April 23rd, 2005 will be the next Canadian Joe Meet!
EDIT: This date confirmed after original post)
(Assuming the hall isn't already booked!)
That's only 4 months away gang, so anything you plan on making (customs, dios, etc) start doing them now.
Anyone interested in setting up a table and 'selling' at it this year, shoot me an email at www.joecanuck.com (http://www.joecanuck.com) instead. :thumbsup:

edit: Since we have 4 months left, one thing we could do is collect any styro-foam boxes/containers that would be great for a Cobra Arctic Base in the Joe Meet dio-story.

Do I bring the playmobil fort or not for the dio story?

Takes after its owner, does it?
Excellent, the 26th. Right at the end of two weeks off for Spring Break, one of the perks of working at a grade school. Plus, I should be getting a lift all the way from Montreal this time, meaning I can bring a whack load of stuff. 1987 GI Joe sleeping blanket's going on a road trip!

Card Game Section: I need to talk to Raptor first and see if he wants to take this task on... basically a section to play the new card game!
If Raptor doesn't want to do it, or if he'd like to split responsibilities, I'm interested in running the card game section, or helping out with it anyway I can.

I'm all over helping you, but I haven't had time to run for diapers let alone running a card game. If we're doing a tourney, we'll need to be able to play about 4 games at a time, no more than that. I can judge if need be, but I'd also like to play. We might be better off doing casual play. Mind you I could end up doing that all day....

Do we still go together? If not I'll start scheduling a bus ride or something
Post by: Scramble on December 02, 2004, 07:16:19 PM
Raptor, I thought it was just going to be casual play and tutorial. With Mike's permission, I could run a small tournament, and the game does play fast enough that it could be done in an hour if we do it bracket style, best two of out three advances. I run miniature gaming tournaments as a second job, so I am qualified and experienced with such things.
Plus I look good in a hat.

So Scramble, do with it what you wish.
It's your project now. :-)

On a side note, I'll be buying some boxes of packs for the meet......... and most likely the store and site as well.

Just a thought, if I can make some good looking Joe Wrestlers, then we'll use the NEW Smackdown vs Raw game. If not, then it's back to the one from two years ago...... you know... the one that I used to toss Loop out of the Royal Rumble in 4 seconds with! :lol:
I'm looking forward to playing (and having my butt handed to me) the card game - I've got a bunch of but no one wants to play with me.

I bow to greater experience and to more humility. I'm happy to serve in any capacity that I can support you in this endevor. As mike eluded to, I want to help, but I just don't have the time to organize.
Seriously though, tourney or not I think it would be good to let people know this is hapening and maybe et a sign up list oin so tat people know to bring the cards.
Then I'll have to start working now on a deck to defeat and publicly humiliate you. I mean, maybe we should do a demonstration match to show the game off so that people who are interested can watch.
Yeah, that's what I meant...
Post by: Scramble on December 12, 2004, 10:27:17 AM
If we're playing demo games, it's probably best that your deck show a wide range of cards rather than actually be any good. Afterall, we'll probably be explaining our boost cards and why we chose them to the on-lookers, so it wouldn't be competitive.
Then we could go all out, face to face, cheek to cheek.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't gabbing about it here a way of letting people know it's going down? Sure, Mike will probably post the event on other boards but unless he plans on postering at the major comic shops in the GTA, we're already advertising.
If I have time I'll post them on other boards......... but ummm.... you're all pretty welcome to do so as well!!! :-)
You don't need my permission to promote this site or the Canadian Joe Meet. :-)
Post away! Just give the www.joecanuck.com (http://www.joecanuck.com) url instead of the direct one to the board.

Well that sucks.
As I looked on a calender today, I noticed that March 26th is Easter weekend.
Obviously the date is going to have to be pushed back guys.
I'd rather not have it Easter weekend, and I'm sure many others would agree with that.
Any suggestions on a 'new' date?
Anyone opposed to APRIL 9th?

To be honest, I'm glad we changed the date. I just found out the IWS' biggest show of the year is on the weekend of the 26th. I'd hate to miss it. And this is still enough heads up that I can tell work I don't need the 26th off, but the 9th instead.
But now are we absolutely positive it will be the 9th?

It's a shame that you'll miss the Joe meet, but your wedding and honey moon should come first.
Just try not to leave the resort to much because the vendors can really get to be much after a while.
Post by: BHMike on February 11, 2005, 07:12:35 PM
Real Boss would be able to set up a table at it - therefore making it cheaper for everyone else.
Mike
Post by: morgardee on February 12, 2005, 12:30:39 AM
Maybe it's the Lucky Lager talking but with the comment Hasbro has made about giving Joe a real push the second half of this year maybe we can start to make a loud enough noise that hasbro canada might start to give us some attention.
So if we need to bump it again for the greater good then I say do it.

I just want to book my hotel room. Switching the date around to accomadate everyone is the nice thing to do, but at some point we have to draw the line and say "This is the date, sorry if you can't attend".
I agree, we need to pick a date and stick with it. But I am in favour of pushing back the date, provided this doesn't screw up Scramble's plans.
Post by: BHMike on February 15, 2005, 10:25:58 AM
Dealers or not, the meet is 100% taking place on Saturday April 16. Time to be decided later - most likely in the afternoon for a start.
Real Boss should be able to set up by then (assuming you're back by then), and Condor Knight shouldn't have a problem with it - Hal?
1000% this is the date. If you can't make it, then we'll see ya next time.
The group attending is small enough that I don't mind switching it - again, but no more... I shouldn't have to get stressed out over something I'm doing for fans of Joes and for fun! :-)

If everyone is in agreement, we can push it back another week - thus allowing Raptor to come to the meet - and me another week to 'get ready'.

Unlikely, but not impossible. Looks like I'll be working the door, so I'll have to be there early, and Zoe, requires constant attention. ;-)

Post by: BHMike on March 09, 2005, 03:36:31 PM
While I have no problems with kids being there, I'd like to have no kids there that need constant attention. (ie: babies)
I'm responsible for the hall, and ultimately have to answer for anything that happens at the meet/show/con.
Not saying we have anything would happen, but on the off chance someone's kid get's knocked off a table, gets stolen, or injured, I would like to go on record saying that I would rather no kids under the age of 5 or 6 attend.
Call me a prick if you wish, but I know of at least ONE person that shops at my store that will leave his kid near the cash register at the store and 'shop' for nearly 20 mins - NEVER checking on the kid - even while he's screaming.
I'd really hate for that to happen at the meet.
