The First Annual Ohio Valley Mini-Mego Meet...!

[emeraldknight47]

Go ahead, say THAT fast three times, I dares ya!!!!

Emeraldk-nigit47 (Chris) here to announce that MIB41 (Tom), Random Axe (Scott) and I are planning a little MEGO get together somewhere in either Florence, KY or Cincinnati sometime in the first week of September or so. We haven't clarified a solid date yet, but as soon as we do, I'll post it in this thread. We want to get together and "geek" out over MEGOs, comics, movies, sci-fi---and maybe some beer.

If anyone else is interested in going, let us know as we could easily carpool people from the Louisville and surrounding regions.

Thanks and Happy MEGOing!

[MLoudin]

COOL!!!

[almitysufx]

I'd try to make it. that would be cool

[emeraldknight47]

The more the merrier! To quote The Beatles..."a splendid time is guaranteed for all."

As I said, I'll post more details as they become more solid. Thanks for the interest!

[emeraldknight47]

Looks like the FAOVMMM might be taking place during the Cincinnati Comics Expo on Saturday, September 17th in beautiful downtown Cincy. More details as they come to me!

Some of us will likely be in Columbus in October for the Mid-Ohio Con. Perhaps we can make arrangements to hook up at that show!

[biotrontim]

There is Also the Columbus Toy Show Sept. 11

[Megospidey]

If you guys are going to meet, there needs to be some definite arrangments made SOON so that those of us driving 10 hours and needing to make other arrangments can be there. Just saying. :silly:

[Godzilla]

I know I'll be at the Toy show and probably at Midohio con.

Hey 'Zilla! I sent you a PM on this! Check it if you get a chance! Thanks!

Reading this it dawned on me that.. well, strange you should call it that because...

Wheeling is located at 40°4′13″N 80°41′55″W / 40.07028°N 80.69861°W / 40.07028; -80.69861 (40.070348, -80.698604)[8]. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 15.8 square miles (41.0 km²), of which, 13.9 square miles (36.0 km²) of it is land and 1.9 square miles (4.9 km²) of it (12.07%) is water.

Wheeling is located in Northern West Virginia, on what is known as the northern panhandle. It is directly across the river from the state of Ohio and only 11 miles (18 km) west of Pennsylvania. It is a part of the Tri-State bordering area of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, which is commonly referred to as the Ohio River Valley Region or "The Ohio Valley".

It's a pretty long valley. :smile:

[Godzilla]

PM sent Chris. Let me know if you need any other info.

[emeraldknight47]

Just to let those of you who are interested know, this subject is not quite dead yet. I'm still working with Tom and Scott to get this thing organized. I'm a newbie, so please forgive my tardiness and lack of proper coordination....!

[emeraldknight47]

I regret to inform any interested parties that the First Annual Ohio Valley Mego Mini-Meet is pretty much DOA. Sorry I won't get a chance to hang any with any of your cool cats and chicks, but maybe at the big Mego Meet in 2012....

[B-Lister]

The actual MEGO Meet is in the Ohio Valley, for those who need to know the approximate geographic area.

[hobub]

Yes, what I said. Upper/Lower/Mid. Same Valley.

[Random Axe]

We were attempting to reference the Louisville, Lexington, Columbus, Indianapolis region since they are all sort of equidistant from Cincinnati. I think Chris, Tom and I will still get a little something together late this winter/early spring in preparations for the real deal in June. Even if I just go to Lousiville for a night and hang with MM peeps, that would be cool with me.

[Captain_Mego]

I would be interested in this meet for sure. I am in Northern Ky.

[Random Axe]

Well, alright let's do it! There's a nice little collective within a 100 mile perimeter, so Megoheads Assemble!

[Troy]

Cincinnati here too! I'm interested....

[Toyman_Chris]

Wisconsin here and I am still interested. :grin:

[emeraldknight47]

Would definitely be something I and (I suspect) Tom (MIB41) would be interested in trying again! Good way to start the New Year---a meeting of the MEGOMinds!!!!

[Godzilla]

I'm in (Columbus, OH) but it just depends on when.

[emeraldknight47]

Anytime anyone wants to cast some dates out there works for me. I have no major plans coming up in the next couple of months and a little trip to Cincy would be good to alleviate the mid-winter doldrums. Personally, I would prefer a meet on a Saturday as I work weird hours on both Fridays and especially on Mondays when I have to be at my place of employment when most of you gents are likely still soundly sleeping....
