I found a hall for next years Canadian Joe Meet.
It's near the Airport, near some Hotels, near access to the HWY, and near TONS of shopping and food. Seriously, It's the perfect location.
Actually, I found TWO of them.
One is about the same size as the small room from last year - it's on the mountain, and includes the use of a 42" Plasma TV.
Cost - $200.00 for the day.
The second one is half of a banquet hall, has no TV, but is a little bigger than the large hall from the bowling alley.
Cost - $300.00 for the day.
Do we have any idea on how many people would attend next year?
The date WILL be April 14th, 2007 - in Hamilton Ontario.
I have the old location on hold for now, and would MUCH rather use this new one. Everyone will agree - this is the perfect place for the 5th annual Joe Meet.
I'd like to get this place secured within a week, so just a quick post if you 'think' you're going to attend. This also weighs on how many exclusive figures get made, and WHAT it is as well.

I know that it'll be coming down in size for you mike, but I'm still locked into a 32" screen.

The two options both sound good. It really does depend on how many people we can bring to the event before we can decide.

I know I was pushing for a bigger room, but I like the sound of the smaller room on the mountain.

I'll be there with Tina, who's thinking about setting up a table for baked goods.
Remember to bring the brownies. Mmmm. Brownies.
Americans may be coming up, and also possibly Austrailians... But that said - we're talking about a difference of maybe 10 people if all the americans that have suggested that they are coming are coming. Most of the people will be local to the province/country.
If we want to have a CCG table, a free table (with a bit of space around it to prevent casualties), a customs table, and a prize table, including a number of vendors, how many tables are we looking at? With 5 vendors, (mike, tina and deadshot/condor knight are 3, maybe steve and ed are interested?) we're up to 9 tables + room for seats around the wrestling screen.
Is that going to fit into the small room? I want the plasma, but I'm thinking real estate here.
Also, who would be interested in a custom speed painting contest? If there is interest, and Mike gives the go ahead I'll start putting materials together.

A custom speed painting contest would be awesome! After seeing it from the Montreal pics, this would be great and a lot of fun to have at the Can Joe Meet.
I think this would be cool as well. With all he warhammer figs I've been painting laley, I think I am game.

I don't want to be responsible for paint on the floor and such.
Figure out who will run it, and I'll work it into the 'Events Listing' for the day as we get closer.
Alosng with the wrestling matches, and a few things I'm considering.... like Best impersonation of a Joe / Cobra character. Don't worry.... you'll win stuff if you make an ass of yourself. ;-)
I'm also considering a "Mini-Custom" contest for the meet.
People would be allowed to make ONE custom figure and bring it to the meet. It has to be one that no one has seen of yours before, and one that isn't posted online anywhere (yet). I'd have ballots set up at each one, so people could 'rate' it out of 10. Depending on how many people enter, we'd have a first, second, and third prize.
I already know what first prize would be... but it's a secret.

What about custom vehicles?
I haven't even given this any more thought than that post up there. ;-)
It my not happen at all - but I DO want something like this to take place.
I'm REALLY leaning towards the bigger hall.
I heard there were more Joe dealers than Star Wars dealers at that 'Star Wars Expo' thing..... maybe Hall or someone knows who they are?
If I can get more dealers that are JOE specific, then the big hall it is - and the 'games' can get planned.
To be honest, now that it's in my head. I would think vehicles would have to be ruled out. Some are just TOO big, and they'd take up to much space.
Figures are small and take up ALOT less space.
However, if I don't get enough dealers for it - I could always rent out tables for $5.00 or so for people to display their customs, dios, etc.

I nominate Scramble for the job since he did such a great job for the Montreal Joe Meet's speed painting contest.

Also, any chance we could do a chapter of Joe Canuck at the meet?
Post by: BHMike on October 25, 2006, 09:36:14 AM
As for the customs, there will be a section for customs to be displayed, and a different section for the 'contest'. The figure you put in the 'contest' section should be made specifically for the Joe Meet...... and not seen by people before. That would be how I'd like to see it done... but there's no real way for me to enforce it.
Mike
Post by: Scramble on October 25, 2006, 10:32:25 AM
So for this custom contest, will there be parameters for what the custom should be? A set theme?

My thoughts at this time for the meet are this:
The figure should be made in time for the meet - so you can bring him in and display him.
You can set him up however you want.
1. Loose
2. MOC
3. Loose w/ filecard.
That's all I got for now. ;-)

This is great Mike. Something else to participate in. :D
Hmm. Looks like I have to pull out the paint and parts again. If I start now, maybe I'll get something done in time for the meet.

Response better late than never-I will be there, but no table this year-I just want to hang out, visit and play some wrestling.
:roll: So that's two people not getting tables that I know of.
Anyone want to tell some other Joe Dealers about the meet then?
The less dealers, the higher admission - and I was hoping to have a lower admission this time. ;-)

BUT, I will have stuff posted on ebay before the meet - I'll be promoting the meet and this site in each of my auctions.
Anyone else that sells on ebay is MORE than welcome to promote the Joe meet and the JoeCanuck.com site if they want in their auctions as well.

what about a guy who can recite the opening scene of GIJoe the Movie, the verbal assaults battle royale between CC and Serps, AND in an approximation of most of the characters' voices in impersatory manner? ;D
