I'm excited!  I noticed the hotel dates were for Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th.  I assume then, that the convention rate will not be offered on Friday night?  Thanks, super excited!  Hope it works out for me to attend.

Well that is obviously an error....
I'll recheck with her tomorrow as it's too late now.

And yes, the Friday night is supposed to be offered (not Sunday).

The contact info for the person handling these is included in the CanJoeCon info pdf. but I just called and left a message for her to look into these issues for me.

I'll update once I hear back.


Sorry guys, this "block of rooms" stuff is new for me as well. ;-)

Hotel page is now corrected.
If booking for more than just Friday and Saturday night, you may need to contact Filomena Pereira at 416.213.7560.

I called the hotel, and the person I spoke to said that all the rooms for that group rate were sold out, this was 5 minutes after you guys sent out the email, did they open more rooms? Or are they actually sold out?

[BHMike]

Did you try the link. Did you do this today?

Last night, there was an error - as you all know. It was saying they were sold out. Try it, today.

I went partially through the process and got a price quote.  Got a question, since the price is in canadian, can I just pay for the rooms with my usual visa type card?  Will that change the rate, not sure how all this works.  Also, there was the option of signing up for some free prefered membership or something like that.  Is there any reason to do this, any benefit in having it?

Yes.

Currency between the U.S. and Canada is at about par right now, call your Visa company to inquire.

It's a point system. No use for you if you don't stay at any of their hotels.

Thanks!  Got a more general question.  Would it be ok to bring a couple items for trade like the cobra island 7 packs?  Think there'd be any interest?  I'd be looking to trade for o-ring or 25th...  I'm planning to fly into Buffalo and drive the trip.  Would there be a hassle at the border bringing stuff in?  I've only been out of the u.s. once and that was pre 911.

I could have gone to Rhode Island this year, or the last San Diego Comic Con, but honestly I'm way more interested in what you guys are doing!

Since you are opening the door... What is this year exclusive set?  :wink:  :lol: I will be going West, and not sure what the 540 is...

I know Mike will answer this one, but it will give me the opportunity to add another question to yours. Last year there was a trading table where people could trade. I didn't see it advertised this year. Is it going to have one?

To be fair with dealers (who purchased the right to sell by getting a table) I'm assuming this year policy will be the same as previous years: Only trading allowed (no selling).
