it, you can too.   :P

Had a blast.  Walked out with more money than I walked in with, but that is not for a lack of effort.  I brought some extra JoeCon items to sell.  As for the "haul", well, it is one CJC set, W2 of the Heroes Force figures, a carded Funskool Street Hawk, some Black Major BATS, a Jason Loo commission, a Robert Atkins commission, previous CJC comics (one of which is for a buddy), a poster of Robert's CJC Comic cover (13/50) and a print from Jason's character artwork (5/10). 

Thanks to Paul for the beers!  Thanks to Pluv for almost spitting on Robert Atkins.  Thanks to Robert for not being offended at my drunk squinty eyes.  Thank to all of those who came up and said hi about the podcast.  Thanks to Mark Bellomo for not stealing all the of the JoeCon stuff on my table.  Thanks to the wordburgler for the CD.  Thanks to Josh for the book for Katie.  Thanks to the Joe Wives for welcoming mine.  Thanks to THE MIKE for any number of things up to and including all the work he did just to get us to this weekend.  Thanks to the CJC staff (Brian, Jason, Pete, Ed, Ryan, Mike and Denise - aka THE BOSS) for their workman effort.  If I forgot someone, I will buy you a beer next year.  Thanks to Gary, Nova and everyone I hung out with during the show.  Lastly, thanks for the wife for accompanying me this year and having as much fun as I did. 

That's about it from me.  I pulled off the Triple Crown of JoeCons.  Depending on when the GIJCC announces their date will determine if I do a repeat next year.  Get me through COIL Con weekend and a little rest and I will be all ready for the 2013 Joe Convention calendar with will undoubtedly include a return to Canada.

Hey All,

We seem to have ideas/plans ranging from Wendy's to pizza (lobby/Boston Pizza) to the hotel restaurant. Should I assume that everyone is doing their own thing on Friday night? Or are we going to get together on the fly? Just trying to figure out whether I need to make my own plans for Friday night.

Thanks,

Blitzkrieg


I think Jack Astor's went off really well last year.  There was maybe 8-10 of us there.  If we could double it this year that'd be sweet.  Unless someone has something official planned, I will officially drop the gauntlet down and lead a contingent across the street to Jack's after the show floor closes. 

But even after that, the hotel lobby and bar have plenty of space to chill if no one wants to go out to eat.

Count me and the wifey in Josh!!

I will be bringing a couple of the 2012 JoeCon 2-packs, a 3-pack, paratrooper, some of the box set IGs and the attendee cycle.  I have the helicopter and Soviet truck too, but I am not hauling those up there unless someone wants to buy them from me before the show.

See you at the show!!

Cobra BUGG
Hurricane VTOL
Hammerhead

Josh, I will be able to help out again and pitch into the prize pool as well.

(I can't edit my own posts??)

Anyway, sorry for the double tap here...

Just tried to book my room.  The Sheraton site told me the block is sold out so I called the 416-814-1252 number and they booked me a room at the show rate.  Not sure if anyone else will need to jump through that hoop, but just an FYI.

Con Set - Flight - Hotel: good to go here.  Bringing the wifey for the first time.
