Title: Is anyone doing something immediately after the CAN JOE CON?
Post by: latinjoe22 on April 13, 2010, 12:49:05 PM
I'm definitely attending the Canadian Joe Convention this year. Aside from finding the toy on my most wanted list, I also look forward to catching up with some board members and always meeting new ones like NeoDragonKnight that I met last year in the lineup, and Grunt4MPV that I met 3 Conventions ago the same way. Per instance, I'm already talking of grabbing a beer with Pdaat & Dodge822.

So does anyone have plans to hang out after the Con, official or not official? If there is an official dinner/gathering of the kind, is it usually something that is discussed on location for those interested? What did you guys do after the Con the other years?

Let us know here.

I like beer. If I'm going solo, I'm in. If I'm carpooling, I'm at the mercy of the democracy.

You know, there is an option to have a dinner at the same Hotel in another section.

I can look into it if you guys like? After the con of course.

Since some of us will drive during night, and will be in line until the morning... not sure how I will be after the con... also, drinking and driving is never a good idea. Can it be at lunch time instead? A special lunch time for board members in a different section... or just a table at the hotel.

I'm going to have to say "Diner". A dinner without Condor would be a dinner without Condor  :(.

Night, or nothing. I'll inquire tomorrow - there will be a cost, obviously. No hotel feeds people for free. ;-)

Also, Martin - get a hotel room. It's only $100.00, and you can split it with 2 others - 2 beds, 1 floor. Simple.

Well, I called... Not cost effective guys. We would need to rent out another room/hall first, then there's an additional charge per plate of food.

Maybe next year.

Do they have a resturant that we can reserve a table for 20 or so? that should work well enough.

You know, I totally forgot that the hotel sent me a "Local Restaurants" map. ;-)

I see there's a tim horton's nearby.  This Floridian wants to try those out!  Not that I'm suggesting everybody meet there, just that I, well, want to try that place out! :)

i cast my vote on montanas lol.

that must be a old map, as it doesnt show the Keg, which is right in the same area as caseys, at 927 dixon rd.

I think I gained 10 pounds in one weekend at last year's con just eating timbits :P

The Keg may of been left out because it's in a competing hotel. That would be my thought.
Title: Re: Is anyone doing something immediately after the CAN JOE CON?

Which ever restaurant that will reserve a section for 10 to 20 guys is fine with me.

But it may have an exclusive agreement with a specific hotel. That's what I mean.

Either way, just because something isn't on the map, doesn't mean it's not there and that you can't go to it. Surely there's a reason it was left off.

Someone pointed out to me that the Strip Club which is about 5 minutes away was also left off.
So, there you go.

I'd be IN for dinner outside the hotel, it just seems more simple.

Not to be a pain but we should ask them if they can do separate bills for everyone?  Not everyone drinks or will be hungry.

There is also a Tucker's Marketplace just down the street from the hotel
