FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                           
 
G.I.JoeCon 2013 Coming to Indianapolis, Indiana April 4th – April 7th!
 
Fort Worth, TX – December 4th, 2012 – Fun Publications, Inc., licensee for Hasbro’s official G.I.Joe Collectors’ Convention, G.I.JoeCon, announced today that next year’s convention will take place at the JW Marriott from April 4th thru April 7th in the great city of Indianapolis. You can make your hotel reservations now at GIJoeCon.com.
 
In the coming weeks, Pop Culture enthusiasts from around the world will be able to register for G.I.JoeCon 2013 through the GIJoeCon.com online registration system. Fans and Collectors’ who register for G.I.JoeCon as a General OR American Hero package holder will receive either the 12-inch Secret Mission to Dragon Island or 3 3/4-inch Nocturnal Fire convention set, admission to the Friday private sales room experience, priority seating at all panels and seminars throughout the weekend and admittance to the Saturday Night Casino Night Dinner event.  Finally, General and American Hero package attendees will also receive a special bonus to go along with their convention box set.

For many of us that's driving distance boys! Lets jump the boarder in 2013.

For me it's only 7.5 hour drive.

Google map it. Assuming I got the address right that is.  ;)

745 for me but I often find google maps over estimate times.

This is going to be a great convention. For anyone who has been sitting on the fence I doubt it's going to get any closer to us in Ontario then this. I feel very strongly that it will be a Night Force theme in 2013 and that should include the Night Boomer. You know there is going to be a strong demand for that.

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

The date makes sense. The movie comes out at the end of march and they want to tie into it.

How many people are thinking about making the trip?

I've already had a few side conversations about making the road trip. Rooms are already 35% booked. Me, I'm booking a room tonight with 2 queen beds. I know I'm going. I already booked the time off work.  ;)

I booked my room too!

Can squeeze four people into one of those rooms if people don't mind sharing beds. Reminds me of when I went to E3 in 2001.
