So, when's Mego Meet 2011?

[MegoSteve]

Second weekend of June again?

[ScottA]

I believe that is correct.

[VintageMike]

For some reason I thought it was back to the first weekend but either way my job knows the score now, I'm free to take days either week off.

[actjac01]

I really want to attend this one! Can't wait to meet some of you folks in person.
Especially now, during this 'Great Mego Renaissance'!

[ScottA]

DaveMc will know the dates for sure. For some reason I think the move to the 2nd weekend was permanate.

[palitoy]

Dave usually doesn't announce until the new year.

[Trappy Trek Freak]

The second weekend would be great because I have national guard duty every 1st weekend of the month.

[Godzilla]

Personally, I'm ready for it now.

[EMCE Hammer]

We could all be snowed in at the Super 8 right now.

[palitoy]

A romantic dinner at Hoss, then back to the Super 8 with some gas station wine. Paradise.

I'll bring the candles and soft music. :wink_y:

[noelani72]

Second weekend works great for me too...and I am ready now.

There was a South Park episode where Eric Cartman buried himself in the snow...to freeze himself to make the three-week-wait for the Nintendo Wii to come out...

it IS cold outside where I'm at...

[Trappy Trek Freak]

We went through Wheeling last night on our way back from the Steelers game and we went to Oglebay park to check out the christmas lights they were amazing they should leave that stuff up all year so everyone at mego meet can see it. Its so big that there were tour buses rolling in to see it. I thought it was going to be this little crappy ordeal but I was really impressed. Yes the second week in June is awesome and I want to make a time machine to make it mego meet all the time!!!!

[WannabeMego]

2nd week works for me...it gives me just enough time to get the 2010 pictures up...

[Mego Milk]

MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! !!

I'm there dudes.

[MLoudin]

Me too!!! I seriously can't wait... I may go to Wheeling and just hang around the Krueger Museum some!!!

[megocrazy]

Just bring em on a laptop and we'll do a slide show. :muh:

[drmego]

Dave likes to hold off announcing the date so he can book the better
rooms first - like the ones furthest away from the Suite.

[megojim]

I'll bring the candles and soft music. :wink_y:
Air Supply please . . . :heart:

[ApeAddict]

Will there ever be a west coast meet?!?

[ScottA]

Will there ever be a west coast meet?!?

Only if you (or someone else) organizes one.

[tactile2]

we're still talkin' about a north-of-the-border one.... :)

[THE FALCON]

A westcoast meet would be nice.

[johnmiic]

There was a West Coast Meet last fall. Sandy, Hector and a few other people went. Austin Hough/MegoWGSH also had one over a year ago in the mid-west I think. Dave only organizes the WV Meet. Members are encouraged to be pro-active. Network thru the Museum and get people together.

[megoapesnut]

I think I can finally go this year. We used to take our family vacation at that time of year. We switched to late July last year, so I thought I would make it. However, my son's high school graduation was scheduled that weekend so I was foiled again. I might make a motorcycle trip out of it this year as it is only 6 hours from my house. Looking forward to finally meeting everyone. How many people usually attend? I want to bring some surprise goodies and I would hope to have one for everybody.

[SeattleEd]

Yes, west coast meets would be really hard to organize unless there are enough people in interested. Lonnie Fisher came close to doing one when he piggy backed at a local toy show in Portland. I would have attended but it was the weekend before Thanksgiving.
I like the idea of it being in Portland since the there are so many west coast folks that can train, bus, fly or drive at little expense.
I've looked into facilities and have found a church hall that we can utilize but not much lodging in the area. It would have to be close to an airport. This is in Portland.

I like the idea of Billy Galaxy's idea of doing a meet at Wonder Northwest (http://www.wondernorthwest.com/).
I plan on going and hopefully any west coast or northwest folks would like to meet up, let me know.

As for Seattle, if any Seattle folks want to meet up with myself, MattelMike and Jason73, let me know. We meet at the Queen Anne Dick's burger but I plan on having a BBQ this May for Cinco De Mayo.

Cheers

Ed

Man you better have a trailor on that Bike to haul all that mego goodness:ape:

[batmanmc]

Usually If I Had To Guess I Would 100-200 Peopel Attend Mego Meet Each Year

[megoapesnut]

I have a Harley Ultra Classic Electra Glide, so plenty of storage space. And what I have in mind will not take up a ton of space.

[Captain_Dan]

Sounds like fun.

[Dave Mc]

Dates set!!!! June 10th and 11th!

[MegoSteve]

Thanks, Dave!

[VintageMike]

I have some vacation time to put in for tomorrow!

[wilbs518]

Awesome news. I will have my room booked by the weekend. I WILL NOT miss the meet this year. I can't wait to meet everyone!

[Chris DVM]

Hey,
Hold on the hotel for a couple of days. Will nail down the discount hopefully by this Friday.
Chris DVM

[megocrazy]

Guess I'll be in my same room. It's so far from all the fun. :sarky:

[Flynne]

Well, I'll have to speak to my new boss to see if I can get the time off. He's a real slave driver when it comes to hours, but if I catch him on a good day maybe he'll see fit to give me the time off. :)

Now THAT'S Funny :smiley1::smiley1::smiley1:

[B-Lister]

Had a blast last year, will be back again this year!

[boynightwing]

June 9th is my birthday and as it turns out Wheeling is about 6 hours drive for me. I think I'll try to convince the girlfriend to come with me.

[Fire Marshal Bill]

I'd really like to attend this year. Is anyone from Texas planning on driving up? I'm not big on flying :no:.

[megojim]

that's a loooong haul from Texas my friend. I'd suggest a nice relaxing flight with something to take the edge off.

[Fire Marshal Bill]

I'd definitely want to stretch it out over two days. Then again, a Xanax, a couple beers and a plane ticket is probably the better way of doing it :smiley1:. May have to have someone pick me up at the airport though :juggleyes_y:.

[ScottA]

Several people fly into Pittsburg and drive over to Wheeling. You could always hook up with them or someone driving from farther east. You just have to put out feelers and schedule times.

[harvey7297]

What are the dates and deets? Sorry, I'm new to the forum.

If we end up moving back north, I'll try to make it. :smiley13:

[ScottA]

June 10 and 11, 2011 in Wheeling, WV. Come early and stay late.

Thanks! By the way...just started listening to the podcast and I'm trying to gather the history of the Mego Museum. One of the hosts is palitoy...who is the other?

[ScottA]

MegoScott is the other. He built the museum.

[Trappy Trek Freak]

I can't wait I get excited about this time every year!!!!

[johnmiic]

Air Supply please . . . :heart:

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right

[megojim]

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

I know you were right

:shocked2:
I'm speechless

[Acroyear X]

Anyone interested in a Southern California Mego Meet?.

[harvey7297]

MegoScott is the other. He built the museum.

Thanks! Lovin' the podcast!
