    I tried that but no dice unfortunately. The same thing happened last year, and when I called, it worked and they gave me the Meet rate, but this time the lady on the phone said that there were no more available at that rate, but I could keep trying to call to see if any more open up. Oh well, if I have to end up paying an extra fifty bucks or so because I procrastinated, that's on me. Thanks for the advice though!

      I have never gotten the MegoMeet rate and that's sad because I totally know before any of you. Stupid procrastination.

        Whoa, you are way more organized and regimented than I am, so that surprises me.

          As the absolute worst of the Procrastibators, thank goodness you and Scott let me crash in your rooms for one night each last year, after the hotel had no rooms left. Y'all are good friends.

          Ridiculously happy you're coming again this year.
          (also ridiculously happy that Scott's got us all organized for this year's Meet)

            I also procrastinated and missed the block. Had an incredibly difficult time contacting them. When I finally got through they had such a terrible connection I opted to just go through their reservation call site rather than direct to the hotel.

            After being told block was full chose to book next door at Quality Inn. It was about 1/2 the price and looks to be walking distance away. Didn't notice last year. It is across from Waffle House. Guess I'll see Austin every morning.

            So flight, hotel, car, registered for Meet. In on Thursday morning, out on Sunday early. So about 6 weeks to go. See you there.
            It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                  I had a different type of procrastination, but it's been taken care of. It seemed like there was never a good time to book my flight/car. I finally said "screw it" as I did not want to pay more at the last minute or worse be stuck driving again. Luckily I did not wait too long and rates were still pretty low.

                    I promise to get to a Mego Meet (hopefully next year) so I can finally meet all of you. I am going to be in Italy this year during Mego Meet. So planning on next year and have an S.O. that I did not previously have who is likes my collection (she doesn't collect) but supports my collecting habits and appreciates it.

                        I'll be in Columbus THursday morning to possibly check out toy/comic shops prior to check in at 3PM. This Meet is going to he HUGE.
                        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                        If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                          getting down to the wire - i have totally lost where we all left off on discussing the vendor licenses....since I got my tax ID for Illinois, I really dunno if I have to have one for Ohio now. When I filed my taxes for my "business" it has sections for out-of-state sales..

                            If you are selling like a garage sale no permit needed.

                            If you are making retail sales at a convention or festival, generally the state requires tax to be collected.
                            You can get a permanent $25 vendor's permit here:


                            And note: this is on the honor System. The state is not going to come and find you.

                              Dang it! Waited too long to book the reserved rooms. Time to formulate Plan B! 😉
