I'll be there on Friday with my family.
Saturday & Sunday my son Aaden and I will have boots on the ground.

Put me as tentative for Friday. Other days depend on stay arrangements.

Anyone have any idea on lodging? If I get a hotel outside the city, where is this parking garage?

Marked you down as tentative! Oooh another Deteroiter! How exciting

There are two Parking garages - one for the north building and one for south. Here are their locations:

South - South Parking - Metro Toronto Convention Centre · Toronto, Ontario
North - Metro Toronto Convention Centre North Building Parking- Precise ParkLink · Toronto, Ontario

These garages will likely fill up fast! There many other nearby garages though. Remember, the booth will be in the south building, so parking closer to there would be ideal.

Ooh, are you bringing your Mk Vb?

 

[valyriel]

I can help out Sat and/or Sun!
I didn't realize its not the same weekend as labour day this year

Depends on the parking situation. If I can get into the South parking, then yes. I don't feel like walking through the city in my armor. Haha

Thinking I'll get hotel near the airport and then go to the South garage at like 6-7am. Looks open 24/7 so I can beat the rush. Probably take a quick nap in my backseat and grab breakfast.

Ok gang all of the badges have been accounted for!! Actually, one over. AtomicDeadlock valyriel you guys are tied for the last one. We have enough people going on just Friday vs sat-sun that we will be able to share, so don’t worry. But anyone else after this will need to buy an exhibitor badge for $95 or buy a regular admission badge.

Alrighty sounds good! I plan to roll into the city around 9:00am. I’ll be on the train along with JT, Spoon, and Celmor. I’m planning to get a good spot in the south garage on Wednesday and leave the car there all weekend for armour storage.

Valyriel can have it.

 

[N8TEBB]

Valyriel can have it.

You sure? If you’re just there on the Friday you can use it that day and then she can have it Saturday/Sunday. It’ll work out. No need to spend the extra money if we don’t have to.

 

[Dead.Atomic]

Ah I was thinking it was tied to the person. If that's the case, that works if Valyriel is onboard. Consider me confirmed!

looking forward to it! is it ok if I hand out master chief stickers?

Unfortunately i gotta say no, you can't hand out stickers to the public. Fan Expo made a no-sticker distribution rule to prevent vandalism. But if you got some cool stickers that you'd like to give to 405th folks, absolutely bring em! I always love getting stickers! We can trade stickers amongst ourselves, just can't give em out to everyone.

Also, update for you and AtomicDeadlock -- AngelVirusX is no longer able to come, so we'll use his badge to make sure you both get one for the whole weekend.

[N8TEBB]

Thank you to all who signed up to help out with the booth! I'm really looking forward to seeing you all soon!

I would like to make a post on the canadian regiment instagram announcing our presence at Fan Expo! May each one of you please reply to this message with your instagram tag, as well as your favourite/best photo of your cosplay. If you don't have a finished cosplay, feel free to send a picture of your work-in-progress cosplay, your in-game spartan, or your regular profile picture. I hope to post this Saturday around noon.
