    Update 5/8/2020

    I've been getting a lot of requests for reschedule dates for Mego Meet. As of now there aren't any, and there's no guarantee that there will be for this year. Until we have a better sense of when Canada travel restrictions will be lifted and when full assembly of large groups will be permitted in Ohio we can't really lock down new dates. By the time we do know, it may be too late. I will get refunds out this coming week, I simply did not have the bandwidth to process this week.

    I am working on some virtual ideas with Chris Noon our trusty auctioneer. We do plan to go forward with the bandwidth benefit bonanza auction, tentatively still on for June 20th, just online using Big Toy Auction. More to come on that in the next few days.

    Thanks,
    Steve

        Steve, I wasn't really trying to bug the crap out of you on this so I hope that I didn't pressure you into giving information before you were ready. I just needed to let my work know my vacation plans for the rest of the year. I figured there was a 15 percent or less chance of rescheduling this year. MY plan is to finally get with the times and buy a webcam and interact that way as a placeholder till w can gather. If I don't totally screw it up and get banned from the internet I'll do toy reviews, rants and debut some RandomNoir stuff and maybe do flash sales.
        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

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

                While this gives me time to perfect my custom, I must admit I am absolutely devastated that it's yet another fun event I am missing this year. Still, safety over fun. And with states reopening earlier than they should, I anticipate things getting way, way worse long before they get better.

                    ^Sadly, little will have changed, and in facts things could be worse with premature reopenings.

                      Yeah, sad to say, but it would just be a waste of effort and money for Steve to try rebooking a different month (if even possible) to just have to cancel it again. I'm sure the poor guy has a life. There are way too many unknowns and moving pieces right now, best to put everything on hold for awhile until we see how it all shakes out.

                        All I know is that the next time we're all able safely to get together for a Meet that I will be there and ready to hang out with all my friends once again, wherever and whenever that might be.

                          We could reschedule mego meet 2020 to run concurrently with Mego Meet 2021 and call it Mego Meet 20 and 21: Killng two birds with one stone or Mego Meet 2020: Hind sight

                              That would be cool to do flash sales.
