JoeCon 2013: PitViper Looks Back…

From the desk of PitViper:

This morning was bitter sweet…and foggy with a mild headache and cottonmouth. Still there was something bothering me more than that and I knew a few bottles of water, Advil and a quick escalator trip to Starbucks wouldn’t really help what was bothering me more than a mild hangover and 4 hrs of sleep. It was reality and the fact that after 48 hours of hanging out with the most legit mother fuckers I have ever met, we’d all be heading far away from each other and there is a good chance it won’t be until a year or so that we hook it up again.

This kind of disappointment and subtle sadness actually started late on Saturday night when Darkwise headed out early and CodeNameFlint said when he woke up he was leaving. I knew there wasn’t another night of a real life B.O.B. until next con and that bothered and still does bother me. Seriously, this morning packing everything up was probably the closest I got to getting “emotional” in a long time. As I packed and straightened up my room I just kept thinking “this sucks, I wish we had one more day.” Knowing festivities were coming to an end I hoped in the shower and made yet another want list before I headed down to the con for a final sweep and score.

Hello everyone,

Just a few short days until the convention in Indy!  I case you have not seen it we have uploaded the SHOW SCHEDULE to GIJoeCon.com.  

In addition we have a new process this year that we hope will make the souviner sales go faster:

NEW THIS YEAR!!  Souvenir purchases are by a voucher system.  No punching badges!  Approved badges for souvenir vouchers are:  General, American Hero, Sergeant, or Exhibitor (no Aides or Exhibitor Helper Badge).  You will receive a souvenir voucher at package pick-up for this purchase option.  This souvenir voucher entitles you to a “Limit of 1” of each of the exclusive 2013 convention souvenirs sold in our Club Store.  Golden Ticket American Hero and Generals have “3 x Limit” of each exclusive 2013 convention souvenirs.  BRING YOUR SOUVENIR VOUCHER WITH YOU when you enter the club store line on Thursday evening or Friday.  The Souvenir Voucher is stapled inside your folder from package pick-up.  Your Souvenir Voucher must be present at time of purchase and must be used in ONE single transaction.  Once your souvenir voucher is surrendered, you will not be able to purchase more 2013 souvenirs until Saturday morning.

Your name badge is how you gain entry to the store.  You will not be allowed to purchase items for others by bringing loose badges.  Each person must be present, wearing their own badge.  Aides and Exhibitor Helper Badges are not allowed to buy exclusive 2013 souvenir items (if available) until Saturday morning.

See you in Indy!

Brian
