Another round of information: The room details will be posted here by this coming Tuesday along with pics of the head that Raginspoon is handing out to each paying attendee.
Picked up the materials we'll be working with in the tutorial part of the class. Dragonskin Medium silicone, and Smoothcast 327 plastic. If you don't have plans for Thursday, think about coming by! Last edited by Alyosha; 03-24-2013 at 05:25 AM.. |

Last announcement before Joe Con. The customs class/jam session is in room 202. This room is located on the second floor, to the left of Starbucks, past Griffin Hall. The rooms will be on the right hand side of the foyer space.
Raginspoon was thinking very positive, and had the room set for around 60 people, so there is plenty of space for everyone. If you are arriving late, and just want to come in and browse the swap & trade tables, entrance is only $10. If your attending, bring something that you want to trade off. No limitations on what it might be! Finalizing the tutorial portion of the class, we'll be pouring some basic molds (heads most likely) and setting those up to cure. We'll also be showing a basic mold box set up and ready to pour, and then showing how to handle silicone and curing that as well. After the resin has cured, you'll be allowed to take a piece of two with you as a bonus. Worked on the exclusive head that Raginspoon is giving away to all paying attendees last night. It's pretty cool, and I think you'll like it. He is setting it up in a gang mold right now, so everything is on track! Hope to see you there! |

Well, it's the eleventh hour, and of course there are issues. This morning Raginspoon got a call from the Con hotel saying that there was a "rider" with the contract with the GIJCC saying that any GI Joe related activities had to go through them so the location for the class will be changing. The contact at the hotel name-dropped Brian Savage specifically in his email. At the moment, it appears that it will be in one of the adjacent hotels and I will post the new details as soon as I get them today.
Needless to say, this move by the GIJCC was unexpected to say the least (although it probably shouldn't have been). As fans of the Con in general and the customizing class in specific both Raginspoon and myself are disappointed and inconvenienced by this, but the class will go on. Please watch this space (as well as my FB page) for updates later today. |

You are right, it shouldn't have been a surprise knowing who we are dealing with here. Even though this even will do nothing to take a single dollar out of Savage's pocket, he views it as a threat.

Wrong thread , Trolling is against the rules. Post your complaints in the appropriate bst feedback thread. Thanks to Alyosha and Raginspoon for organizing this. $20 is a steal for this event. Much respect and appreciation to you both. Last edited by sparks007; 04-01-2013 at 09:12 PM.. |

Our original location in the hotel was changed this morning due to issues arising from the GIJCC. The new location is:
The Convention Center across the street. We will be in room 144, which as I understand it is straight past Starbucks on the second floor across the skywalk bridge from the Hyatt. Here is a quick and dirty map: Last edited by Alyosha; 04-02-2013 at 07:52 AM.. |

I hate that I'm going to miss this!
If I was able to make it to Con I'd definitely be there. I'm disappointed to hear that the club shut this down. It's a great gesture to put on something like this and something most people might not get to do on a regular basis. It sounds to me like jealousy. That and they aren't benefitting from it so they don't want it going on. Ridiculous. Anyway, regardless, I hope all goes well now and everyone enjoys it. A good idea from some good folks.
