Title: 2007 GI JOE collectors convention location is....
Post by: Pete The Greek on December 28, 2006, 09:26:24 PM
According to GITrekker who some how gets his newsletter quicker than most, the convention will be held in Atlanta, GA at the Marriott Marquis on September 27-30.

The Pros
The convention for once will not kill my Canada Day long weekend plans for a change.  And considering my insurance renew bill comes in on July, it's a nice a break.

The Negs
It's in the deep south for two years in a row.  And worse, it's the freaking city that bribed and stole the 1996 Summer Olympics from Athens.  Something I will never forget.

I will consider going to this one.

 I'm still on the fence, and It wil be a matter of arrangements, money and timing.

I might go to this one.  I'd like to go but it's a ways away and I want to see what kinda of treatment GIJoe is really going to get from Hasbro this year for the anniversary; if they support it like it deserves and Master Collector follows suit, cool but if it's half ass on either parts, the convention planning might reflect it and that would suck.   :-

That's after I'm back at school, so I won't have the time or money for the Con this year, and Atlanta isn't a city I'd ever wanted to visit.

Looks like a 14 1/2 hour drive from K-town. I doubt I'm going again but you never know. I'm pretty sure if i went I wouldn't fly down. I agree with Pete, what's up with the south getting it again? Guess my plea for Niagara Falls has fallen on deaf ears.

Curt, unless something happens I will be there.  But I am flying down this time.

After hitching a ride with Pete (Deadshot) last year to go down to NO, no way I would not recommend driving again that far south.

....and this is why we have a Canadian Joe Meet. ;-)

It may not be a fancy-dancy big thing like the 'official' one, but it is alot cheaper to get to. ;-)

I like going to both.   Same type of guys I like dealing with in the hobby but with a totally different feel.

Good chance I'll go and I'm glad it's not in July--because I don't have to past up a Vegas trip.
