Guys, we are seeing many thread pop up about Joe Con. Use this thread to post any questions you have and someone will answer them as soon as possible!
I live about 4 hrs from KC, so I'm considering attending my 1st convention in 2009, but I have some questions. 1. Other than getting exclusive figs, what are the other main attractions at the convention? 2. Do you have to be there the 1st day to get the exclusive figs? 3. How long do you have to wait in line for the exclusive figs? 4. Do you have to stay at the hotel where the convention is located? Or can you stay elsewhere that is cheaper and drive to the convention location? 5. How much are the rooms per night at the convention location? Would you recommend staying here or elsewhere? 6. How many days would you recommend staying? 7. What are other recommended attractions in this area outside o the convention? If anyone could help with these questions, I'd appreciate it. |

1. Other than getting exclusive figs, what are the other main attractions at the convention?
- Pants parties! 2. Do you have to be there the 1st day to get the exclusive figs? - No, you have to be there a week in advance, and stay through the show, and then stay the following week. Then, and only then will you get your exclusive figures. 3. How long do you have to wait in line for the exclusive figs? -As long as you are able to stand, then you must go get a chair, get back in line (at the end, since you got out of line to get a chair), then you must be able to stay awake for as long as you are in line. (See my answer to question #2) 4. Do you have to stay at the hotel where the convention is located? Or can you stay elsewhere that is cheaper and drive to the convention location? -Yes. You must stay at the hotel where the convention is AND elswhere where it is cheaper. 5. How much are the rooms per night at the convention location? Would you recommend staying here or elsewhere? -How much money do you have? It's still not enough. The hotel charges 14 million dollars a night. (Actually, it's about $170 a night. Still way too much.) 6. How many days would you recommend staying? -All of them. 7. What are other recommended attractions in this area outside o the convention? -Well, alot of Tankers are going to be there. If that's not a recommended attraction, I don't know what it. If anyone could help with these questions, I'd appreciate it. -There you are. I did all I could. Enjoy, and see you there?

Very nice, theohiostateguy!! BTW, are you going?
As for the questions (It's my first JoeCon, so I will do the best I can): 1:There will be vintage stuff for sale, and, um, stuff. A big draw for me (beside the exclusives) is getting to hang with a bunch of fellow Tankers. 2:I don't think so, although your chances are certainly better. 3epnds on the day you go. Probably a while. 4:You can stay where ever you want, although staying at the convention center's hotel makes stumbling home from the bar after parting with said fellow Tankers much easier. 5:If you are a GIJOE Club memeber there are discounts involved. Otherwise somewhere between 150 and 200 a night. 6:All of them. You don't wanna miss anything 7:No idea, but see previous post about bars and Tankers.

I'd like to know too. I have never been to one before, but I am seriously considering this one because Chicago to KC isn't far at all. Is there usually a lot of stuff for sale and is it difficult to get the con exclusive figures while you are there - meaning, do you have to wait in line overnight outside to get the thing and pay a hundred bucks for it?
