My MegoMeet Blather

[AcroRay]

Agreed Ray, and I was really glad to talk a bit with you and check out the amazing Micronauts display! And who'd have thought I'd find Dio and King Diamond tourbooks at MegoMeet of all places? LOL

AcroRay's No-Mego Megomeet Table! I'm glad they found an appreciative home! (KD used to hang in my dorm room, to offend my crazy neo-con roommate!)

It's good to know about all of those various restaurants and donut shops and stuff in the area, maybe for next year we can compile a list of that stuff and their whereabouts and make 'em available for the 2011 attendees...

That's a great idea! Particularly if you want to take a couple of extra days after traveling that distance.

We discovered the Highlands on the way home and it's got a really great bookstore and a selection of restaurants.

There are also a couple of interesting places downtown, like the market and a science type shop that was really cool.

I would have actually loved to have brought my camera and spent a couple of hours taking pictures of the architecture and surrounding landscape.

I understand there is some really great hiking and climbing in the area.

On my list next year is the Zoo and the Planetarium at the resort.

I'd be happy to contribute local area knowledge if someone were interested.

just let me know of some places/things that interest you, or that you like to go, and I'll do everything I can to compile a list.

Local TRU, Target, etc. for those off-site toy runs?, check.
Places to get good grub?, check.
Emergency Services?, check.
I'll cover ya. I don't wanna be the local tour guide, but if it's close enough to the museum, I can certainly hop in the car and you can follow me where you need to go!

The Valley has a lot of great things to offer, and there are actually THREE local toy museums. I can help you get to any one of them if you'd like, as they're all within drivable distances of the Meet.

That was at the Highhlands! I wish I had stopped in there, but after lunch, the Pet Store, the book store, Walmart and Target, it was time to hit the road. I'll have to check it out next time.

I wish I had known that myself, would have avoided my trip to Buffalo entirely and gone straight home.
