Just wondering if Dragoncon is the only big convention the Joes get together at. Are there any other Cons that you meet at, like Wizard World Chicago?

Yeah, Dragon Con is the one each year where we meet up. The Florida group JOEs at Mega Con in Orlando, and the Michigan group has JOEed at Wizard World Chicago before (but hasn't even gone to that con at all in the last 3 years, let alone costume there.  ) We've also JOEed at the local Motor City Comic Con a few times, but that's about it. |

We may hit WW Chitown this year. Nothin' set in stone yet but it'd be cool. Other than that, FX and Mega are the only others we Joe-it at down here. That's why Dragon's just so gosh darned special. It's also where all the Joes work out together  |

Fund yourselves up to Illinois, and I've got plenty of friends nearby the Rosemont Convention Center I've stayed with over the years I'm positive would let us all stay. I'm sure you two even know some of them.  Chicago-O'Hare airport is practically right around the corner from the convention center.....and it's a HUGE convention center. Man, now that I'm talking about it, I love going there, why haven't I been there the last few years??? Ah yes, because the last few years they moved it to 2-3 weekends before Dragon Con, and couldn't take both trips so close together. |

Sorry to go off on a tangent but,
I was wondering if Scarlett, Law & the others ever considered going to one of the G.I. Joe cons. If I'm not mistaken, they take place in different cities each year. I figure, they've got to head out to Florida or thereabouts sooner or later.
Does attending a G.I. Joe con in costume appeal to you at all?
Just wondering.
Best wishes,
Kamakura
Supporting the Joe team since, well, you know when.
P.S. I attended a big Joe con back in the early 90s. It took place in a hotel near the LAX airport. [This was during my college years in Cali.] It was tons of fun but I don't remember seeing ANYONE in costume there. There sure were LOTS of toys, though. Sure enough.
