    10 Random Things I Learned From Mego Meet 2016

    1. When people say "bring your Castaway boots!" they don't really mean it.
    2. Folks love $1.00 bins!
    3. Whatever I almost brought but didn't is what people are looking for.
    4. People don't want to buy novels (even ones the author is selling) at a toy show.
    5. What I think will fit on a table and what will REALLY fit on a table are vastly different.
    6. If my son has $160, he will spend it all.
    7. 10 hours is a long drive.
    8. It's silly to bring a card reader for accepting credit cards and then forget it at the hotel.
    9. It's fun putting names to forum IDs.
    10. I want to do it all again next year!
