Hola Joe Fans!
So this is my first year attending the convention. I am booking airfare; when should I fly in? I was hoping to fly in Thursday evening, would probably get in around 6PM; is that realistic? Does anything go on during Thursday? I am planning to leave Sunday afternoon; does this make sense? Some of my buddies are coming to do the "NOLA" party scene while I am at the convention; what time does the convention wrap up each day (they will likely be sleeping still)? How about Saturday, that's the one that counts? Does that wrap up by like 8 or 9?

You're going to want to arrive earlier than 6PM on Thursday. Convention exclusive sales/badge pickup usually start at that time. I try to time my flight no later than 2 PM.
The Convention floor usually closes around 5PM every day. |

what's the atmosphere /expectation for Thursday night? do we get our convention set ? what about the free-bee?
does anyone get together for happy hour / Bourbon Street run ? I'll change my flight knowing that registration is beforehand.

You can get your set and whatever else convention wise you want. However there will be a lot of waiting in line. But it's worth it for this years awesome Tiger Force con set. Wait a sec... Forget about that last part

What else can be said? Pod cast covers about everything. Not sure if it mentions that the cash line is always shorter and moves faster.
There have been special tours and activities scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday in the past (extra on top of Con registration). Also, there is usually a drawing for a free next years registration on Sunday at 3 pm. Must be present to win. So, I'm coming in early Tuesday and leaving Sunday Night. Wooowhooooo! |
