This just in straight from the Collectors’ Club:
Please note that due to circumstances beyond our control with the anticipated venue for the convention, the dates of GIJoeCon will now be June 28-July 1 at a new venue, the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. We apologize for any problems or issues this change of date has caused. We hope to see you all in New Orleans June 28-July 1 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. Convention (attending and non-attending) registrations will start sometime in February. Again we apologize for any problems or issues this change of date has caused
You can now make your hotel reservations at GIJoeCon.com.
Anyone who has asked for vacation time, looks like you’d better adjust your request. Registration starts in February!
Reg starts in Feb, but still no word on the exclusives…Hmmm.
Ugh. I’m struggling as it is to make this work, and the flights I’m finding for the new dates are even more expensive.
This date change pretty much kills my plans to attend. SDCC is about two weeks later so I’m pretty much out. It was going to be tricky enough getting time off when Joecon was in the middle of June but taking two 5 day weekends two weeks apart isn’t going to fly at work. As much as I’d like to go this change really screwed over my plans. Good thing I hadn’t bought plane tickets yet.
So… who wants to be my hook up for toys?
We planned on Joe con in mid June and then heading up to my parents for the 4th weekend. I don’t know if we’ll be able to do both and in the event we only do one, it won’t be Joe con. Glad I haven’t made any arrangements yet.
