well, what were your high points?
1) Location! Atlanta allowed many people to drive there, or fly there without the layover. the Hotel was clouse to attractions (or tourist traps, depending on your perceptions) plus I had family there, so I didnt have to extend my stay till monday, we just crashed at my cousin's house. 2)Friends Galore! I went down there with one friend, and came back with about 30!It was Cool to hang out with fellow collectors. 3) Everybody's a comedian jokes in the cash or credit line, jokes in the seminars, jokes on the sales floor, jokes at the CFB meeting, and jokes everywhere else. G.I.Joe collectors are a funny lot! 4) THE GUN RUNNER IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! did I already say that? well I'll say it again: THE MARAUDER GUN RUNER IS THE MAN!!!!! If all the vendors were like him, the sales floor would be PERFECT!, AND THIS YEAR he had minions!!!!! 5) The BOOTY and I dont mean G.I.joes! A group of college kids pulled up on friday, and lets just say a lot of us who are not used to southern women got brain freezes! (and you wonder why I never made it to the strip club, Tazzman!) 6) Sales Floor This year it was somewhat bigger than last, and I ended up getting alomst everything on my wnt liast! only lack of fundage kept me form getting everything. (and to the guy who kept selling me the five dollar vehicles, Thanks a LOT! My bedroom floor is now COVERED in vehicles and Vehicle Parts!) 7) Brian Savage ...is robably the coolest guy you could ever meet! not only is he a businessman, running the club, but he is also a collector, making sure all the collectors, both 3 3/4 and 12 inch, get everything they ask for. He even mingles within the croud, and personally helps out at the Collectors club tables and Registration. 8)Guests It took awhile BUT WE FINALLY GOT LARRY HAMA! Not just him, but the original artists of the comic, Herb Trimpe, and Ron Winham, even the Devils Due artist was there (happy to talk to fans and sign autographs). ALl the guests were friendly and earger to talk to fans. Now ALl we need next year is to get the Cartoon voice acors, or the writers like Flint Dille... 9) advantage of Internet Friends thanks to internet friends, we all Roomed together with people we "know", so instead of spending 400 buck on the hotel for the weekend, I only ended up spending 120 bucks! 10) The Con Sets This is one of the best sets to date, especially the Jetpack troopers! Too bad they and the piper figures sold out....

NOW? I thought I always was!
I want people to get an accurate view of the con, so they can make the effort to go next year, the more people that go and join the club, the more fun it will be (and the cheaper the exclusives get)

7) Brian Savage
...is probably the coolest guy you could ever meet! not only is he a businessman, running the club, but he is also a collector, making sure all the collectors, both 3 3/4 and 12 inch, get everything they ask for. He even mingles within the croud, and personally helps out at the Collectors club tables and Registration. [/QUOTE] I've got to echo that. While I've never been to a Joe Con, I have had the pleasure to meet and talk w/ Brian at the last 2 Botcons. He's not even a TF collector and he still had all of the collector's interest in mind. And non con related, he's a standup Christian...something I really respect!

the sets were very nice
I nabbed some great deals there and was able to talk several collectors down on prices...always a plus I listed this as a negative as well but it was also a major positive, tons of friends in ATL |

You'd Better be... we need more Massachusetts representation!
