Montreal at CND Joe meet
« on: February 14, 2006, 10:50:51 AM »
As per Mike's suggestion, let's talk about our Hamilton invasion.

Tina (Tank Girl) and I are driving down together on Friday. Not to be anti-social, but roadtrips are part of our couple identity. We like to travel just the two of us.

Anyone else interested in going down, Avis rents cars for about $300 bucks for a weekend. If the car is four-people full (make sure you get enough trunk-space for four suitcases), that's about $75 a person. You can find reasonable hotel in Hamilton that will cost you all less than $100 bucks a night (assuming two people per room).

So first let's ask who would be interested in making the trip, and then we'll work out logistics. Mention if you can drive.

I'd LOVE to go (I just don't get out often enough...), so I'm in all the way.
I don't have a driver's liscence, but I can help navigate. Someone just needs to remind me to bring my glasses so I can see the signs. :P

Maple,

Good to see you back on the boards. There's a Forumdedicated to this year's Meet. Before you open a thread, make sure it relates to the 2006 Meet, though.

Herre's a copy of the info from Mike's thread.

Quote from: ""BHT""
When:
Saturday, April 8th
From 1:00pm to whenever people go home! (11pm is the latest)

Where:
Sherwood Bowling Center (across the street from Bounty Hunter Toys)
The event takes place in Banquet hall downstairs.

For a map on how to reach the location, please goto:
http://www.bountyhuntertoys.com/miva/me ... ry_Code=SI
And go directly across the street! You're welcome to park at Bounty Hunter Toys for the day.

Admission:
There will be an admission of $5.00 per person. With your admission, you will be given one 'ballot' ticket to be entered in an 'exclusive' draw at the meet. (Additional tickets will also be available).

Exclusive:
There WILL be an exclusive figure for the meet this year.
While I don't have the final figure in my hands yet, I can assure you that the few who know about it thinks it looks great!
The cost for the figure will be $20.00. He will include accessories, a file card, and will also include your admission to the meet!
I will post more information on it in it's 'own' thread soon.

Features Of The Meet:

G.I. Joe : TCG
There will be a few tables set up for those interested in playing the G.I. Joe card game. I'm looking for someone to 'oversee' it. Email or PM me if you'd like to help.

G.I. Joe: Rasslin'
Since it was such a huge in the last few years, G.I. Joe will battle Cobra in the wrestling ring once again! I made all the characters last year. I don't have time to make 30 of them this year, so hopefully some of our fellow PS2-inites get some done. We should have two PS2 systems, and 2 monitors to play on once again. PLEASE bring your OWN PS2 controller. We'll have a few extras on hand, but there may not be enough to cover everyone! If you'd like to 'create' some Joes or Cobras, please PM me.

Dealers:
There will be Joes for sale once again at the meet. You'll of course have the chance to purchase from BHT by going across the street, but now you'll have the option to check out what your fellow JoeCanucks have to offer as well! There's not many dealers set up at the meets, but 'we' seem to like it that way. That's what makes the Canadian Joe Meet such a unique event. It's NOT a toy show - just a place for Joe Fans to get together and enjoy G.I. Joe for the day! If you would like to 'set up' a table at the Meet, please email@joecanuck.com if interested in renting a table for the day.

Food / Drink:
If you get hungry, or wish to have a drink, there will be food on hand to purchase. We had free pizza one year, and while that is not an option this time, we can always order one and split the cost.


I think I've covered all basese here. If you need information on some local hotals, the only one I can think of is Airport Inn on Upper James in Hamilton. It's the closest one to the meet, and it's also the easiest one to travel to.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to post them in this thread, AND email them to me at email@joecanuck.com

Should someone else already answer it out here, I'll most likely not reply.

Thanks guys.
Mike

So does anyone want to split a room or am I to start begging Hamiltonians for a couch to sleep on?
