Some community parks have small halls for rent.  Not sure about cost but it's time to get out of the bowling alley.

I'll look into small halls... It's not so much the amount of people that would come, it's the 'space' to keep things seperate.

The Door prizes and customs last year were pretty close.....

Then again, not everyone that comes 'stays' all day right?... yeah... a small hall may still be fine. Besides, I think that's what makes the meet so much fun.

Now if I can only get these people to call me back!

Haven't replied because, well, lots of reasons including I probably won't be going in April because of my wedding.  The Shoe Addict would be upset if I missed that one.

Anyway, here are some ideas if it were me.  A YMCA or school gym.  Lots of room.  All of them are eager to get money.

Town hall or meeting rooms.  Here we could rent out a decent size Bingo hall no problem.  I happen to have one in my development that gets used for birthday parties a lot.

A back room of a restaurant.  If you buy their fod they give you guys the space.  That includes McDonalds and their playland.

When do you think the meet will take place in 2007?
Because if it's anytime before mid-May, I'm not going to be able to attend.

My Japanese classes are really important to me, and I don't want to miss them just to spend god-knows-how-much-while-I'll-probably-STILL-be-unemployed on just G.I.Joes... especially if there's no BHT store to visit.

Obviously, I'm not going to ask you to move your entire plans around just on account of little old me, I'm just saying if it's before mid-May, you'll have to count me out of attendance.

Answered with:

Oh, and I'm pretty sure the date is going to be April 14th 2007.... or the weekend after. But most likely the 14th.

Must've missed that post, then.

So much for that, I guess.

what about the holiday inn on guelph line in burlington or like a legion hall, i know the legion in my area has a big hall up stairs that my brother had his wedding in that was around 300+ people

thats my two cents

Some libraries can have decent rooms for a decent price, since they are revenue motivated not profit motivated.

I took a quick peek at the Hamilton libraries website and most rooms are cheaper than $100 bucks.  I don't think you would want a theatre style room, but some of the other rooms may be an option.  If the price is right you may even be able to get 2 rooms.  You may need to discuss the booking schedule since it says April dates can be booked after Feb 1st.

If you were to get something bigger, then it would also require another really cool cobra fig.  As seen with the price of the black ice from last years con.

Besides meeting all the fellow canucks, the cool fig was a reason to drive hundreds of kms to attend the meet.

So I wouldn't go too big if next exclusive figure is not up to par with the black ice figure, as people are probably expecting something as cool as that figure.

Screw the figure.
The Joe Meet isn't about the figure, and if anyone thinks otherwise then don't come.

I'm not going to base the figure on what type of turnout I hope to get at the Joe Meet. If people don't want to attend the Joe Meet for what it is, then why I should I bother putting it on at all?

hell to the yeah!  my collection has a cut off of 1994, so newer figs don't interest me much.  while i appreciate the hell out of the time and effort that went into the joe canuck and black ice figures, they ain't why i hit the meet.  first and foremost i come for the people who share a love for the hobby.  the cameradrie of the customizers, the joe wrestlers, the traders and the collectors....after that, it's all about the pepperettes baby!  the what meansalot more than the where.....

[Deadshot]

I go  so I Can lug joes  in big heavy boxes up and down stairs  .......   J/k


I'm there  more for the people than the figures.  


Next -next years  suggestion.. a Gi Joe pinata...   filled with  joe goodness!
